    Cool ecm program reccomendations?

    Could you suggest any ecm tuners. Are you suggesting to just have all the rest of the glow plugs replaced? Thanks again for responding.

    Regards, hps

    On the ECM programming I have been doing my own thing for quite some time now. We can do everything in one without "band aids" like the generic stuff needs.

    As for glow plugs it's a tough call, but I see guys doing one or two at a time until they have most or all of them replaced so doing all would not be a bad idea.

    "I have been doing my own thing for quite some time now"

    Can you explain? Is it better to have a legit person program your ecm? or purchasing your own tuner? or buy another ecm and just swap out a programmed ecm's? how do I know what is the best program for my diving and fuel economy? I am not looking to spin the tires nor race with it. " Fuel economy and power for towing?

    Again thank you for your input. By the way, I saw you bio, " How ironic" I was originally from just south of Baraboo on the Wisconsin River. "Sauk City" Been living south since early 60's.

    HPS, Kennedy is absolutely someone you can trust to get you the tune your vehicle needs. He's never steared me wrong. As far as the glow plugs, this has been the warmest winter on record so I look at it this way. The money you save on fuel with JK's tune can go for new glow plugs next fall. Fuel prices aren't going down anytime soon.
