Chip for 01 7.3 PSD

My brother has a 01 PSD super crew 4x4 and would like to put a chip or tuner in it , He pulls a 30ft. 5th wheel camper and also a 5th wheel alum. 20ft cattle trailer.
My question is what would be the best upgrades for that truck? to chip it it will probably need other upgades (exhaust, intake ) but I don't know what .
? one Chip or tuner
? two what other upgrades needed


Thanks Tedd

From: Enjoying the real world.
No modifications are needed to user a chip or tuner. The cream of the crop is the Predator, followed by the Superchips Microtuner: www.motorhaven.com

An EGT gauge is recommended when towing with a chip or tuner.

The best upgrades, in order: tuner with EGT gauge, exhaust with downpipe, intake kit.

Check out the numerous posts I've made in this section concerning diesel, they go into detail.
