Help!!! other page not much help!

Hey guys, I know this is not the right page for the expeditions, but I asked this question twice on their section and didnt get much help. You guys are always great here so I thought I'd give it a shot. I have a 2010 expedition EL with the 5.4. I want to know whats a good tuner for it for better mileage. they suggested the sct, but what about edge and flashpaq???? Help please!!!!!

I have an 07 F150 with the 5.4 and I did the edge evolution programmer.... I just use it for the tow setting and the trans setting. Honestly no MPG gains. Its basicly just a really nice way to set your tranny shift points, and monitor your drive-train states. However Ive heard Gryphon tunes for it can be alot more beneficial.

No your obs requires you physically put a chip into your computer. You cant just plug into your data link on your OBDII and start adjusting like your 5.4.

Avoid the bully dog and edge for your PSD. Our trucks dont always respond well to having the pcm flashed. The general consensus is the TS chips are the best option for the 7.3.

I'm not sure if you are talking about the 5.4 or the psd now, but I had a diablo in my 5.4 and liked it a lot. I did that and electric fans and there was a significant performance increase. Plus, if you were easy on it you could get 18-20 mpg's regularly.
