i know we got a few guys on here who have played with programming in your big rigs so maybe someone can answer this

My dad has an 06 manaco motorhome with the Cummins 400hp ISL motor. Now his buddy just got a factory update/change or some junk like that on his brand new '13 motorhome that woke his rig up. So now of course that got my dad on the bug about messing with his.

he says there is some german program/tuner that is suppose to be pretty trick for these motors? what would you guys suggest.

thanks dbev, will do

Have you guys ever heard of the Cummins shops putting a different HP tune in the rated motor? so say a 400hp motor has a 425hp tune put in? im reading some have done that if they get a tech with the cummins software that will do it for them. hmmmm
