I've run a Diablo chip and a DP tuner chip on my PMR's for over 55K miles so far and still running strong. My PSD has not been in the stock tune since 22K miles. I usually run in the 80 hp econo-tune.
I've only flipped the 100 hp on for those rare occasions.

i just came back from doing some errands... i got on it while getting on the highway...! 28lbs of boost..! egts were just under 1200... and the truck took off like a bullet..! i'm using the 85hp tune on the predator, and guess what... no ses light and no codes..! does the wicked wheel reduce the exhaust backpressure somehow...? i used to get that code when i would run any boost over 26lbs... anyway... this mule runs soooo much better now than when i bought it...!

How about the smoke? If none, you may want to try the 100hp tune now!

Sure would like to get rid of the speed limiter. Funny thing though, all the trucks I've raced also have the speed limiter, so we both can't pull away from each other unless there is a hill, and then I do pull away.
