Default What Is The Best Box

Ive got a old buddy from the Shop where I worked with a 03 LB7, Hes looking for a box that has gauges yet is a good bang for the buck... This isnt a puller or racer he just wants better fuel mileage and some power. I was thinking a TST or Edge juice with attitude but I wasnt sure if they had any more out there for the Duramax... He doesnt need EFI!

Thanks guys!
Ian

The Bully Dog Tripple dog would be a great choice! me and luke both have some in stock that are used at great prices! I would say the Edge Is also a great Option as Well! The Tripple dog is adjustable in the cab IF the downloader is still plugged in! Also , Quad dose some great things! Let us know what you think about these options and a price range!

Tripple dog is around 120 without crazy lary if i remember right and edge is right around 120
Thanks

I had the hypertech in mine and I liked it because it added some safe power and gauges were not that important to me. The others mentioned above offer more power for sure but if he is not pulling or racing and all he wants is a little better fuel economy have him check into the Hypertech.

I have also heard decent reviews on the superchip for the lighter tunes.

Does TST even make a box for the DMax? Judging by their website they only sell the Superchips tuner. IIRC TST leans towards Cummins the most, one of the best bang for the buck on my old 24 valve.

TST is working on somthing for the duramax, Its been kept under wraps!
TST understands the cummins very well, It takes time to gain the knowledge it takes to create a high quality product!

Tell him to look at TTS ( no box with gauges) or the Bully Dog Triple Dog which he can hook the PMT (IIRC) up to. Both excellent products..
