Check into Green Diesel Engineering. Not a tuner per say, but you can buy different tunes from them. Either send them your ECM or and they can sell you a flash tool so you can switch between the tunes they offer.

I have the ECO tune, and am happy with it. I think it improved my fuel mileage by 5-10%. Real advantage was that it reduces/eliminates the EGR input.

You will probably get more responses if you post this on the CRD portion of the forum (viewforum.php?f=5) That said I strongly suspect the response you get will largely be don't waste your money or stress your engine by installing a cheater chip. I know a few folks have used chips but which ones I don't know. I think most members, certainly including me, are of the opinion that if you want a CRD tune you need to go with a comprehensive ECU reprogramming like GDE'S (http://www.greendieselengineering.com/g ... ethod=home) which is what I have and think highly of. I know Inmotion (http://www.inmotionusa.com/jeepgraphs.html) also provides an ECU program that some members use but I don't know anything about that product.

X3 I wouldn't get a cheater chip that just falsifies the readings to the ECU. A total ECU programming is the way to go.

Agreed, my Italian cheater chip lasted about three weeks and 150 miles before blowing up on the open road....fortunately not damaging anything else in the process. :shock:
