Bully Dog which one

The best Bully Products for the 6.0L are either the Power Pup 41561 or the Triple Dog 40500. The 41561 will go up to 155hp additional at the rear wheels, but is application specific. The Triple Dog 40500 goes up to 115hp, can be switched to either the Duramax or Cummins should ever have a brain fart and trade to another brand. Both downloaders are internet upgradeable to handle all the flashes. Takes about 15 minutes to install and about 5 minutes to return to stock. Go to www.BullyDog.com for more info.

as much as i like the idea of "shift on the fly" modules and systems......my main question with them is the tranny.........I know people have stated on here that they change HP programs on a moments notice and have not seen any ill effects on their tranny....but they were not towing, they were at the track.
Others may say the same thing and they were towing.......but with these trannys adaptive learning strategy and other considerations, I personally would not use it as a way to be able to tow different loads. Honestely, i have towed over the limit of my truck on the ECON setting of my old predator *(which i dont use anymore) but was very careful with rpms and speed (at the time i had no guages).....but would i do it everyday? Absolutely not......these are good trucks with good engines but u have to treat them with care
My idea for you would be to find a tune with the best towing program (AKA most power within EGT limits, etc) and stick with that unless u know u wont be towing for awhile and then put in the crazy high HP tune for runnin around in.
Its better to be safe than sorry, these trannies are expensive let alone the engines.

The Bully Dog Triple Dog Combo with the Outlook Monitor is a full function shift on the fly system. Because you actual change programs on the fly instead of adjusting power levels within a program, it would fit your requirements exactly. Several of the site sponsors sell these at great prices. The only real mechanical part of the install is the Pyro Probe install. It's nice to have a trained dealer do that if you aren't that mechanically inclined. The new dealer locator can help find a local dealer. The Tri Before You Buy free horsepower uses the tow/economy setting program for the trial. The TS5X has some good features but both the people who I talked to had problems when the AP1.HEX part number flash was done by Ford. Bully Dog has already made the solution for that flash available to both Triple Dog and Power Pup customers via an internet update. I think DPP (sponsor) is a dealer for Bully Dog.

The part number for the Outlook Monitor is the same for the Power Pup and the stand alone, which I think you have now. So you are making a good choice from a $$ standpoint. I run the Power Pup on my '04 6.0L and there are some Camaros and Firebirds who are probably looking to trade for 250SD's after tangling with me....LOL
