new programmer for my 00 SD
-
i dont know if anyone else out there has a diesel pickup, but i just purchased a diablosport preditor tuner and holy sht what a difference. im not making any claims that i can beat all of you guys in a race, but its now fast as sht. i used to own a 99 Lightning and i havent driven in one for a while, but this thing feels almost as fast. i have my 00 F350 set on the 100hp setting now and wow. FYI the truck weighs 8500 lbs.
if anyone has a diesel and wants to see and feel a difference, let me know. the diablo only cost me $335. it has 5 different settings; high altitude, 40hp, 60hp, 85hp, and 100hp. shoot me a pm if interested

me and my dad have done alot with diesel performance, just imagin on the 06 dodges with bully dog you can get 230hp from chip on top of the 375hp stock. if you look for more toys let me know,
if you tow on that high off a hp rating you well havge problems like melting your carpet from high exhaust temps, you should get a pyrometer and bigger exhaust
-
thats insane what bully dog is doing with the dodge. my next plans are a wicked wheel and some other minor stuff to help the turbo spool up to higher psi's.
i have an aftermarket air filter and a 4in exhaust.i am looking for some gauges though. if you know where to get some for a good price, let me know.

im not going to tow at the 100hp tune. -
ooo i do, go to Midland Diesel Service and talk to Craig, he know all about that stuff and alot more, they can get tons of stuff, they deal autometer and lots of stuff related to diesel performance, as well as other stuff dealing with performance.
right now im trying to get him to start doing more with gas injectors

yeah my dad has had both bullydog and diablo sport chips in his f350 he's got the 03 6.0 diesal with bullydog and doesn't like it to much, had like a 00 f350 with the 7.3 and diablo and liked it a lot better...

yeah my boss has 04-5 chevy (forget year, but almost new) adn he put the diablo in his. siad it made a world of difference. i have ridden in it a few times at the 80hp setting and it pulled damn good. kinda felt like my car, but alot more tq.
he floored in front of me once on the highway from like 40 or so, and i caught up a lil quicker then i expected. truck felt alot quicker then it actually was

Raider-- well i talked to andy and he was looking to get 375 or so for the same thing. i was just researching and looking around and found it for 335 shipped. i would really have liked to get it from him, but there is no difference in product so i had to save myself the 40+shipping. i have his site bookmarked and i will be getting my other performance products from him in the future.
i dont know much about the cummins, but 500hp and 1000lbft is a ton. whats the cost on a sidewinder kit. 100hp and i think its 220lbft for $335 is cheap.
from what i know, ford releases all their info on their electronic, so the programmers are faster at putting out new programs for them. i think dodge and chevy dont, so they have to break the codes. correct me if im wrong.
camzaro28- ill take you on with the 100hp setting. its insane

No offense here, but I am guessing you may have bought it from someone who has an online store and does not buy directly from diablosport. As a dealer/distributor for diablosport, I am contractually bound to sell that product for no less than the $375 (actually $389.xx). Someone who is sitting around in their underwear at home selling parts from his buddies store is more often than not who those parts come from. I understand saving money- I have to do it all the time. There are alot of real nice websites online made and backed by stupid people. A nice looking website can showcase product and doll everything up, but it doesn't mean the seller is proficient with it and even knows much about it. What people forget about (and I run into this ALOT) is you buy product online and POOF- they are gone months later when you have problems or need them to be there. When this happens, you call the guy that is the 'local' dealer and he has to warranty the product, answer questions, etc. When your CE light comes on under heavy load (pulling a trailer) and you have 4 codes in historical, are they going to know why??? Do they tell you to NOT run the programmer on 100 HP setting all the time (you will be purchasing engine parts- '99 and'00 have forged internals so it may be a little longer). I know tintmasters and SLS run into these problems ALL THE TIME also, so sometimes it better to support the local guys. No, I am not saying you need to pay more for the product just because they're local- but a fair price should be that, a fair price. Like I say, I'm not upset that you purchased from someone else, I'm just stating the side of the story that you may not know/ understand etc. Have fun with the programmer- it's a good piece, and hope to do future business w/ you.

i just want to say thank you to kelly for turning me to andy and his website. i checked it out. i didnt think there was a difference. i havent ruled out andy for future purchases.
