Need programmer/chip for 6.0L
I've got a 2004 F-350 6.0L with a 8 inch lift and 38 inch tires and I've got a edge chip in my truck right now but its giving me too many problems. I'm looking to buy a newer, better chip. Would a sct or hypertech programmer be a better choice?

SCT

talk to Matt @ Gearheads for his SRL tune. Love it in my truck. It's for non-studded trucks. Mostly trans tuning with a few motor tweaks

My truck doesn't have stud's done but its got 200,000 km on it and haven't had a problem with it yet. I want a better chip that's not so hard on my tranny.
