Performance tuners?

Which performance tuner do you guys like? Do you like the Edge, SCT, or the Banks Sixgun?

BTW: Do you guys see my sig?

The 01 I recently bought came with a 70 (I'm guessing)HP Western Diesel hard chip that worked ok, but transmission shifting was still mushy. I got (aquired for free) a Superchips 70/90/110 tuner and immediately installed the 70 HP tune. The shifting is better, and the EGTs don't rise so quickly. Even on the 110 HP setting (where it stays now), the transmission feels good and the truck runs great.

Wanna buy a WD chip??? J/K

BTW, nope, can't see your signature.

Yeah I see your sig. So what, looks like a stock truck. You need to worry about more important things before a tuner: like intake, exhaust, and then gauges. After that, then get the tuner. You may already have that but your sig only shows stuff you have on a stock truck. You build a foundation 1st and then add the power so you can handle and monitor it before doing damage.

Yes you did join the site. What Charlie is referring to is becoming a FTE supporter for $ 15.99

As a supporter your sig moves to the bottom of your posts. In addition, you get rid of some, but not all, of the advertising banners.

Anybody can move their cursor over the word "signature" in the upper right hand corner of your post and your sig will pop up.

Hope this helps.

David1990,

Depends on your use and what engine you have a 7.3 or a 6.0. We stock them all give us a call and we'll help you with questions and find out how you use the truck and what is best for your needs etc. We would reccomend gauges too with any tuners to make sure you keep EGT's in check etc.

Except for Mozilla Firefox users. For whatever reason the sigs don't pop-up. IE users and I think Ken said Opera users shouldn't have a problem.

It was not meant to be harsh. Folks go and buy new trucks and things and want to start adding power adders without knowledge. I am trying to give a LITTLE info to help keep him from possible damage to a great truck. I think it is Asinine to fill out your sig with everything. Like PW, PDL, CD player, power seats and on and on. But that is just me and my opinion. No one uses the search anymore. I am not using this thread as an example but how many times has the "what tires fits" or "how big of a tire will fit of a stock rim" been asked.

Listen, we allready know what gages, intake, and exhaust we are going to get. I have not put them I my sig because we have not PUT THEM ON THE TRUCK YET. When we put those things on the truck they will be in my sig.

Well, I've found recently that search is VERY often down, server too busy or some such.

You could probably reduce all these frequently asked questions if you put together a FAQ with all the questions (and answers) you are tired of answering over and over.

Then folks could read the FAQ, and not have to search, reducing bandwidth, repeat postings, and no longer bothering you.

It could be a win win win ..........
