2004 6.0 programmers?

Just got a 2004 6.0 f250. I want a programmer for monitoring fuel pressure and other important items. Its completely stock and dont plan on putting performance tuner on it if anything tune it for gas mileage or towing. I just want to be able to see whats going on internally before something goes wrong. Any suggestions?

Is that the 5015 model and does it monitor fuel pressure and what tune do u run? Remind u its completely stock. Would like to put exaust on it, dont care for it to be loud. I just like to hear the turbo kicking in and out at idle. A little sound is fine just not shaking my cab. What do yall reccomend? I was told it will remove some pressure off the heads. Thats the main reason i want to do it

Yes its the 5015 model. It does monitor the fuel pressure and virtually everything else as well. It allows you to customize the monitor screens.

I run stock exhaust on my Excursion so I can't help you with the exhaust question. It's a family cruiser so loud exhaust and big SUV don't mix for me.

I thought I was going to leave mine stock as well, but once you get the "itch" it won't stay stock long.

That said, plan ahead when looking at anything you buy for the truck, just in case you get that same itch that the rest of us have!!
