Diesel truck - tuner / program?

[brutal]

My 03 had the LS and had 3.73 gears.

That's odd. My 98 (2500 gas NV4500) and my 04.5 (CTD 5.9HO 48RE)both had LS and the only factory option to get LS was 4.10 gears.

Perhaps it was a later model year AUTO thing? Was your 03 a stick?

Nope came from the factory with a 47re which was later swapped for the 48re.

I used a die grinder and finished with 400 grit sandpaper... But my truck is a bit more old school

I would say if you can pick a Smarty up cheap give it a try but don't do it with mpg gains in mind. Like I said you may gain 1 or 2 if your lucky but it does make the truck more "drivable" in my opinion. My truck seems much snappier on the low end now which makes it easier to drive around town.
Again you need gauges on top of that so extra expense. EGT gauge/probe is a must and also something to watch rail pressure etc. That's why I went with the CTS, covers all of them in one package.

ok, since my smart-ass answer early this year I've bought a 2007.5 6.7L for my wife... and it needs deletes after she towed horse trailer up to Holyoke over the weekend.

Anyone recommend someone that does EFILive tunes? I'd like to have my own autocal for datalogging if needed. I would also be looking for a delete pipe- but I'll make my own EGR setup (I've got a mill in my garage).

I've been wanting to delete my '14 and do EFILIVE but hard to do with only 20k miles. I still might but my warranty should be up in little over a year. When I do decide to do it, I've read nothing but great stuff about Higher Power Performance and their customer service is top notch!

My Edge Juice is acting weird - locking up more than usual. Damn thing is 10 years old

Edge will give me 40% off on trade. Looking at just getting the new Edge Juice CS for $497 with trade... CTS is nice, but I would need so much more stuff - mount, new probe, etc. and the CS really does all that I need.

Good chance I have all the wiring/probes you need sitting around nib for cheap. If you decide to go to the CTS just shoot me text and I'll dig around.

I'll keep that in mind, but really, I'm finding it hard to justify the extra $150 (plus mount, etc.) for the CTS. I already have an in-dash DVD setup with backup camera (on the RV) and I don't really need the extra bells and whistles like tilt angle for a truck that doesn't really do much offroad, or all the extra gauge configs. The CS would be plug and play with my current pillar pod, etc.

I just want that little extra power and with it locking up on hard pulls, I'm also a bit concerned it's properly defueling if/as needed. I do not need a $15k motor swap right now.

I considered the CTS Evo with another box like smarty, but only the Edge gives me on-the-fly in cab changes.

Are you looking to have the EFI done local? The only reason I ask is I think a lot of folks on the cummins forum go through Anarchy (I think thats right) to get EFI tuning but it's not local so they send you the stuff.

I would love to do a turbo back on my 5.9 but we have stupid emissions testing here in El Paso county.

On a side note, my F'n ball joints just went south on mine. Not looking forward to changing them this weekend. Not going to be a fun job.
