I'm not sure what you are asking, but it would probably work better to post the question in the Duramax forum rather than the event forum.

Welcome to the Forums!

I, too, don't understand what you are asking.

In any case, it appears you will be better served in the 2500HD/3500 Accessories Forum (http://forum.thedieselpage.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=forum;f=5).

I'm moving it to there.

I have an '01 Dually and tow a 9500 lb 5ver. I have a Banks kit which includes Otto Mind (Tuner), Big Head wastegate, Guages and a 4" exhaust. This kit was one of Bank's early entries into the the Duramax realm and as such it is not adjustable...in other words it has only 1 setting of 70 hp & approx 140 ft lbs of torque programmed into the box (Banks has new stuff out called the Six Gun). I find the kit I have to be perfect for the towing I do and a little extra around town. Since then many vendors have come out with adjustable tuners having multiple HP levels from 50 up to 200hp at the turn of a knob. But whatever one you choose you will most likely have to run at the lowest setting while towing or hauling heavy to avoid damage to the trans. Anyways, gettin' back to you, if you are more specific what you want to do with your truck and what you expect from it, the advice will flow freely. And, as a matter of fact your next issue will be figuring out which of all the options to choose from :D . Oh, and Welcome to the Forum.

Hey hauler how's it going? I was just in E-ville yesterday and will be down there more this week. Did you hear anything about our carpenter that got killed under the bridge deck on Diamond Ave? It was a real bad deal. CSX dropped the ball on us hard by not stopping the train traffic.
