Diablo Tuner

Ok, well, i bought the Diablp Tuner a couple months ago and ive been VERY pleased with it. If i were to do it again, i would go flip chip, but thats besides the point. I now see that Diablo has upgraded their programer with a few more features. Does any one know if i would be able to send my unit in and have them upgrade it? Or am i stuck with the old (relatively speaking) programer?

Yes, you may return it for the full program upgrade. I plan to call and get an RGA # for mine and send it in. I believe they will do it free of charge. I understand the new programs are designed with lower EGT's in mind. Hope so. Mine are too high for my comfort.

f350 - why would you go with a flip chip instead of the programmer?

with a flip chip, you can change the program on the fly. I would like that because i often haul trailers above and below the 8000# limit that diablo set for their middle program.
