what is the best chip or progammer for a 99 power stroke best bang for the buck? yet safe and reliable that wont tear ur a tranny? mine has a jasper rebiut in it...
Well from the reading I have done most go with DP Tuner (also our forum sponsor). I cant give you the best right now I have a "not-so-superchips " tuner until Friday that is. I am getting my DP tuner on friday from Clay at Riff Raff. I know there is also Tony Wildman and one other the is escaping me at the moment. Someone will be along shortly with alot better info then mine.
Whatever chip you end up with I would make sure you have at the very least Gauges (boost, Pyro and trans temp if an automatic), 4 in turbo back exhaust, and some sort of Intake be it a 6637 or AFE stage 2 (I have this one). From what I have heard these tuners are nothing like a hypertec or superchips tuner they will blow you away from what I have seen in posts here and you will end up with some disease called "permagrin" it doesnt sound all that bad to me. Anyway that is what I know.
Oh, so you're the one getting the DP tuner!!! very sweet! Well I have a Super Chip in mine and haven't had anything else. I bought the truck with a Super Chip and since I've never had a truck like this before I can't give you much information but from all my reading everyone seems to love the DP Tuner.
Hey Clay, just out of curiosity is it possible to get a DP tuner with selectable settings like....
-Performance Towing
-Normal
-Economy
-Silent Running
-Vehicle Disabled
The purpose of vehicle disabled is so when you park it in a place unknown or known for thefts you can disable the vehicle without an alarm system.
I personally think it's pretty sweet

Yep. DP Tuner comes with a no start and stock setting, then you can buy various tow tunes, a decel tune, hi perf tunes, economy tunes, high idle tunes, a drive thru tune (which quiets it some but often puffs stinky white smoke), dyno pull tunes, valet (speed limited) etc. All switch on the fly.
We may be out of town this weekend, but if not swing by (or I can head that way) and I'll show you what it's all about I have 1200 high idle, 60 tow, 80 eco, 100 perf, 120 race, 140 aggressive, and drive thru.
you can get a PHP Phoenix 6 position chip with 6 tunes of your choice for $369 and save some dough over a DP chip. definitely equal and in my opinion better than a DP chip as far as experience of the tuner and quality of tunes Power Hungry Performance - Feed your hunger for POWER!

That said, you will be happy with a tuner from any of the tuners commonly mentioned on this site
