I just got my new Summit Racing catalog and they are showing a new listing for the Power Programmer for the 02-03 Dodge Cummins Diesel! I had one of these on my 95 trans-am and it had some great features. You can program for different size tires or gears, alter your shift points and shift firmness, and a few other things in addition to it giving you more power. It doesn't tell you, however, how much hp/tq you gain by using the programmer.
I'm a little leary of the listing since the 02 and 03 are very different. I sent an e-mail to Hypertech to verify that the listing is correct but they are closed till Jan 5.

Was looking at that myself on HyperTech's web site, but from what I could tell it was for the 02-03 5.9L gas engine (that their 360ci?). Sure made me do a double take though.

Let us know if HyperTech says differently. Not a lot of horsepower, like 40 to 60, but the other features their programmers can perform are well worth the money.

I GOT THAT SAME CATALOG A FEW WEEKS AGO AND CALLED HYPERTECH,BUT ALL I GOT WAS BAD NEWS.THEY DO NOT CURRENTLY OFFER ANYTHING FOR THE 3RD GENS, "MAYBE THIS SUMMER" THEY TOLD ME. SUMMIT MADE A MISTAKE IN THEIR CATALOG.

Oh well, it would have been nice..... They make them for the Duramax's and Powerstrokes! I guess the Dodge diesel is a little more complicated..

I used a HPP3 on my '98 Chevy C1500 gasser. And I wasn't impressed. I didn't see any performance gains other than the fuel gauge moving towards empty quicker. The only useful feature is changing the tranny computer programming for faster shifts.
Personally I would stick with the big name boxes for the Cummins.

I never really saw any performance increase in my TA either but when I changed my gears and tires I needed to get the speedo right. Now, the HPPs for the diesel trucks are actually giving lots of power similar to the EZ....

Just got an E-mail from Hypertech.

They do not offer any programmers for CTDs yet. They are close to having one for the 98.5-02s but nothing at all for the 03s. It's figures though, anything for Dodge is always a pain in the butt to get when Fords and Chevys have an almost unlimited supply of aftermarket things.....

I'll still stick with my Dodge!

I have replaced more Hypertech Powerstroke programmers with quality tuners and chips than any other performance mod. I would not walk across the room to throw one in the trash. That is only my opinion I'm sure some sing the praises of Hypertech, but I have seen much better products for the same or less $$$.
