The newer trucks use flash memory, I would suggest a custom tune from one of the sponsors or someone local. Youll be much happier than getting a handheld programmer.

Stop and read the stickys at the top of the section, this one and the tuning section. Please read and familiarize yourself with the site.

Our trucks are not 'chipped', Custom tuning, Mail order tuning can be had by contacting one of the sponsors to the right --------->
