Installed Programmer 1800 miles in 3 days

[mmandley]

Hi everyone.

I just got my diesel programmer installed.

Thanks Bill and PHP team for 2 day shipping to get it to me before i left on my trip.

I noticed a few things maybe you can help me out here.

1 - No trans temp? I have a trans temp gauge on the dash but the programmer says N/A? Why is this?

Rest is about the canned tunes. Im trying to figure out if i really need Custom tunes or if the canned tunes will do what i need.

Trans Mode = Seemed pretty stock and i didn't notice a difference in my trans performance. What is this tune actually used for?

Economy tune = used this on my trip the most. Every time, and i mean every time i started my truck i get a Check Engine Light. p0299 T/S Underboost.

I assume this is due to my turbo not boosting at idle.

Im worried this tune isnt running the turbo enough and i will get carbon build up and turbo issues down the road. Is there a concern with that? Is there a way to make the CEL not come on every time i start my truck? I like this tune on the highway but in town its really dogged feeling.

Tow tune = I didnt use this as i wasnt towing, i assume its a power tune to allow more HP and Torque at lower RPMs for pulling.

Extream = didn't use this one as im running stock Head bolts. Is it safe to run this tune? Im afraid to damage the engine. I don't plan on driving like a NASCAR but if i punch the go pedal i don't want to break something eighter.

Please help in these concerns if you can. I already paid PHP for 4 custom tunes but Bill said if i liked the canned tunes then he will credit the money but knowing me ill just add it to get the FICM re tuned as well. Please Help.

Thanks
