My 2 cents worth . . .
R U getting it from a local tuner or the factory? If you go to www.dynojoe.com his come with it for the $379 price. It is the latest factory tunes w/ his custom additions.
Some of the others charge additional $ ($100 to $300 I'm told) for thier custom tunes but will include the std factory tunes for the price of the unit. It is the custom tunes that cost additional money.
Also if you get the aggresive tow you need to tell them to include the "jake brake feature", if you want it, in the program. Also if you want the EGR valve turned off in any or all the tunes you need to tell them that as well.
Get er dun & have fun!

I have the same truck as you, and I have: Aggressive tow, Street, and Xtreme race. I bought mine from Eric at Innovative diesel. Xtreme tune cost me 100 bucks, and Lonewolftx is right, get the turbo brake feature included.

Does the turbo brake work all the time when that tune is programed? How much difference is the extreme street then the extreme race? Do you have any tranny upgrades?

I plan on ordering it from Eric at innovative diesel. I want something that i can drive daily such as the extreme street and something that i can lower to tow and help with economy. I might get the xteme race but i fear blowing up something.
Thanks for all your help.

This might sound like the flip side of the coin to most of you running tuners, but is there an "extreme economy" tune or should I be happy with the 17-18 MPG I get now with stock everything? I have a Fluidamper and Power Elbow coming, both of which are supposed to give a little more MPG but mostly I wanted them for reliability and longevity, not hot rod performance.
