Have you tried doing a search?

There are tons of tuners that everybody on this forum would recommend...

Tony Wildman, DP, PHP, Beans, Swamps, Tyrant, Gearhead, Elite, DI....

Pick your poison...

You're going to get 20 different opinions about the one tuner they have ever used and how great they are when they have nobody to compare to...

Save yourself some time and call up some of the tuners you are interested in. Talk with them and then choose for yourself who you want to tune your truck...

On this forum you are gonna get a lot of guys who swear by Dp Tuner and PHP... Some others who use Tony Wildman. That's pretty much the general consensus of this forum.

DP tuner uses their own chip and so when you buy their tunes you can't switch tuners later. If you go with PHP or TW or any of the others I posted, you will receive a TS performance 6pos chip with their custom tunes burned on it. This will give you the freedom to switch tuners later and use the same chip. Just have them burn onto that chip.

That's pretty much what you would have found in a search.

Oh also, You probably won't gain much MPG with a chip... So don't have high expectations. And when you order your chip with 140hp tune, don't expect that either with stock injectors you will only get about 60-70rwhp... Get a high idle position if you live in a cold winter climate.

End of summary of 17 pages of chip threads...

For me, TW is in Texas and so am I. When I get mine it's coming from him since I'm also in Texas and then if I ever get the chance I can swing by and hopefully get some live tunes. Maybe there's tuner close to you?

Php tunes I had were great for a great price. Not to aggressive but good power and mileage. For the price and price it is hard to beat. I just switched to try something different.
