http://www.dp-tuner. The best part is its not "one size fits all". You can order each individual setting that you want/need for your application. |
Had an 01 F350 4x4 with the 7.3 in 02/03 and used the Superchips tuner in it and towing 5000 lbs at 80 mph averaged 18.2 and ya know by now that the programs have been updated/improved.

My wifes truck hauls ass with the DP tuner. Trans shifting is a little harsh for horses though!

I have an '03 7.3 stock I get around 13 14 normal driving. You guys posting 19 is that for real? Are they otherwise stock. I don't like them loud. I don't need more power by 19 sounds awesome.

I have the DP tuner too. Do not spend money on the antiquated Bank's stuff. They are just a simple raise in injection pressure... you can do the same with a 5 cent resistor.
For the 7.3 the DP tuner is the way to go, you can select what ever programs you want. you could only do 3 if you wanted, though most of us have a few more fun tunes. I also like the fact that if I remove the module on mine, it goes into a no-start mode. The truck can not be driven away and stolen at that point. Shooting out black smoke in the high tunes is fun for tailgaters... not that I condone that type of behavior :) Also get gauges. For what its worth, I upgraded from a super chips to the DP-tuner. I will never go back. shifting tunes on the fly is awesome. I was caught out in very slippery conditions, pretty much black ice everywhere, and being able to flip the switch back to stock was a life saver. |

I don't know about 19mpg on the highway, but he is in Arizona. The flatness may have something to do with it. There are too many hills here. |
DP Tuner only they rock.

96 F250 7.3 two wheel drive here with superchip , downpipe and filter , 3.55 gears , all else stock,no lift , no supersize tires, stock size tires, standard cab ,heavy azz utility bed,
19-20mpg in my daily 80 mile round trip commute consisting of 12 miles of hills , 10 miles of 40mph city streets and the rest 65-70mph highway. (if I go over 65-70mph fuel milage drops drastically) I check it at least once a week , no bs .. ran it once at track, ran 16.9@83, weighed 6990 with me in it and all my tools in the back. :) I would push it off a cliff if it only got 14-15mpg! :D |

B One is yours brand new with all the paper work? Why are yu getting rid of it, did you not like it?
Let me share something with you that I designed. I took a line right after the pressure drop on my a\c were the line gets cold. Made a coil, put it in a box, after the innercooler and before the intake manifold. The air comes from the innercooler goes through this superchiller then into the intake. This thank is great it make the truck run the way it would on a cold morning. Increase maybe 50hp. mileage went to 24-28mpg. Cost less than $100 to make. |
Are you guys getting your milage from the trip computer or doing the calculations? I hear that once you add the computers the trip computer is basically useless. Or have they fixed that problem?
