On a '96 you will need a reflashed computer. A couple places to check would be HeathDiesel and KennedyDiesel. There are a few other people who sell them as well.

first of all superchips does not make a chip for your truck and us 96 and up 6.5 guys dont need chips we need a reflash of the computer.

Heath is the guy to call for a Reflash for your computer. if you tow heavy loads a lot you probably need a GLE but if your into pure performance the GL4 is for you

I think the water injection system is just there to lower IAT's. Unless your hauling heavy loads all the time, probably not worth it.

i would unless you want to fork over some cash for new injection pump and injection lines. besides most likely you would get a regular old DB2 that does not flow as much as a chipped DS4 which is what you have. plus you still ahve all the efficency of EFI still there. you could get a marine DB2 or DB4 but its all on how much money your going to spend.
