When I started in the 6.0 life style the first thing I did was get gauges and spent the next week or so reading the tech folder. Theirs a ton of info In the tech folder that I had no clue about.

To start I would get rid of the bully dog tuner if you want to save your transmission. They are hard on the transmissions because they only tune the engine. As stated gauges, regular maintenance with oem filters and keep an eye on your health of the batteries and alternator.

I'm pretty sure the old power pup and triple dog tuners re- programmed the tranny also.
