I'm leaning more towards Gearhead since I don't have studs.

We carry SCT programmers and our Infinity monitor/programmer. Both of which will hold custom tunes. You can check out all of our 6.0L tuning options available HERE.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

SCT with custom tunes is the way to go

Bully Dog and 6.0 don't mix!

DO NOT buy a Bully Dog. Get an SCT and go with Matt's tunes at Gearhead.

I had an SCT with custome tunes in my 6.0L and I never had one issue. Awesome programs too...the Hybrid he built was freakin badass. It may be the same Matt Geouge? (sp)...but its been a while. I belueve it was Spartan that built mine. Id have to look for sure. At the time there was some sort of partnership split, but the remaining partner was awesome. While everyone else was blowin 6.0L's up, I was bookin with no issues. My next truck will have his tunes 100% sure.
