I have also read very good things about the Edge products but I drove my friend's 02 Chevy Crew Cab with the duramax the other day, he has the Hypertech programmer, intake, and opened up exhaust and that truck hauls *** pretty good for such a heavy truck. He has 35" tires on the truck and you can smoke them very easily. He said that his truck gets excellent mileage and you could tow a house if you wanted to.

I agree with the others on the Edge w/attitude.. I have dealt with the Banks, Van Aken & Predator... If you are just using 1 go Edge.. If you stack them go Edge + Predator..

Rodney, Trevor runs the Edge in the '05 Duramax and ran it in the old '03 also. It worked great for both around town, and pulling the 48' trailer loaded. He knows more about the features of the diff choices, and it may be better to just give him a call since he drives it everywhere.
It seems a little more pricey, but it seems to have many more available features that the other programmers don't have.
