WHy does nobody make a programmer for the 6.5 96+ trucks instead of a flash that is way over priced?

Thanks

Volume, volume, volume!

If you take into account the cost to develop it, add in a nice profit margin and then divide that total by the number of potential customers, you will see that it would cost WAY more than the reflash would.

It's sad to say, but our trucks are 'ancient history' to the aftermarket, and low volume to boot.

On GM-diesel.com at least one person made his own programmer for his OBDII truck and could turn up his veriables such as fuel delivery and advance.
