Gearhead tunes vs PHP tunes ?? your opinions
I recently (3 weeks ago) had my TS chip reburned with Matts tunes (Gearhead),well,not impressed. I chose Matt over PHP because of what I read on here. Already talked to Matt,he thinks my map is going bad,not going to throw parts at a good running truck. Most of the tunes are the same. I had to pull the 28' 5th wheel in the hot tune,neither of the tow tunes wouldn't stay in od. Ran the 1/4 mile in the last three tunes,ran 14.4-14.8. Did cure my shifting issues tho.
What I'm asking is-what are your experiences with Gearhead compared to PHP. That's where I'm going next. If PHP doesn't satisfy I will drop the dough and go DP.

I had DP for 2 years and just moved to Matt's tunes a couple of months ago, very happy with Matt's stuff. My opinion is that Matt's tunes run better in my truck than DP, I am also getting noticeably better mileage with the new chip. The shifting feels better and doesn't bang through the gears like my DP did. His customer service is great, and its really hard to beat lifetime free reburns. Plus no smoke which I love. I can't speak to PHP tunes as I have never had them.

Yeah PHP actually stopped reburns today IIRC, here is a quote from Corey.
To check the MAP sensor you need to view live data from the PCM.
As of June 1, we will be discontinuing chip reburns. We have been blessed with an abundance of business; in an effort to provide our customers with the best possible service before, during, and after a sale, we believe it is necessary to eliminate some of the services and/or products that we currently offer. The link for the Chip Reburn Order Form will be disabled on May 27. All chips that arrive in our office for reburns after May 31 will be returned to the owner at their expense.
Should we discontinue any other products or services, we will provide advance notice to potential customers.
Thank you for understanding that the decisions we make are in the best interest of our customers.

Just put a PHP FU chip in my truck a couple weeks ago. I'm very happy with it! I had a small issue with kind of a strange shift at WOT but Bill is taking care of that for me. Being able to change what tunes are on my chip anytime I want is great also. I've heard great things about Gearhead tunes and believe I would try to work out my issues with them before jumping to somthing else.

I just don't like how it acts. If someone would of told me it acts like a stock truck until ya get into it. I wouldn't of went that option. I didn't add all my aftermarket to drive a stock truck unless I'm railing on it. It's dangerous to pass when its wet out,sideways at 65 is fun for me,but my woman frowns on it. 
Guess I will start saving for a DP.
