Which Scanner/tuner

G'day guys, bringing in a second F250 7.3. I have a Hypertech Hyperpac on the current truck, which is good in so far as I get codes and a generic 1st and second stage tune plus I can see what the sensors are reporting while I'm driving. Just after thoughts,opinions and experiences on what people have. I know the best way to go with a tune is custom, but watching pennies at the moment and will address that down the line.

Cheers

About $5 for Android or Apple.
This OBD link for Android that uses bluetooth-

Amazon

There is one for Apple that uses wifi.

Instructions for all of the above: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...the-cheap.html

PHP Hydra for a chip. Can be purchased from Gearhead and you'll still have access to: FREE library of tunes from Power Hungry Performance.

Then, when you can afford them, switch to Gearhead tunes. After your initial purchase of tunes, all revisions to those tunes are free as you upgrade your truck regardless of where you purchase your component upgrades.

I may have access to a barely used edge evolution cs2. A friend may be willing to sell, as I installed a hydra on his truck after a zf6 swap. We have been considering using it just for gauges, but may sell it. I would have to verify it isnt vin locked or anything
