OK guys, all I what is to have the same power in my 05 D/A as the 06. Is there a chip out there that will give me that without lifting the heads off the block.:confused:

The Edge with Attitude programmer would work great with your Duramax. I had one in my medium duty kodiak with duramax. It has 5 levels but level one was all I ever needed. It adds 40hp and 100 Ftlb of torque. Corrects a lot of the hunting the transmission will do on some hills also. They run about $800. It also improved our milage by about 1-2 mpg

I had the Edge Juice on my 04 GMC D/A and ran it on level 2 when towing and level one when not. That gave me all the power I ever needed. It didn't have the EGT or Boost readings that the Attitude gives, but it was also less expensive. Couple that with a good air intake and four in exhaust, you can light up the tires. Take a look at this forum: [SIZE=-1]http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/index.php. Some of those guys have dually's turning fantastic 1/4 mile times. Lot's of ideas for making power.[/SIZE]

more power

I purchased the superchips product. I haven't used it yet while towing our 3670rl so I can't vouch for it yet while towing. I can say it did improve the power of the truck when not towing in the performance mode.

Bob,
I too have recently purchased a Superchips tuner off of Ebay. I immediately did an online update from Superchips to aquire any additional updates that this tuner may or may not of had.

I also have been impressed with the performance tune when not pulling my coach. I have tried the tow mode but have only pulled it short distances (15+ miles one way) so I cannot vouch for the perfomance aspect when towing. So far I really like it but as with all cool toys, the more money you spend the better the toys. I would prefer the Edge product but will have to wait. Now that I got a little more power to play with I WANT MORE!!!!!:)

Good luck,

Mark

I have the Edge with the attitude controller on my Duramax. In level 1, it actually improves my mileage by an additional 2 MPG. I have documented this over numerous trips with the edge on and off. On level #2 the power increase is very noticable, mileage remains same as stock. I HIGHLY recommend having EGT guage ( or the attitude monitor) when towing! When the EGT's hit 1350 degrees you need to back off or you run the risk of damage! Level 3-5 is not for towing, but to have a little fun with. The first time you use Level 5 it will soil your shorts and then give you a grin that will take days to wipe off your face.:D
