I find that chipping diesel motors today is not as common as people think. I know dozens of guys that have diesels and maybe 3-4 have theirs chipped. It would be interesting if there was poll on RV-net that people would respond to honestly indicating the true numbers that are chipped.
Well I chipped mine to "Wake it up" early electronic diesels very conservatively tuned out of the factory. Factory setup on my 01 Cummins was 235 HP and 460 ft. lbs. of torque, I installed about the smallest chip available. It claimed 50 hp and 150 ft. lbs., which it delivered most, so now I have about 285 HP and maybe 600 ft. lbs. of torque, and get 20 mpg HW, 12 towing 11,000# and about 14 - 15 in town. I would not chip a new diesel.
