Cummins diesel

Hello everyone. I am wondering if you might have a recommendation for a good diesel tuner here in the Southern California area?

I have a American Tradition with the 5.9 cummins in it and it lacks boost and the pyro seems to go up very quickly on any sign of a grade.

I lost my husband and am now having to figure this stuff out on my own so would appreciate finding a good tuner to help me insure all is good on this motorhome.

Thank you

    My pyro jumps to 1000 at the hint of a load. I had to take it all the way down to 3rd for the grapevine. I was only doing 35 and we were not towing.

    A friend of mine has the same coach minus the slide and said he always has plenty of power.

    Just want to make sure all is well? Could very well be driver :(

    You may be waiting too long approaching hills ,before putting Your foot in it !
    The boost....ie get up and go relies on Your right foot!

    If You Lug a Diesel the Temperature will go up quickly so your Pyro gauge will rise rapidly!
