well the tunes might have the same name but that doesn't mean they're the same. i would really like to try beans to see what they're like since they're so proud of them.

really it all depends on who tunes it. custom tuning is pretty much set individually as to where banks or superchips bring high dollar, because they're very complex tunes, they leave nothing out. buying a chip that cheap and offering the same horsepower ratings as a high dollar one might be a bad idea. chances are there's not much to the tune, and could hurt your motor. a good medium dollar range would be $350-$550. dp-tuner is a great tuner for these trucks, ts is good, or even better, a ts with wildman tunes! i prefer dp.

try Strictly Diesel Home Page great deal on alot of parts, great service!

I've heard nothing bad about Tony Wildman, PHP or Beans.
