Yeah, if you use lower tunes you'll be ok. The diablo has a 45, 65, 85 and 120 hp tune AFAIK. They all have multiples.
Also, programmers can not adjust transmission shift points on the duramax. The TCM is very separate from the ECU, not like the fords/dodges. So, you have to let the trans re-learn the new program before it shifts 100% right.

How pissed would you be to pay 750 retail each injector after the 200,000 expires??

Check out painless performance. They make one called the stryker 1 . I bought it from jegs performance 373.00.
Untraceable. It just plugs in, 5 minutes no tools,no gauges needed. 10 settings from fuel economy to 100hp. Works great for me. you can adjust it on the fly. I have 2000 f-250 7.3. Probably not as good as the high dollar ones but I think it works great. Makes it fun when you need a rush. Very noticeable when set at 100hp.

You could either get EFILive and gauges, or get a programmer that has the gauges built-in. The Edge Juice/Attitude is a great entry-level programmer and has an EGT probe, and all the other gauges you'd need. I had one in my LBZ Duramax.... here's a pic:

The TCM takes a RPM, TPS, and load input from the engine, along with a wheel speed thats all the data it uses.. I'm not an expert, but I do like try and figure out how everything I work on works together, and thats what I remember about the dmax.
Since the TCM (transmission control module) is not part of the ECU (engine control module), any programmer that re-flashes the ECU through the OBD2 port can not have any effect on the TCM.
The only thing I can think of is they do something with a gear reference and loading to get the TCM to do what they want. So its either improperly tricked, or marketing, or I have no idea what I'm talking about. Go to the dieselplace.com before you spend money. They will save you a **** load.

had a sct tuner on my diesel, blew a head gasket, ran the truck back on stock for 200 miles, took it to the dealer and they said it had been tuned, so they voided warranty, The tuners can be detected, fact. cost me 13,000$ to fix, no more tuners here
