I have a PHP chip on my truck and I LOVE IT! Best thing about bying from PHP is their customer service is top notch. I have the F.U. chip package, but Bill's tunes would be good any way you get them, I think.

I just went with the F-5, I don't need the programable options the F-6 offers, if I was running some big mods then it would be worth it, but for a mostly stock truck that will stay mostly stock I don't need it

I went with PHP and like it. But I've never had any of the others either.

Got a 3-pos F-5 from Jody at DP Tuner. Fantastic service, quality, performance, and price. The eco-setting gives me a little more pep when driving around town, and about 22 mpg on the highway (empty bed and no trailer). The 100hp performance code is extremely handy when I need to get on the highway, or if I feel the need to smoke out the dude sitting in the Miata next to me at the stop light None of the codes have over-temped my EGT's, I'm extremely satisfied with Jody's product, and am considering upgrading to the F6, taking into account plans for further modifications.
