Chips, programers, V6
Ok I am trying here to see if anyone knows. I finally have some cash to work on my truck, wanted to try to push a bit more out of her. Anyone know of chips, programers, or anything for the 4.2?

They dont make the EDGE for the 4.2s only 4.6 and 5.4.......Troyer and SCT tuners are good

I agree, if you have the cash to drop on custom tuning it is well worth it. I've been running XCAL2\Troyer tunes for the past 4 years, love em!

You are wrong but right in the same fashion.

From Edge: "We do not offer a programmer for the late model 4.2L, but we do support the 97-03 4.2L. If you are interested, give us a call and we'll see what we can do for you."

I've been using Mike Troyer's custom tune delivered via a SCT X3. Completely different truck. It's like night and day. Every once in awhile, I flash my truck back to the stock tune to remind myself just how good I have it.

Check out VMP tuning as well. He does his via Xcal 2&3. I love what Justin did with my truck with just a few email tunes.

Thanks people I am looking at some. I know it might sound weird to tune the 4.2L but I love my truck and want to make it my own. FI10Fires Dude I love your truck, nice wheels it looks, like what I am trying to do with the headlights. I am trying to decide chrome or black wheels, I want to make it aggressive looking.

Derek (dirtyd88) has an 01...theyre all the same engine. The NBS are a tad heavier, but still good from what I hear.
