8 position tuner???

[tsuxjfreak]

Hello all. I am new to to forum and new to the diesel community. I bought my truck used with a tuner already installed. I have been trying to find out what tuner chip i have without taking the pcm apart. It does not have gauges so i have been warry in driving out of the stock setting. My tuner is a dial knob with 8 positions:

1. High Idle (12noon going clockwise)
2. Valet (wont go over 67mph)
3. Stock
4. 50? (little kick)
5. 75? (about same as #4 but maybe a bit more)
6. 100? (havent driven here but acts similar to #5)
7. ??? (idle bumps up when sitting, havent driven)
8. ??? (still has high idle)

I am going to be doing some towing with the truck and want to make sure i am driving on correct settings and know what is in my truck. If anyone could shed some light it would be greatly appreciated. If i just need to pull the chip i can do that too, just thought i would try this first. thanks

Just tow in stock or the 50 setting and you will be fine. Just don't dog it on hills

That was my plan for now. All the tuners i have seen were only 6 position so I was just wondering if there was a brand I missed. It just seemed like the positioning of the tunes was different than anything i had researched. Thanks

check the washer behind the position switch it should have L shape on the end make sure the L shaped part is in the number 6 hole

sounds like the TW(not sure what kind of "switch" they use) or the banks 6 gun????? sounds like to me not sure. PCM is easy to pull, you cant tear it up while removing.


this isnt "good advice" but ill say it anyways, if you egts or tranny is going to get too hot, you will know it. truck comes factory with a trans temp?my pops 00 and his 02 did.

and when your egts get a little "too" high, your FACTORY ODOMETER GAUGES will read hot lol we found that out on his 02 not too long ago

if none of that helps you out, oh well ha im on my phone bored out of my gord

EGT= exhaust gas temperatures (I know the OP would ask what it stood for. lol)
and I doubt it's the Banks 6-gun b/c they don't offer a high idle or a valet. At least mine didn't when I had it.

My guess is it's a DP tuner if it has more than 6 positions I could be wrong but I thought all the TS style chips only went to 6 positions

That's what I was thinking. And DP tuners are great for the 7.3

I haves correction to make. I was playing with the knob today and realized it actually has 10 positions. This would lead me to think it is a DP cause they were the only ones I saw with something infield wording that sounded like a 6 position with 4 custom tunes. Can u remove the chip and get a number of somesort that I can contact DP with to find out exactly what tunes it has?? Thanks all for the info sorry about the faulty facts. -josh
