Default hypertech question

so i got a programmer for cheap. i just want it to check codes. i do some towing to and from the sand dunes and nothing big but alot of hills. will this help me or should i just use it to check codes? i know it is about worthless but i dont have another vehicle to use and send the ecm for a tune so this was what i did. all help is appreciated.

It isn't going to help much besides the codes. Any of the mail order guys will send you a pcm, then you send yours back as a core after, so there is no down time. Or better yet get a live street tune, im up north in mn so there is not alot of guys doing it up here but texas seems to have quite a few.
