Default Which chip are you running on your duramax?

Just wondering which chip you guys with duramaxes. I'm pretty sure I'll be getting the juice 125 hp box. I keep hearing that 125 hp is about the limit for the stock transmission. I think the 125 hp chip is like +300 torque, but I could be wrong. I've already got a exhaust and intake ordered for the big dmax.

Yah, the juice and the quadzilla seem to be the two that everyone seems to like. I was kinda leaning toward the juice though because that new attitude monitor is really cool and you can monitor EGT with it.

The Edge or Quad boxes that plug in via that CAN-bus underhood... both will make the converter/trans slip in 4th and 5th.

+100hp/+200tq makes that trans slip in those two gears. Quick fixes are a Suncoast converter, C2 clutch pack rebuild, and a TransGo shift kit. Those will get you much more power to the wheels.

A lot of people I sell to want the Superchips tuner (cheaper and easier to sell). I have also had some interest in the Edge since the attitude came about. Seems like I haven't got a hold of the right person yet because everyone around here is scared of the price on the Edge.

i've heard horror stories about superchips tuners before, but i've also heard they make good power if you get one that doesn't obliterate your PCM

I didn't know that. I thought just the juice had it. I need to read up more I guess.

Yeah I think you will be really impressed with that Quad stuff too.

On another note, why not just install an EGT gauge and get a less expensive box? I have seen used Edge boxes for like $550 on ebay...

People in my area have had good luck with the Superchips product. I don't know what you tow, but throw a pyrometer in it and set it at the mid setting. One of my companies customers has had problems with a box in a d-max, if my memory serves me correct it was a Quad.
