Today's Tuners
Are today's tuners on diesels reliable and trouble free? If properly installed, does more power negatively impact the longevity of a properly maintained engine? Thanks in advance. Mike

NO programmer can compete with custom tunes period. For power or dependability. Every truck will respond diferently. I have ran a hypertech and for the past 6 yrs a chip with custom tunes. Absolutely no contest.
I had no problems with the programmer but lots of people have.
Shift on the fly is great
Decell tune for decending those long steep grades is awesome.
Being able to decend 5 miles of 6/7% with no brake use is priceless
Trans stratagies are something you won't get in a programmer.
Tuner can put the shift points wherever you want them, lock the tq when you want & so on.
BUT not sure all this will work on a Cummins or Dmax. Never owned one.
You have to have run off the shelf programmers to know there is no comparison to custom tunes. I too run the DP tunes, decell ,40,60 ,80 ,and 120. I ran the Superchip before DP and it probably is the same as Hypertech ,and the others. Would never go back to off the shelf.
