Get Efi live from someone on here like rob at atp, BoBo, duramax tuner or korry willis, Normaly a auto cal with 5 tunes is like 600 bucks or so, its alot better for your truck then a canned tuner like a ppe or edge, and about the same price. You can also change tunes on the fly and get what ever tunes you want just about.
Anyway welcome to df im sure more people will pitch in and help

Defiantly EFI live dude. Plenty of vendors on here can hook you up with it. Post up a thread in the vendor jungle and they get you set up. Pretuned ECM is probably the cheapest way, then like the autocal that ATP offers, or you could go all out and get your own v2.

IMO the autocal would be the best way to go.
Oh and welcome to the forum!

Buy my edge so I can justify buying efi live... Come to think of it that's probably the worst sales pitch I've ever heard...

How is the aftermarket company gong to know? EFIlive is internal programming, no external tuning devices are required...except a switch for DSP5 only.
Also, if the trans isn't built up, don't waste your time getting crazy on tunes...

Even better, just get an Edge Insight CS or CTS and use that to switch.

If you have a warranty issue, just flash the ECM to stock and unplug the Edge and no one's the wiser.
