Programmers are a waste of time an money and is harsh on your trans. Every programmer out will work on any 99-03 PSD and some will work on 94.5-03 PSD. There is no way to build a average tune for at least six different PCM codes that could be healthy for your truck
In my opinion getting a programmer for you truck is like going buy one size fit all pants.

Oh so you meant the flash programmer vs a chip. Would you recommend the DP with the Aggressive tune and Economy?

Yes the "programmers" are more likely to kill you PCM and trans before a custom tuned chip will
I never had a DP but I've had a PHP and I went with BTS and love em. Like said before call them and let them help you pick tunes that will suit you for what you do with the truck.

I would personally avoid DP tuner, but that is no secret...

lets not start this again.
there is no reason for every tuner thread getting closed because you can't stop beating a dead horse.

I understand the allure of black smoke but, the way I see it, as long as I know I am getting great power to the ground, I dont need the black smoke to show everyone! Have you seen that Banks diesel dragsters that blows absolutely no smoke? It's quite a sight!
