dunefreak Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Does anyone have anything to say about the different brands of programmers for the LLY Duramax. Do you think some are better or worse. I am gonna program mine soon, probably w/ the Banks 6 gun, but want to hear what everyone thinks about Banks, Edge, or any other brands first. I am also going w/ the Banks exhaust too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Gunz_ Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 (edited) I'm thinking of getting the Edge set up on mine. I already have a Gibson 4" (cat-back) exhaust so I just need to add a little get-up-and-go to the engine. Check out www.thedieselplace.com for more information on D-Max stuff.

rednekoki Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Let me save you guys alot of time and trouble!!!!! GO BANKS 6 GUN W/SPEED LOADER. Ive got a 05 chevy 1 ton with Banks system and it flat hauls a$$!!! And i have improved my fuel milage 2mpg. Empty I can sit and roast the rear duals. The Banks Has 100+ More horses and torque than the edge system. I pull 15,000 Pound 90 on straight stretches and 80 up the hills going to Utah; 65 up the pass going to pahrump.

dunefreak Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 Steve, do you have exhaust done too or just the programmer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 ive heard thru the grapevine that the banks system is a over priced under-powered piece of crap... you just pay for the name and that there are alot of other products that will net you the same results for half the cash..

dunefreak Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 ISBB, I don't know WTF your talkin bout....so far I have seen the Banks 6 gun for the same price or cheaper than the Edge. The name means alot though. Banks knows diesels and they have been around for a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rednekoki Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I have the Bundle Package ( six gun tuner,speed loader, cat back exhaust system). Banks is the only thing I have ever done to any of my trucks that really did what it says it will do. Trust me you WILL NOT be disappointed. If you want to check mine out first ill have matt drive it in so you can test it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't listen to the haters, FORD is a great truck but the 6.0 just sucks big monkey nuts. Have you bought an air filter yet $100 freakin dollars!!!!!!! I personally would go Duramax or tried/true cummings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveo Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 the 6.0 is just fine. it pulls all my sh*t no problem. It is great on gas and i am sure i will have it for awhile. just have to do some upgrades to put it where it needs to be.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have your back on this SteveO, my 05 6.0 pulls my 7500lb 5thwheel fine, with 16500 miles and no problems. All I did was intake and free flow muffler for better milage and lower EGT's. I went from a 01 2500 silverado 8.1 L Vortec that must have been built on a friday @ just about closing time to the 6.0 PSD and will never go back to the Blowtie....

I love mine. I'm not trying to start a Ford vs Chevy war cause I think Steveo's truck runs good too. I don't see a problem w/ that 6.0. Just never been a Ford guy.

Plus I think Fords styling is better looking and the crew cab (huge) sold me along with the power.. One thing I did like about the chebby was the Allison, Fords version is close but that tranny was awseome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Actually if you measure it the chevy is bigger in the rear.. I took a guy for a drive in a LB CC Duramax and the first thing this guy did was break out his tape measure... he was like its between YOU(gmc salemsan) or the Ford Dealership down the road... tapemeasure said GMC was bigger and walla i sold me a 40k truck.. and made squat on it cuz my finance office ripped my a$$ off... thats a whole other thread...
