Chip question..........

[geonc]

DON'T SHOOT guys I know I'm in dark waters

My neighbor just "retired" a '02 duramax from his construction fleet and gave it to his son who has no knowledge of diesels {he's 43} and not a hot rod type.

Clean as a pin, 100k mi, serviced reg

My question is, for just towing and fuel economy....what chips are out there
and how do I find his program code--are there as many like the PSD?

That duramax sure is quiet altho does have an injector tic....mebee my ears are not tuned to that alloy head

Nothing wild, as that is not his game.

I'm pretty sure that Edge makes a controlled chip for the Duramax, adjustable in case you want to get wild too.

Lots of options. Edge w/attitude is nice and can be had at a good price especially used.

Or you could go with the TTS extreme for an instant 500 RWHP.

The tick isn't an injector tick. It is common on all Duramax's and is nothing to worry about. Sometimes different oils can make it worse or better. Try synthetic Mobil 1. It seems to get rid of it totally for a lot of people. GM oil seems to be about the worst.

Lots of times you will get the tick after you change the oil and it will go away after a few miles. It is something to do with air bubbles in the oil.

Thanx fer the oil tip! How do those duramaxs run with Rotella 15-40 dino?

Used is the way he wants to go, he's a pretty frugal guy!
I need to get him to at least open up the air and exhaust! :Sly

His dad has an '04 CCDRW that just last week got a Monster 5" exh, EDGE EVO package

I got to drive it in all levels..stock/economy/tow/race/extreme and just by the "ol butt-o meter" my '96 feels better and sounds MUCH sweeter

Of course I'm used to rowing gears

NOT trashing the Duramax/Allison package by any means,just kind of a let down.

Actually the intake and exhaust is more then enough to run a 100hp tune. You can run 500hp on a stock intake and exhaust without problems.

If he has the comp juice/attitude it will lay down probably 450hp but at that point a transmission upgrade is definately required.

Don't kid yourself, Duramax's can be made to go very fast very easily.

Transmission upgrade and a $1200 TTS extreme and it will run low 13's high 12's.

The 100 hp step is right up his alley
NOW just what chips/programs are out there....he kinda amped at the $1200 TTS and tranny upgrade.

I'm quite aware of what those Duramax's can dish out.......got my *** handed to me at the last sled pull :draw

Thanx
