Go up to the SD forum and search this question.

I think I remember reading a post very similar.

Jacob, did you ever fix your problem with the noise in the radio and the DP tuner?

I kind of have a problem between the radio & the chip. Well, I htink it started when the chip was installed. After I got my chip, the speakers will pop when I step on or off the brake pedal. I think it's on the AM dial only. I don't remember it happening on the FM side. So it's not really that big of a deal to me.

Yes I did get it fixed. I talked to Dennis at ITP where i got it from and he sent me a new switch and cable and the noise disappeared.

Jacob,
What are the specifics on the DP tuner that you have? How many positions etc.? Can you tell a major difference in the truck? Also how does the quadzilla monitor work with it?
I know it's a bunch of questions, but I'm in the process of getting a chip as well and I don't see much written on how the DP performs compared to the Wildman chip. I do like the anti-theft feature that can be accessed by the DP switch without just turning a knob. Thanks in advance for any info you provide!

as far as the noise through the speakers,. thats weird. very strange, hope jody got it taken care of for you. i had an old model TS/DP tuner chip on my powerstroke for around a year and changed to the new F5 a few months ago. i love it and wouldn't consider any other chip after many many long conversations with jody and his wife. the truck had an edge unit on it when i bought it and i didn't like that a whole lot, also have experience with bullydog and hypertech on a few other trucks,. no comparison.

yea i have the stage one injectors and the chip burnt to them and it is just awesome on the 80 economy tune compared to the superchips extreme setting. I got my chip from Dennis at ITP Diesel and he includes a stock setting and one performance tune in the inital price of the chip. So I have stock 80 economy and 140 extreme. However i wish i would have gotten the high idle and a 60 or 80 tow program.

The monitor works great. However with the old first gen powerstrokes like ours it wont read the signal from the map sensor for the boost portion of the monitor. You can do what I did and get a map sensor off a 99-03 powerstroke and wire it in with the signal wire going to the MONITOR, NOT and I repeat NOT to the pcm as it will fry it. I chose it simply because it was 315 for the monitor, all the hardware, egt probe and everything to make it work, makin it cheaper than buying 7 gauges to read everything this reads.

Hope this helps and if you have any more questions just say so.
