Hello, Ive seen a few adds for plug and play chips that say they work with your ECM without changing it. Boast 60 hp and 7 mpg increase and will not void warranty.
I know nothing about this kind of stuff, any info would be great. Thank you

I own a bridge in New York that I will sell you for real cheap.....
There are hand-held units that you simply plug into the diagnostic port under the dash, upload the program and Voila!, 60hp. The 7 mpg is a lie! Some folks have claimed .5-1.5 mpg but anything much over that I would be very skeptical.
There are also software packages that you can buy to load to your laptop and create your own ECM programs called "tunes". The software allows you to adjust fuel pressure, pulse width, etc. to customize it to your particular needs....it ain't that easy and it's not cheap.
With both of these types of upgrades 60hp is on the low end of what is possible. Some tuners can load upwards of 200+ hp and 100s of ft lbs of torque to your truck. Go out to Google and type in Duramax Tuners and start your research. Good luck.
