I am looking to get a ECM upgrade I am leaning towards a xxxxx unit but I have also been looking at the SS Diesel unit I would like to get some opinions on which unit seems to work the best and is the most reliable. I have a 97 Chevy 3500 extended cab dually. Add on's are: Remote pmd cooler #9 resistor, cold air intake , big down pipe and crossover , 4" straight exhaust, marine injectors, hot glow plugs, turbo master boost controler, Boost, EGT, and Trans temp Gauges. We pull a 20 foot enclosed race trailer fully loaded all over the midwest. But I am leaning toward the performance upgrade and I know I will have to keep an eye on the gauges so it will not overheat.
Thanks Jeff

You basically have MY truck. I have been looking at the ECM upgrades from SS as well. Since they are the same cost, I will probably end up going w/ the more radical of the two and just keep my foot out of it. I haven't looked into the brand x chips much.
I don't have the marine injectors yet and only have a cobbled together boost gauge.

Yea I got the3 marine injectors and had some heat issues until I got the new boost controler and now it seems fine once I got it adjusted.
