I have a 2003 2500 EC / SB Duramax, This is my 1st Diesel. I would like to boost my HP with one of the available computer programmers but Im not sure which would be best as im new to all this stuff. I dont want to go crazy just some extra HP to play with and to help out pulling my horse trailer. I think the attidude thing is very appealing but I am concerned with warranty issues, if I take it off can the dealer tell by its been there, I m not quite sure what limping the transmission means but im betting its bad and it seems that alot of you guys do this with the attitude. any suggestion would be appreciated.


Thanks


Keith

Standard 90 hp is juice is easy on and off (5min) no tranny issues tow in level 2 play in level 4. You can set tow haul to one level and normal mode to another. Setting the levels is a little quirkey but not very difficult after the first time. By far the best bang for the buck.........http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gifdave

Thanks, dave I will look into it does this one let you clear error codes on the ecm?

Check out Superchips, also looking for honest opinions about this product. I do offer it on my web site, sold a few with no complaints from purchasers. My delivery trucks are 4500 series GMC and they are not for that application.


Thanks, Davehttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif

If you are only after a little extra power and am concerened about drive train life, I second standard juice. It's a black box that get's plugged into the bus, no cutting or splicing, easily removed and has nothing in the crew compartment and therefore cannot, reset or display anything. The plusses are that it makes good power while keeping the EGT's relatively low and monitors the tranny for slippage and backs off the power instead of limping the tranny.

Any ever hear of TSTProducts and their services, I'm leaning towards them, but I would like some input, mostly for towing and a little playing.


thanks, Ron

Quadzilla 110HP tow tune baby http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif yeeehaaww!

I just purchased the SuperChips Tuner for my Dmax. Wanted a tuner so I could bump up performance a little, but also wanted to be able to read and clear the codes if needed. If I had the extra money, I would go with the EDGE, but don't have that opportunity right now, so I went with the SuperChips tuner for now. I am anxious to see how it works. For $200 I thought I couldn't go wrong.

I run the TST comp box. It's not tranny friendly. It does have built in EGT and boost gauges though. It's more than a little power and you can definately hurt things if your not careful. If you want that kind of power I think maybe you should look at Quad's products. BTW at higher settings the TST box makes the throttle too sensitive for normal driving IMHO. For the aspect of power I'm happy so far. Now if I could just nail down this bursting thinghttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

a64pilot: Do you have their latest update? I thought I had read that their latest version had more power and that the bursting issue had been resolved...

a64 have you sent your box in for the latest update,it should fix your problem

mobowhunter,


Have you installed this yet, if so how do you like it, seems like Superchips and Quadzilla are the only ones that let you read / erase codes, but is that really a nesecity if you uninstall the chip prior to taking it to the dealer, can they tell that you had a chip installed? I really like the way the Edge stuff looks. Too many options.





Thanks to all for your input





Keith

Haven't installed it yet. Just ordered it today. I like the ability of being able to clear codes. I have heard of many members throwing code after code due to an error or some wierd circumstance. I just want to make sure that I have the ability to elimate any chances of warrenty problems.

I have the Superchip tuner. For cheap power I think its great. Reasonable egts and good performance. I have ordered the Juice/Attitude to see how it compares. If the attitude is leaps and bounds better, I will keep it. If not, then I will take advantage of the money back garuantee.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Disapprove.gif

Juice 90..... So far it's been a pretty incredible box. When I turn the propane on this truck is nuts.Edited by: hoot

Call get a RMA ..... Man are you in for a surprise ....

The Predator programmer will also let you read and erase codes. Also real time diagnostics.

For the price the Quad 110 should also be in the running ....

Tire size adjustment ,code reading and clearing,speed limit defeat and,upgradable to higher tunes down the road ..... If you chose to sell you can, unlike other programmers that marry the vin ....

Good value for the money ....

So many options today,compared to two years ago ......

How is Alli holding up? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif How soon until you need to send her to the Sunny Coast? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clown.gif

I've used both the Quad and the Edge. The Quad will rock on top end and has a really smooth delivery. It also had better shifting . The Edge has much better low end and feels stronger even though I'm sure it really isn't. Tough one to figure but if your towing, which I do a lot, I'd go for the Edge.

a64 and I both have a tst comp.......makes good power great product support.......I have an updated tst that I have not had time to try

sdaver: The TST might even stack better with your Stealth 215 than the Juice -- please let us know if you try it!

it did not with the old programing pl 1 te 9 and bursting
145/215 works real well......real close to comp oj(tranny killer0)/215

Perhaps the TST with the new programming would work better?
