I prefer a TS based chip, you have limitless options...

Swamps, Gearhead, Diesel Innovations, Tyrant, Beans, Total Diesel Performance, Elite... on and on...

Dont go for the gimmick tunes, a good chip with a high idle, 60-80-100-120 tune is about all you need.

I have changed my chips setting once in the last 3-4 weeks.

My .02 is to call up a few tuners that spark your interest and talk to them. Then pick your poison... Most of the tuners out there are stand up guys/gals and do a good job.

right on there...i got a lope idle when i got mine and was like oh this will be fun...and at first it was...now the only time i use the lope tune when i have to pass it to get to my high idle.

as for tunes depends on what u do. i only do light towing so ive got 1 tow tune. if u tow a lot and its different size loads u may think of doing 2 tow tunes (a light and heavy tow) so on lighter loads u can have more power

buy from whomever you want and see how you like it, get tunes that make since and that you will accually use. if you live where it gets really cold, high idle is a MUST HAVE!!! ive used that more then any other tune. and no matter how cool they sound do as everyone says and dont get the gimmick tunes, sled pull, smoke etc. theyre a waste of a position
