| Which programmer
I'm looking to get something but I'm not sure that I want to remove the dpf and void the warranty just yet. What is the best tune and tuner for the best hp increase and mpg increase with the dpf? |

| PPE gets GREAT reviews, allows room for upgrades too!
You also have Edge, Banks, Quadzilla, Diablosport, BullyDog, Jet, SCT, Superchips.... I think thats all of em.

| PPE, hands down a pricey unit that really works well.
I ran the PPE Race w/no DPF and was getting 14mpg pulling my 18k 5er. A really good tuner. Quad is the best bang for the buck.-- cough .. cough .... --- 
I was supposed to get my hands on a Quad to check on my truck but didn't get it. I have drove quad tuners and for the money they are not bad if you want to delete the DPF. EFI is the gold of tuners/software
I am now running EFI and love it but I will say it's not for the general public if you don't want something that is time consuming. It's not as easy to just buy and download you need a lap top and a tuner to get you your tunes that you are looking for. But if you have the time to play with it check out duramaxtuner.com I feel he has made it as simple as it can get for now.

| Nick, what level do you run your PPE on while pulling your 5er, and do you have any tranny mods?

No tranny mod's currently. My 5er is a WW3905 (40') so I have a pretty good wall above my cab

| I hear ya! I pull a 24' enclosed on level 2 and cut it no slack and get around 11 mpg. I want to do the egr blocker and the dpf delete soon, then maybe I can get 14 mpg like you. I'd really love to pull on level 3, but my tranny would hate me.

| I wouldn't say that they are the exact same thing, but they are very similar. I have heard some great reveiws for the ATS they are just not known as well as the PPE as far as tuners go.

| It all really depends what you want to achieve in the end with your mods with tuners. Not everyone has the money to just drop on a package but if you stick to a plan and start buying parts to best complete what you want in the end it will be worth it.
