Weird. I had a programmer on my 2005 gas crew cab because I changed the 323's to 410's for towing and the dealer said nothing when I brought it in for some computer problems. I told them it was programmed and they said they wouldn't have to mess with the programming. Also, Hypertech says they cannot void your warranty because of programming. Maybe I was misled.

Dealers are starting to crack down now with programers especially on diesels. On a diesel a programmer can do a lot more damage then on a gas truck you are lucky to get 20hp out of a programmer on a gas truck and diesel you can get easy another 100-150hp.

One more thing. 2007 was a split year and I do not know how to determine which 07 programmer I need. I do have the newer body style, but I do not know what type of motor I have. I bought it used and have nothing spec wise.

If you have the newer body style? You have the 07.5 with the LMM

Even with the 35" M/T, I would think I can do better. Just looking for a nice blend of performance and mileage w/o breaking the bank. I still have to do the Rhino Liner and a few other things.
The DPF is an emissions device that stops most soot particles from leaving the exhaust system in layman's terms. It is restrictive and creates a lot of heat. The Magnaflow DPF back you have is just jewelry, it doesn't do much if anything to the performance of the truck.

A 4" turbo dp back system from an older body style truck and a Quadzilla Stealth II, PPE Race or Edge EVO Race will waken it up, pick up the mileage and lower EGT's by about 200°.

If you have an specific questions, shoot me a PM, and I would be more than happy to help you out.
