Tuner???

I have an 04 Super Duty 6.0 with an isspro tripple gauge kit from Diesel Manor. I put a Pyro, boost and trans temp gauge in it and i love the gauges. I also put an MBRP turbo back stainless exhauset on it and i love it and how it sounds.

My warranty just expired and I hit 70K on the way to work this morning. Im still paying on the truck and i dont want to blow it up but i want a tuner. I dont need to have 200 HP ALL THE time but i want something i can feel a big differance with. Maybe something with multiple tunes with a fuel saver mode and a towing mode and a plowing mode.

Dont get me wrong i want to push a serious cloud of black smoke when the time is right but i dont want to kill my truck.

Any ideas or suggestions??

Thank you for your help,

Bob

Call Innovative Diesel. They will hook you up with an SCT X3 that will do all you want it to do.

Whats the price tag on it look like? Does it work with the transmission to prevent it from exploding?

Its the best thing for the transmission as far as tuners go. Innovative will write custom tunes specifically for your truck, not just a one size fits all "canned" tuner. I bought mine a year and a half ago from another vendor and i think it was like $425 for the tuner and 3 tunes.

Matt @ Spartan wrote his tunes and applied them to your truck through the SCT products. They cant do tunes through SCT anymore because SCT saw them as competition with their new Phalanx tuners for the 6.4L. They will soon have one available for the 6.0L's too.
