Diesel tuning chips....mmmm.

Oh , just a note , mine was tweeked by the manufacturers when I mentioned my truck was a manual box. I find now that when bimbeling at 30 - 40 mph I need the very lightest touch on the throttle and can have it in a higher gear than before . E.G. 6th gear at 40mph is now possible . Before it would obviously be laboring . I presume this is down to more torque ?  Also I have had to re learn my throttle foot . For " normal " driving much less downward pressure on the loud pedal is needed to achieve similar progress as before .

This whole post sounds dubious.

Are you saying I am lying ?

I had an Audi that was chip tuned.  It had extra HP and torque but had much  better fuel consumption.

 

Altogether a better package IME.  Drove lovely with the upgrade.

That’s how my chipped ranger handles. I’m often at near tick over in fifth.

No no, just that what you are claiming sounds dubious.:)

So not telling the truth then ?

Had my Td5 130 remapped a few months ago along with a bigger intercooler and HD clutch, totally different now, will pull tracked chipper and trailer with ease, revs much more freely. I think a proper re-map is the way not just a generic box.

At your age it might just be forgetfulness.

Andy . I have nothing to gain by making this up . I don't have shares in the company and I am not on comision . I am just recounting what I have found ( along with many others it seems ) I was skeptical but I am now pleased .
