Dodge Screwed Me!!!

[JB]

So your just saying that a gas motor NEEDS the power and someone with a diesel WANTS the power.? To me more power is the same however you look at it, its not needed but can make driving more enjoyable/better.

I have yet to get below 15 since with my new tunes, no long hauls just boats and such. Before the best i was getting was 15 and averaged 13 with any city of towing.

I have a tuner for better shift points. I haul more weight than the majority of diesel drivers on this board at 75mph. I do not NEED more power. If I WANTED more power, I would not WANT to pay $5/gallon for it.

I respect farmer Joe hauling a dozen hay balesIdo not respect redneck bubba in his Dodge dually covered in marker lights with an exhaust pipe large enough to put my head in and a "git 'r dun'" bumper sticker, blowing smoke down Texas hauling nothing but empty Keystone cans.

Varsity has never given me a problem about my Edge. When I burned up the transmission at 70k under warranty due to rocking it in the mud, they tried to give me **** about the mud, not the programmer that had the shift points at +2. I knew it was my fault, but argued just regular wear/tear. They fixed it under warranty with ver little arguing on my part.

If I was a service rep at Dodge, I would be wary of this diesel ricer fad too. Is this your truck? or your boss's?

Let the dealership worry about that.

So do you live by your own rules? If you purposely went one MPH over the speed limit because you felt that it was ok to do (chip) and everyone else is going faster than you (about everyone I have ever known run some sort of motor mod), would YOU go to the closest cop shop and tell them what you did and to take your license (warranty) away?

If you answered yes, sorry, but you’re a dumb ass and would never drive a vehicle, if you answered no, then I prove my point.

I too used the chip at the lowest setting at all times to gain 4+MPG and turned it up no more than 3 or 4 times since I’ve had it because the stock clutch cannot hold the power and would glaze over the clutch and I would have to baby it for weeks after. The first injector blew before I had ever installed the chip.

The largest Dodge dealer in the world, located in Idaho, Dave Smith Motors, will install this chip on a new truck. If they are the ones to install it, they will honor the warranty. When I bought my truck from them in 2005 and another truck from them in 2006, both times they offered the chip add-on at the time of purchase as an upgrade along with bed liners, exhaust, and lift kits. Before I purchased this unit, I called and talked to a service manager to get a recommendation on brand and model and he confirmed that this chip would not cause any motor problems.

Also, I drive it like a baby, between Diesel costs and only being allowed to get tires every 40K miles, I have to conserve. I drive the truck harder when pulling a trailer (colman). I have not broke the tires loose or raced anyone for over a year.

You are wasting your breath, you have been lumped in with the likes of Robby and that is a stink you will never get off....

[Sharpe]

I would be hesitant to mod the engine of a new truck for the simple reason that if there were a way to improve power and mileage WITHOUT ****ING SOMETHING UP the manufacturer probably would have done it themselves.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

The big limiting factor on the diesels nowdays is the emissions. They have to keep it 'leaned' out to meet the stringent emissions standards. But who gives a crap about emissions.

Is that why my truck has a rough idle due to them detuning it to meet gay emissions?

Easy now...let's not toss names around so carelessly. With all the other diesel owners with tuners on the board I'd rather not be the only scapegoat for JB's ransacking. I have to say that I do agree with him on the diesel rice thing getting a little out of hand. But since I haul feed, a dozen bails of hay, and horse trailers for my mom I must not be lumped in with that crowd.
