Looking for Advice on a chip

Hello Ford Enthusiasts!

Hello, I am new to these forums so forgive me if I am in the wrong section. I have a F-250 2005 Lariat with almost 150,000 Miles on it. I was wondering of anyone who has a chip on this truck and works great with it. Please any advice is helpful!

I got same year with same miles. I got a SCT tuner on my truck. Had a bullydog but didn't like it. I'm very happy with my SCT livewire.

I tried an Edge Juice with Attitude, took it out and sold it with a massive loss. The loss however is still less than the cost of heads/gaskets or tranny work it would have incurred in the future. I'm lucky.... the dealership covered the head gaskets the first go-around!

Now I have an Edge Insight CTS monitor and plan to buy an SCT from Innovative Diesel with custom tunes (mild so not to blow anything up).

Thanks Sean
Edge Insight CTS because it is a "monitor" only and not a programmer. Get an SCT for the programming.... Edge programmers are not good for a variety of reasons that you can find throughout this forum. The Insight CTS also offers a reverse camera option, which for some has added benefit.
