I'd think long and hard about it since the 6.0's (of which I had two) are known to up the risk of issues unless you do other work....

But if you decide to do it.... SCT all the way

Is your truck stock now, no large tires, no heavy towing, etc.. ?

I did tune ALL our vehicles before the current ones, but just haven't felt the need with the new 'factory tuned' engines they do the job as is....

if so, you could get a mild tune to enjoy, but it will never pay for itself in mpg savings, and may cost if it lifts the heads or trashes the egt cooler, etc....

Click to go to either the Excursion or 6.0 forum for lot's of reading -
or post your question down there for more engine specific info...

they love to talk tuning as did I before the 2013's good luck !
