Thanks guys, have you seen the you tube videos of the guy in Georgia, power stroke help.com? he suggests the SCT tuner, what do you think of that one? I don't mean to sound dumb, but I need to keep it simple.lol

Stay away from k and n. They are know to dust turbos You can get a 6637 setup for a whole lot cheaper. For tunes most use a ts style chip and get costume tunes burned on it. For in cab gauge to read what the pcm can see and pull codes, a scan gauge is a good option. But the you will need others like trany and egt as the pcm does not read those. Stay away from the power stroke help guy.

agreed. K&N filters you are buying a name only. the filter is inferior. i think the stock filter is actually better than a K&N filter.
SCT is for the 6.0 engine.
for the 7.3 i would recomend a DP tuner.
and don't bother with powerstroke help dot com dude.
bill sells his business with a whole lot of BS that is not needed.

Well, I get my Edge Insight tomorrow so I will let you know. Madpogue and an Edge rep assured me this is how it reads trans temp, so I am thinking it is correct. The only external sensors needed with the Edge anything is an EGT probe. I hope this is all true as well.
