what's the best programmer for milage and performance? 2006 duramax... thanks

67chevy2wd · 01-31-2010, 07:08 PM

PPE hands down. Unless you want to tune yourself with efi live.

justagoodolboy · 01-31-2010, 09:28 PM

I've never owned a diesel but two of my buddies like PPE.

duallyjams · 01-31-2010, 09:48 PM

I have a 2002 DMAX EF live gets my vote.

clinebarger · 01-31-2010, 10:27 PM

I also recommend EFI Live, If the truck is still under warrenty I whould leave it alone,

69trk · 01-31-2010, 10:45 PM

Not under warrenty. I had a hypertec programmer on my 01 dodge diesel and made a world of difference on power and fuel milage. I think they are worth $500 or so if they increase mpg by at least 2to3 mpg... I think i'll check out the ppe stuff. How much is the efi live?

I got mine for $730 through Blackbear Performance
Although that was discounted when I got it.

Think it is about $800 now

Again EFI live hands down, but for a simple programmer anyone can use its impossible to beat PPE.

07HDClassic · 02-06-2010, 12:09 AM

EFI Live hands down.... especially with the new DSP5 switch that is now available for custom tunes that are adjustable on the fly. I'm running SuperChips right now and I like it a lot, but you just can't compete with EFI Live!

**Dieselwrencher** · 02-06-2010, 12:24 AM

EFI live, then PPE, and then maybe an edge if you are on a tight budget and find a used one. They have been selling cheap lately.

djracer · 02-06-2010, 01:48 PM

Don't buy a hypertech. I had one and swapped to a diablo Predator. The hypertech wide open was like the towing tune on the diablo.

69trk · 02-07-2010, 09:13 PM

thanks, did you guys see any improvement on mpg?

djracer · 02-07-2010, 09:20 PM

a little but not a ton cause I can't keep my foot out of it.
