yes, guages are a great start point and as for the 100k on the truck you should be fine I would go with a tuner instead of a chip you get more options with them than just putting a chip that for the most part just dumps more fuel into the motor some will raise line pressure in the trans. I have also noticed with these generic one chip fits all deals that the injection timing on them can be off and you get a crackling effect from the engine working against itself I like my custom program done at a diesel performance shop no more crackling by the way I have went through every chip and tuner on the market.

Sounds like whoever programmed your previous chips didn't select the correct tune. I've done thousands without a problem.

well I still own a diablo chip, banks chip, and a tuner they all work ok but if a guy wants to get into the higher power and torque settings a custom programmer still works best looking for a little boost like 65hp or so chips are great go a little higher and a tuner is nice but when you get into 130 plus and some other mods a custom program makes me feel more comfortable.

I sold those chips. Return rate on 100+ was way too high and they didn't like it when I said it wasn't God's gift to chips. We even had people call with problems after we dropped the line. 'Nuff said.

Again, sounds like whoever programmed your previous chips didn't tune them properly.
