the survey results summery is miss leading look at each failure and draw your own conclutions 80% of the motors that failed in this 49 engine survey were not tuning related

Joe Dont delete my post or I will go over your head mini mod.

 

Oh so did you run engine failure analysis on all them motors?

That is the exact same thing every had been saying to us when we say that tune could be an issue in that survey.

The truth is no one knows.

but it is kinda odd if you look at that data and see that 30 or 49 engines were running DP Tuner.

 

That survey doesn't seem to hold much water in my mind. Only 49 responses makes for a very statistically poor survey. The data presented just doesn't seem to add up.

I wanted to add: How many of these trucks were produced? Tens of thousands? 49 responses doesn't even come close to having any statistical validity no matter how you cut the cake.
"big stroker"- you are quick to call "camojeeper@gmail.com" out for not having assessed the blown motors. Have you assessed each of the motors? Are you a certified mechanic who is qualified to do a failure analysis?

 

LOL... You do what ever you think you need to Steve.

How do you know that 80% of the motors in that survey were not tuning related? Is this coming from your "well edgmecated" mind or someone elses???

The survey was open on 6 differant forums for about 5 months, anyone that wanted to could fill one out. It would be great if 100 or more people filled it out, but you cant make them. Same thing happened when Dennis at ITP did his survey... far to many DP motors to continue...

Everyone hates the graphs, but I am going to bust them out again... Give me a few...

 

So users from 5 forums, with multiple thousands of users, could only contribute 49 failures. Still no statistical validity. Far too small of a sample size. And it sounds like this has been done once before without success, so why do it again? What do you mean by "far to many DP motors to continue..."? If you look at the data from your survey, stock injectors and automatic transmissions are destroying motors. 82% of the failed motors also had cold air intakes, I thought cold air intakes were supposed to be good for the engine?

 

Think about it this way...

What do you put in a truck that changes EVERYTHING about the way the truck runs?

 

Bad fuel? Improper oil? Dirty air filter? Many things other than a power chip can affect the performance of the motor. 49 failures out of many thousands ain't worth the paper its written on amigo. How many power chipped trucks are there on the road that haven't had engine failure? I'd bet you a handsome sum of money its a lot more than 49. And since you didn't answer my questions should I write them again or can I assume your lack of response means you have no good answer to provide?

 

LMFAO I don't have to argue with you about it.

Yeah there wasnt many people that took the survey. Oh well there was enough to see a trend.

why do I get this feeling I have argued with you b4.

Oh and I'm at work that's why there are short answers

 

As far as the first attempt... It worked great, just pointed at one thing...

... Ok...

85-90% of the 7.3's out there are automatics...
80% of the time one of the first mods people do is a cold air intake...

Do you understand why things like that are not really relivent?

How does bad fuel effect SOI(Start Of Injection)?

No one has ever said there is not more then 49 failures, but if thats all you can get thats all you can get...

 

I think he is a troll... But I have no proof as of yet. I dont want to chase anyone off so...
