CHIP/PROGRAMER Which one?
I am going to get a chip for my SD (see sig) between the SCT & the Predator which one would you get and why?
My truck is mostly just for pleasure but I will tow a Bobcat/Excavator occasionally around town.

Based on what I have learned here at FTE, I would have to lean towards the SCT flash device.
From what I have read and heard from friends, the Predator is good, but would give more check engine lights. Also the tranny shift firmness was harsh...and not always constant.
The SCT...I have heard nothing but good remarks. Three different tune settings: Better fuel economy mode; Towing mode; and HIGH HP mode.
Hope this helps some...

Also, will the SCT recalibrate my speedo as I have 33" tires and I am over about 2 mph.

the nice part of sct is that it stores your factory flash in the devise along with your vin number. so any time you wish, you can return it to stock. not like a few others . as far as warrenty there are consumer laws on your side even though many dealers are super bad news about some mods we do to our rides.
as far as warrenty work i just reflash to stock a few days before i go in and have not had any problems so far, but then i have a great dealer owner and his super great service manager that i deal with directly.
the sct flash for ford has proven the best all around for the ford cars and trucks that we use . even though we do use the others when a customer makes such a requast.
please do not get super chips and sct mixed up they are 2 different companys with almost like names .
