You can get more power and improved MPG on those trucks fairly easily. You might blow it to pieces though if you don't do it right.

what i mean is you might can get more power but if you use the power more, you arent going to save gas.

I have had mine on a duramax for almost 100k miles with no problems whatsoever.
That is nothing surprising considering it isnt a ford or dodge.

I have a tuner, ram air, and rrmoved all the dpf shite and installed new exhaust. Much more power and efficiency. Close to 4 more mpgs.

the DPF and EGR are like pulling an anchor behind your truck.

remove the anchor and you can realize both the increased power and the increased fuel savings.

I just need to know what the MOI is with a programmer, as opposed to without

I am basically repeating what everybody else has said:

Gas motor: minimal gain but useful for switching tire sizes and tow tunes. ~$500

Diesel motor: done right, lots of hp and tq. ~$500-1,000
