I would go with the SC1704 version 5.03. I don't feel the Edge is safe enough for the trans.

i think its a toss up between the edge and 1704. ill give my pros and cons of both and see if you agree
now i dont know if the edge redesigns the tranny module to make firmer and better shifts?
1704 +'s: you can set back to factory settings if you have to take it to the dealer (which i most likely will)
negs- :you have to buy gauges and the pillar mount( personally think it looks cooler) to have the same features as the edge juice.
edge juice +'s: everything is inccluded in the package
negs-: price, and that you have a modification installed in your truck (cant hide the box under the hood and alsothe in-cab mount,
)
and as vegas said, it doesnt do much for the tranny.

FINAL QUESTION: i was looking around for boost gauges, and it only specifies the gauge itself. is the tap into the intercooler pipe(im assuming thats the place where you tap?) included, as well as the wire that goes from the gauge to the tap on the pipe?
thanks to everyone who has helped me..

i thank you sincerely PSD FX4...thanks.
im guessing thats the same deal with the pyrometer too. there is an option for the gauge for like $75 and then the "kit" that includes the probe and the wiring for lole $125. is the second a ripoff considering that the guage has the probe too?

The SC1704 can read codes and erase codes. The SC1704 is much more advanced as far as which variables it is able to control or change. The cost of the Sc1704 is $399 - $40 coupon at Motorhaven. You can get a two gauge kit for $245.00 with everything needed. $614 and you have got a great setup.
I have used almost every tuner/module on the market. PM me if you have any specific questions.

I have been looking at the SCT line of stuff from Innovative diesel; I have heard rumors they have *safe* stack tunes for some of the other boxes. Do you have any experience with this?
