    I found this on Amazon and went to the site to see if it was compatible with 2016. It does not specifically say. Also I know there are some programmers like Bully Dog. Has anyone tried using either of these?

    Here is the link to the performance chip

    No. I'd never do a programmer on my truck. I'd spend money on mods like suspension armor etc. The little to no gains seen by the programmer are not worth it. They only time you need to tune a motor is with forced induction. If you want real performance gains have a turbo kit fabed for your truck.

    I have one and the truck feels like it has 50 more horsepower. Go for it! The Bully Dog

    You must not have programmed it correctly, mine doubled my horsepower.
