chip or programmer?

[OBSboy]

which is better and safer to have on a truck with over 220,000 miles. a chip or a programmer? and what are the benefits of both?

It depends. If you are speaking about an off the shelf programmer with canned tunes then you will probably not be too happy with what it does to your transmission. If you get a programmer with custom tunes it will be just like having a chip except you cannot switch tunes on the fly.

The benefit with a programmer is that you can just plug it into the OBDII port and load a tune. On the flip side, you will stay in that tune until you shut the truck off and load another tune.

The benefit with a chip is that you will be able to switch tunes on the fly. The flip side is that you have to remove the PCM to install the chip(not necessarily a bad thing, just more time consuming).

Either way you decide to go, we can get you setup. We have the F5 and F6 chips and also the Infinity programmer/monitor. You can check the chips out HERE, and you can check out the Infinity HERE.

Feel free to shoot me a PM or e-mail if you have any questions regarding our products.

Thank you. I am still finding new features every time I start messing around with it. The power it has is nothing short of amazing indeed. Let me know if you have any questions about it.

I'd just like to chime in that I am very happy with my dp f6 and Jody was both fast and prompt in adjusting my tunes to suit my taste.

Most common is a chip. But the safest are custom written tunes for you and your needs. Only after gauges/monitoring though.
