5 star tuning with the SCT X3. Read through the sticky at the top of the page that says mike/5 star

+2 on 5 Star. Not only did the tuner make a night and day difference, but Mike's customer service is second to none. He is 3 time zones ahead of me and still answered emails almost immediately. I am very happy with his service.

Yes, mine is 1999 6.8l 5 speed manual. I replaced my ball joints and shocks shortly after I bought the truck. Made it much nicer to drive.

Don't waste your money on a cold air intake or throttle body. A better idea with spending the money after a regear or 5 star tune is looks or maybe a tranny shift kit

Another vote for the 5 Star from Mike.

But I think you have the 4R100 trans, do your truck a huge favor and get the 6.0 trans cooler for it if you tow or carry anything with weight.

I see this 5 star tune postings, Haven't seen many on a 2009-2010 , What are general cost? This is my first gas engine in a long time. Been rolling the 7.3 with PHP tunes.
Would only want tunes for towing/ economy.
