I didn't think that it would be worth it either but then I found a guy selling a DSP for $275, which got me to thinking about it again. All the additional options are what keeps drawing me back to the DSP.

I have an 03. What are the adverse affects of this surgery? Is it safe? My truck has 23k miles on it if that helps...

I see in your sig that you have the predator 91 tune on your truck. How does it run for you? I have been thinking about getting a DSP but I have been reading a thread on DT where a bunch of guys have had their trans fried by the DSP canned tunes. Even guys like me with 04's where the DSP doesn't have trans control have been having problems.
I've actually been following 2 threads on 2 different forums about Dodge Hemi Truck trannies being fried by Diablo tuners and another Hemi LX forum where engines are frying at an alarming rate with the same tuner installed. NOT GOOD!!!

Can you post links? I'd like to read up on what's happening and avoid the problem if possible.

Not good at all. There are A LOT of pissed off DSP owners out there right now.

Here is the one that I have been following. Just replace the astrics with d.o.d.g.e.t.a.l.k without the periods. Sorry but can't get around the censors any other way.

They guys who have done it RAVE about how good it is. If you want some instructions on how to do it let me know. I got them on my computer.

Read further, there are about 6-8 other guys with the same problem and they are not running any serious power adders.
