Which Chip Module is best for me?

I have now put around 1000 miles on my first Diesel truck and just finished a 500 mile RV trip towing 10k lbs. I am getting ~18.5mpg unloaded, and 11.5mpg towing 10k. Love That Cummins Diesel

My question is which chip module would be best (value & performance) for my truck, doing the following;

Towing 10klb RV 10k miles per year (all over USA)

and Drive unloaded another 10k per year

Looking for best MPG improvement, and improved towing power that does not blow my 47RE Tranny.

See my sig below, 2002 Ram2500, Banks Exhaust, 3.55 gears, 47RE auto tranny stock, Tranny temp & Fuel gauges.

Ones I have heard about are Edge Easy, Granatelli big G mileage miser, and the Superchips microtuner. Would appreciate any feedback from current users.

Thanks, Bill

If you're looking for just a programmer I'd recommend the Smarty above all others. Plent of bottom end power. A cheaper route may be an Edge EZ to get you a little added power.

Thanks for the feedback. I bought a EDGE EZ on Ebay for $209 from a guy that traded in his 2002. Works fine!

Thanks again, Bill
