The Conversation Pit
This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it!

I think a pyrometer should be mandatory on ANY late-model 5.9L Cummins because they ride the ragged edge of meltdown from the factory. 300+ HP of constant duty power from a 360 cubic inch engine is crazy.

Seriously, if your dad doesn't do a whole heck of a lot with it (towing hard for hours at a time), I wouldn't worry about it.

I sell quite a few edge milage max chips. They work great, they add about 35hp and are safe to run without gauges. I see an average of 2 mpg increase with these.

They cost 279.**.

If you decide on something else I can get whatever you want. I sell TST, Edge, Superchips, and any other manufacturer that you could think of.

Thanks

Ty

Guages, guages, guages, guages. Do I need to say more?

Chuckd is correct, anything much past the mileage max you will want gauges.

Other items that help are an intake and exhaust upgrade.

There are a lot of things you can do, it all depends on what your use is.

A "For Sale" sign????
"Will trade for a Powerstroke"



Intake, exhaust and gauges are pretty much standard anytime you add power to a diesel

I've put a few of the new Superchips Flashpaq programmers in 05-07 Cummins trucks and the guys like them really well. Most of them are seeing a pretty good bump in fuel mileage as well as nice power. I really like them alot for a guy who just wants a tuner and nothing else.
