as far as hand held duramax tuners go, the quadzilla seems to be quite popular. I use the juice in my truck , but it isn't really a hand held style programmer.

A warning to those thinking about Programming their Duramax. I know of atleast 4 Duramax's that will not run correctly now that they have the programming installed with the programs removed and resetting it to factory specs they won't start and run at all with the program in they run but bog down and are very sluggish when you get on it. Heard about this through the mechanics the dealership where I work and have heard it from others as well. I would not use a programer on a duramax we are not sure whether the problem is the program itself or the duramax computer not taking it correctly.
