Going to buy a sct but idk which one if you guys will help that would be great and also any tune suggestion my truck will have exhaust and egr block off thanks guys

 

Call Matt at Gearhead Performance.. He will take care of you..

Get an SCTX3

SRL+ tune (make sure you tell him your motor is non studded)
8K tow
unlinited tow

Good luck

 

The top two tuners out there are Eric at Innovative Diesel, and Matt at Gearhead. You couldn't go wrong with either one. Get the SCT X3 as mentioned above, and if you don't have a monitor already I recommend the Edge Insight CS or CTS.

Matt's Tunes:
SRL(non-studded trucks) - Very good power and smooth shifting of the transmission.
8K Tow file - self explanatory doesn't add much in the way of fueling or boost over stock.
Unlimited Tow file - Tunes for engine braking and tranmission only, no additional fuel is added into the engine with this tune.

Eric's:
X-Street - would be pushing it in my opinion with stock bolts.
Street - good power, and I have seen a 10% mpg gain running this file as my DD. Towing cap is around 8K.
Tow - a little more fueling (around 325RWHP) but no limit to weight as long as you're watching things.

Just make sure you tell either tuner you're on stock bolts with the EGR block and you should be fine. (No Tune is 100% safe under stock head bolts, even factory tuning can cause failures.)

 

i am also looking into which sct tuner to invest in. i also have exhaust done and egr delete but wen i bought my truck the guy i bought it from told me my headbolts had been redone buy ford because of a recall. i was looking at the live wire because it shows u all ur paremeters the only reason i didnt like the X3 is because it wireless and i wasnt sure if it shows parameters. any advice!!

 

i like my SCT TSX. some may say the price is steep but its a tuner and its a monitor in one.

and as for the tunes...i have matts tunes and love them. havnt used the unlimited tow yet. but the SRL is awsome!

 

the livewire shows all your temps and pressures that your trucks computer watches. the tsx does as well. the differance between the 2 is that the tsx is wireless and touchscreen. about the same size as a gps unit. with the tsx being wireless, you have a dongle whitch plugs into the obdII port and uses bluetooth to comunicate to the monitor which runs off a rechargable batt or you can leave it pluged into a 12v plug.

 

what is a way to contact matt to inquire about a sct tuner
