I ordered a two gauge pillar mount setup: pyrometer, and a trans temp. I also ordered the Tru-Cool #4739 add-on trans cooler to help keep the trans temps down. All this stuff arrives tomorrow:woot:
Anyway, Now that my gauges will be hooked up, I'm ready to go with a chip. Help me choose a good chip. I just want stock, tow, and economy/mild performance. Here's a program that I've been looking at. Is it a good program? Any recommendations for other/better programs???
Bob from dieselsite is a great guy to deal with but i dont not recommend that tuner.... the only think i woudl put on your truck is a custom tuned chip like a TW, DP or PHP....
do it right the first time... because i promise you you will be selling it later to go with a custom tuned chiop
Okay. Explain more please. What makes a "Custom Tuned Chip" ??? The Predator chip has similiar settings for economy, tow, stock, etc, so what makes the TW, DP, and PHP better?
It's a good question. Why are the highly recommended DP and TW chips called "custom"? Is it that the tuner can prepare special tunes for things like 4" exhaust, better intakes, valve bodies, and the other standard upgrades?
The custom tuner guys can also give you a quie tune for when you want the engine to get quiet like when trying to talk over the engine at a toll booth or something.

Now, that would be nice!!! I had to shut the engine off earlier at the bank today. And I hate shutting the truck down for just a minute or so, only to fire it immediately back up....
You can see a video of our Whisper Mode™HERE. I know a few other tuners offer something similar.
Just FYI, we do a lot of tuning for Bob's adrenaline pumps and work very closely with him. If you have any questions about tuning for his products, please feel free to ask.
FWIW, we feel very comfortable recommending Tony's and Matt's tuning. They're great tuners and really great people, so we don't think you'd be disappointed with either of them. :thumb: Tony's a little hard to get ahold of directly right now (through no fault of his own), but I know that Raul could get you hooked up if that's the route you'd like to take.
So, if the previous owner of my truck used something like an Edge controller/tuner, or other similar tuning product, and if I got my own chip, like a TW chip, would it over-ride anything that might currently be there that I'm unaware of?
