Welcome to the club!

I guess as far as them being worth it, that depends a lot on who's using it. I had a Hypertech Hyperpac on my last truck, and I felt it was well worth the $500 I paid for it. I corrected for my re-gearing, my speedometer was able to be corrected AND the live monitoring was one of my favorite options of that particular unit. I never actually tuned the truck too much, but all of the other options made it well worth my while. I am currently looking at getting the new Diablosport Trinity for my new truck, because of it's similarity to the Hypertech one I had. The only downfall is it's $799, BUT it comes with the capability of 5 custom tunes so I think it's worth it.

That sucks! I hate buying things for my truck that don't turn out ot be what I wanted. Are you able to return it? Do you know if the programmers void any warranties?

I'm almost positive it voids the warranty, but you can take it off before you take it in for servicing.

Hi everyone. New to this trying to find answers. What is the superchip? Has anyone tried the Edge, bullydog, to try and get more mileage and power out of the 5.3? I have looked but cannot find a site or magazine that compares them all and evaluates fairly.
I am looking for any and all opinions on the tuners.
thanks
