December 17, 200915 yr Anyone have input on power chips for the cummins 5.9?I have input, but first I need to know what you use the truck for. Are you looking for BIG power or just some extra oomph with added MPGs? What has been done to the truck and what do you have planned? Sorry for answering with questions, it just that there is so many options out there and every one of them is the perfect fit for someone and still the wrong one for someone else. Kenny 352-636-0812
December 17, 200915 yr Author Hey Kenny, I've got an '05 2500 Dodge quad cab long bed w/ auto trans. Looking for a little umph ubt most importantly...better fuel mileage. Don't want to punch it out so to speak as to risk damage or have to spend more money on add ons. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Richard.

Do you want a power adder that has built-in gauges that also has built in safety features, or do think you would rather watch the gauges your self. Also.. -Do you use the truck for towing? How much and how often? -Do you plan on doing and exhaust kit? -Do you plan on doing an air intake? You can give me a call if you want to talk about it over the phone. Thanks, Kenny 352-636-0812
December 17, 200915 yr Add gauges before any power mod. Most folks do EGT, boost, and lift pump fuel pressure. With an auto tranny, most do trans temp. I've got the Smarty Revo SO6 and it's the proverbial "cats rear end"!!!!!!
December 18, 200915 yr Owner Dorkweed has been chasing my MPG mark for awhile now and doing quite good hitting 19-20 or so most of the time... I remember back when he started with a Edge Juice and switch to the Smarty...
December 18, 200915 yr Some say the bully dog power pup is a great product for power and great mileage potential. I have never tried one myself I run the smarty jr and it adds great power but personally the milage gains have been minimal over stock.
December 18, 200915 yr power is nice with the smarty. There are lots of good options. you may even find someone with a used one for cheap.
