The three main ones for custom tuning are DP Tuner, Tony Wildman and PHP. I have a DP and have been more than happy with it. Jody and Diane Tipton are, IMO, great people with unsurpassed customer support.
Threw me off Jim when I seen my response from back when, anyways, X2 what Jim said, Jody and Diane(DP Tuner) are great people, period, love my DP also..

The DP Tuner is a L O T better than the Superchip tuner IMHO. My truck would throw codes during hard acceleration with the Superchip in tow performance and performance mode. Plus my EGT's were higher than I liked when towing our TT with the superchip. After adding the DP Tuner I get no more code and MUCH better performance plus my EGT's are lower when towing.
If you go with a DP Tuner you won't be dissatisfied. Call Jody at DP and tell him what you want to do with your truck and he will make some suggestions. You can then decide what is right for you.
Good luck,

Hi,
I am thinking about getting a tuner from Jody as well. I am a little new to the tuners. I see on his website that the Sct X3 Power Flash 3015 states this "comes with the SCT standard tunes and can be custom tuned with up to 3 custom tunes". Ok, how does this work? Are you limited to only 3 tunes? I assume you purchase the SCT tuner and can pick which "custom" tunes you would like to be installed, but this is saying you can only do 3. Someone please clear up my confusion, THANKS.

The device can only store 3 tunes at a time, however, you can get more then 3 tunes. You just have to delete one or more to make room for the others.

What do you guys reccommend?
Your sig says you are already DP tuned ???

Current issue of Diesel Power magazine does a comparison between DP and three other tuners comparing horsepower and torque and gives a few sentences on each.

Dp-Tuner in my 1996 crewcab is awesome! I have 9 tunes stock, 60hp tow, exh brake, 80hp tow, hi idle, hi idle warmup, 80hp E, 120hp race, and 140hp aggresive!!!!

Can't wait to get my new injectors (stage 1s or 2s?) to get MORE performance!!!!

Easy install, looks nice on my dash, between my light switch and my fuel tank switch

I tow a 29ft fifth wheel, Im intercooled and my egt's went down and my speed and ease of tow went up!!!!
THANKS Jody
