If you want it fast. Walk into an Autozone and you should be able to get one.
If you want for less then ordering online should save some cash.
If you want pre-programmed I think you can get it here

The SG2, is plug-n-play.
But, YOU have to enter a number of special X-codes to be able to read the unique sensors to the 6.0 PSD.

It's easy, and there are several youtube videos for those that need it.

I don't plan to keep my surface pro2, or smartphone sitting there as I drive so the SG2 is ideal for 90+% of the time.
Then having a Bluetooth to ODB2 adapter and one of the smartphone/PC applications to look when needed is something you can add later.

In a few places.
BLADE35 has a good list and some of the others also have a copy.
You can also look on the SGII site with that link I gave. You want
to look for the Ford 6.0 about half way down this page
Ford/Lincoln/Mercury Specific : Linear Logic : Home of the ScanGauge
You will find a bunch. Just do a search on the FOrums for the SGII
Xgauge programming and you should find it.

Check reading again. Is it 12.0 volts? ??? There's three FICM gauges, logic power= 12/14 v, main power= 47/48.5 v, vehicle power =12/14 v
