Programer/Chip
Whats the best chip/programmer for a 2000-2002 7.3 PSD? Not pushing this truck hard (maybe pulling 3000 lbs. boat if I ever get the time). Don't want to go so extreem that I need to watch EGRs if I don't want to. Looking for better mpg and of course a few more ponies. Oh yeah, its a auto if that makes a differance.

Like aklim said, get you some good gauges first. This will allow you to monitor your progess. Sometimes, just tighting a few loose clamps will give you some extra ponies. Oh yeah, my next investment will be a DP tuner.

Boost gauge help me diagnose what I thought was EBPV engaging when it wasn't. I could not go over 15 psi and I heard a hissing sound similar to the EBPV going off in the winter. Since it was cold then, I thought it was the EBPV going but when the boost would not go past 15 psi, well, we knew something was wrong since I have made 24 momentarily before the engine defueled.

Those are commonly called the "CAC Tubes". I fairly regularly put a screwdriver on them to make sure they're tight. When I first got my truck, I had the standard oil on the top & back of the engine -- CCV mod and tightening all the CAC tube clamps cleaned it up...
