I just did the UVCH on my friends truck,idled very rough,like on two or three cylinders,didn't have power to get out of its own way,turned out,the UVCH had worked loose,I did the .50 mod and fixed it,very doubtful it would be injectors causing this issue.

****have some answers***
Ok.....picked the truck up Tuesday, 1,500 dollars, 2 injectors, 2 uvch's and she is up and runnin. Truck runs great but first thing in morning one of the injectors is miss-firing. I talked to the mechanic and he explained to do the test that checks the injector the motor has to be warm, when the motor warms up the injector runs perfect. So therefore I can just deal with it till it gets worse or I can replace the other 6 injectors .... Thank y'all for all the help so far and what do y'all think about the mystery miss-firing injector?...

Custom tuners blow the pants off any of the off the shelf programmers like Edge, SuperChips, ect.
Look at Power Hungry Performance, Total Diesel Performance, DpTuner, Beans, to name a few. They write tunes for your trucks with any mods you have made. I do not suggest running any programmer or tuner without gauges, EGT and trans temp (if auto trans) at a minimum.

I have been looking at the dp tuner, and I have installed a triple gauge cluster. Trans, boost, and pyro. My problem is I'm trying to find a tuner that will do multiple trucks at once. Does anyone know of one that will? If not, I guess I am gonna go with the dp tuner. Also, why do you suggest customs tuners are so much better?

Superchips and the like VIN lock to your truck so they only work on one truck at a time. I don't know of any that will do multiple trucks.
Generic tunes that come on off the shelf programmers are writen to work with stock trucks. Custom tunes are writen for the upgrades you have done to YOUR trucks. Tuners also invest more time in writeing better tunes. My truck for example runs better in my economy tune than it did with the superchips performance program.

I don't know of any programmer that will let you do more than one truck at once...and understandably so. The manufacturer doesn't want to sell something that you could buy and program multiple vehicles with...heck, someone could go and start charging people to program their trucks on the side.
But as mentioned...don't go with a programmer. Chip it. HDRider named the top folks, and you won't go wrong with any of them.

I would go with a dp tuner if I was you. However, to answer your question about multiple trucks, I'm not sure about the other off the shelfers but my superchips programmer can tune other trucks. For 100 dollars you can add a truck to be programmed, and for another hundred dollars you can program two trucks. Three trucks is the maximum however. I've never done it but know for a fact you can. When you log in to your account to upgrade your tunes it has a little store where you can buy additional things for your tuner, the option to tune more then one vehicle is in there.

Thank yall for the quick responses. I have learned more in the short time I've been a part of this forum than I have ever learned anywhere else. ....mods so for on my truck, 5" from turbo back, true "cold air intake" a-pillar triple cluster , boost, trans and pyro. And 22.5 semi wheels But I'm pretty sure the owner before me had a programmer on it and its still on it now.. how can I check to know for sure. It's way faster than my other 7.3 and they are on 250's
