Go to www.ATSDIESEL.com They have everything you could ever want. The Xcelerater gives you 204rwhp and 350+rwft/lbs just with a chip. It is sick stuff. Talk to Mike and tell him Hunter Sent you. He will hook u up.

Just bought a 05 4500 Top Kick with a duramax , is this LLY a new verison of the Duramax? I am planning on hopping it up. Also will now have a 03 F350 Super Duty 4x4, 4 dr, 8400 miles loaded for sale if anyone is interested.

I made it easy and went with Hypertech. It has three different power levels and the top one will smoke the tires, so I went to the lowest and it still rocks. No other mods needed, just plug it in follow the prompts and then go. $375

Unless you like your truck in running form and not burned to the ground. In that case, I strongly suggest, at the very minimum, a pyrometer, and not to just watch how hot you can get it, but as a tool to know when to let off. :cool:

Re: Best Chip/Upgrades for Duramax
 

for the guys running the programmers I would highly recommend a boost and pyrometer gauge installed, You would be amazed at what the temps climb like when towing and a turbo bark is very nasty!

Cobra, the lly is the newest version of the duramax, believe it changed in 2004.5 the old ones are the lb7 check out www.dieselplace.com has its own section on them type of rigs.

Thanks for all the information. After looking at all the websites and doing a bit more research, I ordered everything through PMT in Florida. They were extremely knowledgeable about what works and what doesn't. I decided on the Banks 6-Gun with Speed loader since it seems from everyone I talked to that the Edge still has a few problems for the LLY engine (Hands down it is the favorite for the LB7). I also ordered an air box, guages, and dual exhaust. I was planning on doing the full exhaust and removing the cat, but both Connecticut and New York are becoming even stricter on emmissions, so I figured I better leave it alone.

Edge with Attitude is what seems the fashion here;
