Will a DPF Delete help my fuel economy?
Written by John Cobb
Certainly.
Obviously MPG can vary from truck to truck due to environmental conditions such as altitude, humidity and temperature. Most customers see anywhere from a 2-5mpg increase in their fuel economy on normal driving after installing our tuning.

How do I install tunes on my Spartan Phalanx Console?
Written by John Cobb
These files will need to be unzipped/extracted from the included .zip file for use. You will need a program such as Winzip to extract the files. You can get a copy here:
http://www.oldversion.com/WinZip.html
I would suggest version 8.1 (1.7 MB). Once the program is downloaded, then you will have to install it. During the install process, you will be given two options, install with Winzip Classic, or Winzip Wizard. Select Winzip Classic, unless you are familiar with the program. Now double click on the file you downloaded from Spartan. Winzip should open automatically if it has been installed correctly. You should now be able to see your tunes. Next click the Extract button. You will have to specific the path (folder) where you want the files to be extracted too. Then click Extract.
Once extracted, you will have to create a folder on the sd card named transfer . You must have a sd card reader/writer. You can not create the folder on the sd card via the DashDAQ.
Do not misspell it, or place it inside another folder, other wise it will not be picked up by the DashDaq. Everything needed for the DashDaq should be placed in this folder, tunes, config file, themes, and splash screens.
Note: You will not have a copy of your Stock File until after the first tune has been loaded. As soon as this process has been completed, power off the DashDaq. Remove the sd card and copy your stock file to your computer. Make sure you backup all your files, stock file, tunes, and config file. Burn them to a cd/dvd and put it in a safe location for safe keeping.

Saving Stock File on Spartan Diesel Phalanx Console
Written by John Cobb
You will not have a copy of your stock file until you load your first tune. First, make sure the "sd" card is not locker, or write protected. Once you have selected to load the tune, your stock file will be copied to the "sd" card, then the tune will be uploaded to you vehicle.
As soon as the tune has been uploaded successfully, power off your DashDAQ, remove the "sd" card and copy your entire transfer folder to your computer. Make sure your folder includes all your tunes. They will be something like 210.enc, and your stock file something like your Vin #.stk. Make backup copies, and burn the file to a cd/dvd for safe keeping.
This is a must.
Don't wait to find that you have a problem and discover that your stock file/transfer folder is missing.. Remember, just about everything for the DashDAQ goes into the transfer folder. Do not make sub-folders for your tunes/stock file. If you do, the DashDAQ will be unable to find your tunes/stock file....
