I used it on my '01 5.9 4x4. I should have done it a lot sooner. The truck really runs a lot better. I choose the Hypertech because it was a lot cheaper, and I had no need of the additional features the Superchips had - raising red line, adjusting for tire size.
I tried out both the 89 and the 91 tune. The 89 tune made a huge differance in performance and driveability. fuel mileage was slightly improved, if I wasn't too hard on the throttle.
But at the 91 tune it knocked and pinged on premium fuel, and economy took a nose dive. If there was a performance improvement over the 89 tune, I couldn't feel it.
When towing in the summertime, I had to be carefull with the throttle or it would ping. So I used a 180* thermostat and a bottle of water wetter and that stopped.
