Apparently the diesel tuners are more...

The PPE was over 800 bucks, the Diablo was almost 600 bucks and the Edge tuner was 850....

I was told by an Edge rep that it should produce the same results except since I got the race version, it will produce even more HP/TQ (180/385) I think.

Mark I am starting to hate you with jealousy!!! I can only imagine how much fun that beast is to drive!!

Yesterday I drove to ride the 4 wheelers. My trailer weighs almost 2K pounds, my UTV weighs 1300, another UTV (smaller one and another atv) Roughly a little over 4000 pounds.

Point is, I changed the programmer to "towing" and was running 85 to 90 the entire way. The truck never once left overdrive going up hills.

Unfortunately at those speeds with that load and going up hills, I only averaged 11 mpg.

Mark, what fun that big diesel must be! It's too bad that Hummer didn't stay around long enough for AMG to offer a diesel H2 - I think it would have been a big seller. A good friend has one of the new Chevy HDs with the diesel and allison, he tows a lot of horses in trailers and absolutely loves the diesel. Before he had a Ford HDF250 and averaged 6 mpg on his long tows, now he averages 13 with the same trailer and load. He also went through 2 transmissions on his Ford F250 because of all the shifting it kept doing in the hilly areas going back and forth from Missouri to Lexington, KY.
