What Tuner Are You Running All DMAX?
 
Let's talk tuners and the pros and cons that you have personally seen with them.

I ran the predator and the hypertech in my LB7. My first diesel truck was the LB7, I started with the hypertech and liked it quite a bit for a while. Then I wanted more as do most, so I used the predator and liked it much better.

I ran the predator, quadzilla and the hypertech in my LLY. I started with the hypertech and I hated it, I thought the power and MPG increase was minimal at best. Went to the quad and it took too long to load and the truck shifted like crap not to mention to much smoke for my taste. I finished with the predator because it seemed to be the smoothest shifting of the 3, economy seemed to be decent and the smoke although it was heavier not obnoxious. I should have just started with the predator and saved my money on the quad and hypertech but I figured I would give the others a try.

I am running the PPE in my LMM, and I really like it. I would try the EFI but I am a LOT scared to try to program the thing myself. I am sure I could figure it all out but I just fear messing up a good thing.

I'm running EFI right now but have used PPE and Bullydog also. I liked the PPE alot, great economy and nice shifts. The bullydog however had terrible economy and crappy shifting at best.

I have ran almost all tuners in my truck, Edge Juice with Attitude, Edge Evolution Bully Dog Triple Dog and PMT, Superchips, PPE and now run a 500+ EFI tune.

I believe the PPE is the best handheld tuner in the market place. It has clean shifts, clean tuning, big power on higher levels and has many features unavailable on other tuners. It can put your trans in fast learn, datalog, check balance rates...so on and so forth. Best bang for your buck in my book

EFI live is a great tool, and is the best option for competitive racers and sled pullers, but if you don't have time to fool with making and testing tunes, it is not the best option for you. If you don't have time or knowledge to make tunes, then you are just buying someone elses tuning like you would have with PPE anyway.

Just my $.02
