Default What are my tuning options?

Hey guys i'm new to the forum of course, i'm curious as to your opinions on what a good tuning module/chip is for my truck. I basically plan on getting a 4" or 5" exhaust from mbrp, and an intake system. I was previously into import tuning, where i would chip and re-burn an ecu, i'm not sure how diesels work though. i know there are module and chips. Input prease?

No need for 5" it does nothing for performance all it does is give you a deeper sound and cost more.

Exactly; much deeper sound. The price diff between the 4" and 5" is barely anything if you find the right kit.

Contact out sponsers... I know everyone thinks ebay is such a great deal, but most of our sponsers can beat those prices, and you know who your buying from.

You should keep looking... they can be found far cheaper than that.
