I am looking at this.
Hypertech Max Energy ECON Power Programmer
Any thoughts? Good buy or not.

 

I havn't heard anything on here about any hypertech parts. But they talk about them a lot on the power block.
I don't know how well it would work with the PSD.
The consensus around here is DP or TW.

 

For that price, you mine as well just get a TW chip burned for you.

 

I really just need the code reader function.

 

If you just need the code reader function, might try looking into a code reader from your local parts store.

 

I have not been able to find one for this truck that is just code reader.

 

I think I mentioned this in your other thread but I still say this will be one of your best options.
Terminator Engineering

 

i have the superchips i figured that the boost in preformance plus code reading would be worth it, although i like it i will be going to a tw in the future. and you get the code in numarical format you still have to decode

tjbeggsYes you did, I am keeping that in mind. The web page is kinda confusing.
Do you know which part # you have? The way the text is lined up it doesn't really show what is on single gauge vs double. And you mentioned the buzz test for 30$, what is that?

 

I have a single gauge. The double gauge is for if you want to watch 4 items at one time. Otherwise you get to watch 2 data lines (ex. ICP, IPR% etc) at a time.

The buzz test is to test your IDM, wiring and injector solenoids. and the Contribution test is a cylinder balance test. it will tell you if you have a miss which cylinder is missing. For $30 you get both test abilities added to the gauge. It is well worth it since just having one of those test done at a shop one time will cost twice that.

 

What is sparking my purchase of this is also the mpg if it is accurate.

 

mpg reading doesn't work on the OBS trucks

 

Ok. You have been a great help. Thanks!!

 

You can find a reader for OBD I on jcwhitney, but for the money and the bump in mpg a programer i think is best.
