Best mods for 2006 K3500 dually?
A friend of mine just bought a 2006 K3500 dually. He really wants to chip it, and asked me my opinion on the best power mods for his new rig.
What would your recommendation be, in order of 'bang for the buck'? The truck will mostly be used for personal driving, but will also tow trailers and landscape equipment like skidsteers, attachments, etc.

I've just begun testing on LBZ mods. I've had good results from the Diablo, Superchips, and Edge products so far for off the shelf stuff. Pretty generic stuff, but they do what they do well.

When can we expect a LBZ custom tune from JK?

I asked him what his baseline run was, but never saw a reply. He must be very busy having fun with the new toy, with the weather like it is right now what else can you do? Well........... don't answer that.
Opps, just saw the reply John, yeah I can understand too busy, just kind of wondering if the total difference was as much as it was when the first LB7's were introduced or are they stating RWHP figures now at GM. I'll wait, I know you will let all of us who wish we could have an LBZ know what you find out.
