Your right but it started to go south and I couldn't help myself. :D

A lope tune IMO has no purpose . It cannot be used as drivable tune and it's sole purpose again MO is just to make your truck sound like it has a cam in it like a gasser,stupid. As far as it helping warm up your truck, well if you say so ,I have my doubts.

Anyway,who cares but for sure when not if,it comes up again I believe that it will be ignored or perhaps a link to a previous discussion would be in order and closed.

I think it's funny that you say it has no purpose and then explain the purpose. If someone wants a lope tune they obviously want their truck to sound like it "has a cam in it like a gasser", which isn't stupid to them; Just because you and I don't like it doesn't make it stupid. A lope can be put on any tune, so there is no reason it isn't a driveable tune. Would I want to back up to a trailer with it, no; but it shouldn't be such a hard lope that it pushes you through the brakes either.

"A valet tune serves no purpose except to lower the performance of your truck for when someone else will be driving it, stupid." They should either buy a slower truck or not let others drive it. Oh wait, there are people who want or need that even though it gives no performance benefit and because they are paying for custom tuning they have that choice.

If you disagree with what someone says then don't answer or entertain them, if they are ignored and their "stupid" questions don't get answered they will find another board where they do get answered.

I think it's funny that you say I should ignore this question so it would just go away but yet you disagree with what I posted responding telling me to ignore it. Or should I assume you didn't expect me to respond when your post is directed at me? Pot Kettle

Perhaps you over looked the IMO or even the MO which stands for In My Opinion and My Opinion. A valet setting holds more merit IMO then a lope tune. If your bringing your truck in for service and perhaps you do use a valet service say at a hospital. I also stated that if someone was or wanted to 'pay' for a lope tune I'd corner the market and charge double! In addition if you like to drive your vehicle with a lope tune which again IMO go for it . I have had a sticky FPCV so I know what it's like and it isn't fun and can be dangerous!

So again IMO I do believe a lope tune to be stupid and UN-neccessary,others may feel differently! It's something for the 'kiddies' to giggle at in a parking lot.What else would it be for other than to make the sound of a built gasser? :eek:

But for the sake of argument I do understand where your coming from and in the future which is very uncommon on BB is keep MO to myself in referencing a lope tune. Sure seems like others feel the same but you chose to single me out. :hello:

To each their own.

Wow. Just Wow. I can't believe I read all that:roflmao: OK, IDK and IDC how many will actually read my POV and consider it but here goes.
It IS my truck, and I can do to it as I please. That said I DO care about it and won't go loping or smoking or whatever all over all the time, but if I want to do it after being told it's bad for it (Thank you for those who responded with that info instead of "Arggghhhh..... Hate you....... You're Killing DD........ Troll........) can educate/change minds, bashing will make me and the OP and whoever else posts/reads more likely to say **** them, I'm doing it.

It WILL NOT make the community look bad. If I put it on and drove it on lope all the time, and 30 thousand other Duramax guys did the same yes. The few who asked in this thread won't. It's a big world out there and maybe you rode the Disney "Small World" ride one to many times.

To each his/her own. When the HELL did this become a communist society???? I have Vet Family/Friends who fought for that, family and friends in the service now and whether you agree or disagree with the current fights, it's THEIR ASS on the line for this country. If someone feels they have the right to take away my freedom of choice I feel I have a right to tell that person/persons to go fck themselves. :mad:

If you want to talk about useless... Stacks just to have stacks, then they have no purpose, take up bed space and I PERSONALLY don't like the look, so should I flame your ass if you have stacks or ask about them? Aftermarket wheels and tires purchased for looks, lifts when you don't need the ground clearance or just for bigger tires just for looks, lowered trucks when you're not racing just looks. Blacking out trucks, Removing door molding. IT'S NOT POINTLESS TO THE OWNER THAT WANTS IT. If we all wanted the same god damn thing we wouldn't need a forum, just a PDF on how to build that generic cookie cutter "Truck"

The reason I don't talk about horrible books is cause I don't effin READ them. If you don't like Lope tunes why in the HELL would you click on a thread TITLED "lope tune"??????? You sat this is the "most technical" Forum, and yet all I see is a lot of bickering, with a few relevant answers, and you guys even accused one of the Members who gave real info a troll. :doh:

I know, but some are truly serious and hurt by this, I can pretty well tell which is which. I'm not MAD about it, but I am quite surprised by how many truly feel it'll bring down DD, while all they're doing is ranting with the type of post they're afraid of, non technical bs.

The problem is the people that want 'smoke tunes' are the reason we have crap like the DPF shoved down our throats... Forgive us if some of us feel contempt for people that want these 'smoke tunes'. Now, the OP asked about a lope tune, but 'lope' and 'smoke' kinda fall into the same 'diesel ricer' categoty.

He asked about a lope tune, not a smoke tune. They're two totally different things. Yes, a smoke tune is bad, but a lope tune will probably not even be noticed by 99% of the public. I'm not saying I think they're a good idea, but if someone wants to do it to their truck, who cares? It doesn't hurt anyone else if they have a lope tune. People do a lot of things to their trucks that I think are stupid or "rice", but I don't tell them unless they ask my opinion. Nowhere in this thread did the OP ask for anyone's opinion of a lope tune. He asked how to make one. Like Dustin said and I said earlier, if you ignore the dumb questions, they'll quit asking the dumb questions and/or quit posting here all together.

Well if I offended you that wasn't my intention... Well maybe a little:D I think you will be just fine here. I like a guy that will stand up for himself and not take no for answer, if it's something he truly wants.:stirthepot2: most are just stirring the pot.

Let's recap...

1) Most don't want a lope tune

2) Those who do have every right to have one

3) That been said, does anyone have something new they can add?
