I know there are some diesel truck buffs on this forum. What is the best chip/tuner/programmer for a 2005 5.9L cummins?
I know nothing about chips. Dont want something that is gonna prematurely wear out the drive-train. Just looking for something for a tad more power to maintain speed on some grades without the transmission wanting to hunt for gears. Truck is currently bone stock, And weighs 8k, towing the gooseneck and tractor. Depending on how tractor is equipped, a range of 12.5k to 14k load behind the truck.
Better fuel economy would be a plus to. But dont know the science behind how these programmers work. Alot claim more power AND better mileage. But dont more power require MORE fuel?
