Just check the price for the complete Minotaur package on the PHP website. you will get the MDF file for your truck or if there is a better MDF file that will work with your pcm you can get that instead for example my truck is supposed to use the VRAA7y6 binaries but I am running the VRAA6y3 binaries on Bills recommendation that they are better. even if you never do much with tuning seeing and analyzing all the parameters using Minotaur is very interesting and educational...

My grasp on everything is definately tightening. I'm sure I'll end up with Minotaur eventually. Heck, just my family owns 3 7.3's and 1 6 slow. All the 7.3's are between 99.5 and early 01! :woot:

From what I hear, EFI Live is even easier than tuning the 7.3, but I'm not positive.

For example, if you have two DPC-422 trucks and one DPC-421, then you can use the VRAA6 calibration on all of them.

From what I hear, EFI Live is even easier than tuning the 7.3, but I'm not positive.It BETTER be. There are a lot fewer tuning variables for the engine to make it run vs. the 7.3L. However, the transmission tuning is far more complex for the Allison.

I feel like every thread I start should be entitled the same way!:doh:

Thanks for the info Cody. My chip came out of an 02 truck... Is there a pretty broad range of uses for chips? It's been in my truck and my little bro's...

What year is your brother's truck?

Little bro. Mid 99. Mine is an early 01. And the truck it came out of is an 02 with PMR's.
