Newb needs some help picking tuner and deletes

So I bought my truck last Spring. Got it with about 30k miles. It's a 2008 6.4 crew cab and I am the second owner. Someone once told me it was a job 2 from the vin. I want to do the deletes and tuner to make it more reliable. I don't care to make it a fast truck. Just a dependable one for years to come.

I've researched in the past about tuners and narrowed it down to the Mini Maxx. Here is where I get lost. I know the EPA shut down the race tuners but I see you can still find some. Can a street tuner be turned into a race one with an unlock code? Not sure how this works so looking for more info.

As far as deletes I know I need to do the DPF for sure. I've seen some kits like this one that comes with egr delete too. http://www.ebay.com/itm/H-S-MINI-MA...R-DEF-DELETE-5-FLO-PRO-SINISTER-/221648577555

I have no idea what brands of delete kits are good ones. I don't want to buy some crap kit with ****ty welds that will fail later. Any recommendations would be very welcome.

hit me up, I stock EVERYTHING (including legit minimaxx)you could possibly need and everything made right here in America. no cheap stuff involved.

just know, in the ebay link you provided, the minimaxx is a pirated version and you will get NO support from hs with that unit . pm me for more info on the topic .

Talk to him^^^! I have his intake and full egr delete. Great products! Better quality than any other brands!

Another thumbs up for Mike and his stuff. He is a great dude and will get you anything you could need or ask for.

Thanks for the feedback fellas.

I may also go with a SCT Livewire TS and Gearhead tunes instead of the H&S. I don't need on the fly tune switching. SCT route would be money saved and I am familiar with SCT from my mustang days.

H&s mini maxx race tuner hands down.. Motostroker has one for sale $1500 completely unlocked brand new.

Stick with bigrpower. He will get you everything you need for good prices. Great to deal with

livewire with gearhead tunes.

Thanks for all the help fellas....especially you, Mike. I'm stoked and can't wait to get the parts!

I would have liked to get a Mini Maxx but it didn't make sense for me personally. I can get what I need with the Livewire, have monitoring of EGT and etc and save a lot of $$$. I'm just going to flash a tune on the truck and leave it be. So I don't need on the fly tune switching. Just want a dependable and strong truck. I won't be racing the truck because I have a fast car for my speed needs.

UPDATE!

Parts are on. Just running the Gearhead's "street" tune. I'll probably just leave it on that all the time. I should be good to tow my car and boat on that tune if I watch the EGTs. Might put the "hot street" on it once and awhile.

On the street tune it lights the tires at 35-40 mph. LOL. Not used to having to pedal my truck :rockon:

Wifey said "Whoa!!!"

My son said "I'm not sure this truck is safe anymore. Can you stop and let me out? I can just walk back to the house." BHAHAHAHAHA!
