7.3 PSD Tune Questions

Bill's tunes are going to be a lot more "linear" feeling. The farther you push the accelerator pedal, the more power you will get up to maximum.

Fuel mileage probably won't change while towing. Empty, it will all depend on how you drive (and it's going to be hard to drive normal at first due to the "new" factor).

You can definitely use the 65 HP towing tune for a daily driver with no issues!

As for a third program? It's completely up to you but since it's an Evolution, changing programs all the time gets old. It's certainly not advisable to get a no-start or high idle in that position though!

Thanks so much for answering my questions. I hope to get this process started as soon as we get back from a camping trip this weekend. We are pulling the trailer to Colorado this summer so I am hoping to get it done before that trip. What is the ballpark turn around time to get the conversion done?

I can't honestly give you a turn-around time. The good thing about the diesels is that if they don't need anything custom done to the tunes, the process of tuning them isn't very time consuming. It's basically a matter of changing the Evo case to a Gryphon case, changing the firmware, and slapping a few tunes onto it.

I'd say that it wouldn't be more than 2-3 weeks start to finish ---- if I had to guess.

Sounds great. I am really excited to try y'alls tunes. Thanks again for all your help. This site is awesome. Never been on a site that is so helpful and nobody tries to make you feel like an idiot for asking questions. The only bad thing about this site is the Arcade section. I wasted a lot of time in there last night. My kids saw me on there and can't wait to get home from school today and try some games out. They said it looks more fun than Playstation. Go figure!! Thanks again!!!!!
