I second what the last poster said. Eric advised me on what tunes I needed for my 06 F350 that I pull a camper with. He gave me the info I needed to make a good decision and their product (SCT X3) is easy to use and works great.
Definitely call Eric or check out their website:

thanks for the advice
My friend has a 2004 F-350 6.0L with the SCT but I'm looking for one that has real time data display like the bully dog or banks but I haven't found one cheaper than $400

I would go with the SCT X3. I have a Diablo Predator for my V10 and no one around that I can find can do custom tunes so I'm just using the canned tunes which I really don't like.
SCT and Diablo are the two biggest brands for gas motors. Diesel, no clue.

having had both a predator and an sct...
true 100 hp for the canned diablo tunes were not bad at all (for hp).... (verified on the dyno for my 03 Ex)
some say not so good for cylinder pressures and all....
no comparison to an sct custom tune with tc locking and 40 more hp
if diesel though, I'd suggest u do SCT xCal....
u could even can buy an unlocked old xCal2 and get custom tunes for < $100 that will make your truck fly (safely!)
good luck !

Now their are people with 7.3s and even gas engines, that have had great success wtih tuners such as those, but you cannot logically apply what works with other engines to what works with the 6.0.
If you have to have an OBD-II monitor, I would get ones that do not have tunes attached to them unless they offer custom tunes.
And that they allow for expansion of other sensors beside the EGT that aren't supported thru the truck's computer.
The two that I would recommend that have custom tuning with them is SCT's TSX or the Spartan Phalanx, they are both priced pretty close together. I know you can expand the sensors for the Phalanx, I don't know about the TSX.

i have a 07 psd f250, i run a superchips tuner, which i have enjoyed. i am considering trying out a sct x3, but i have a question about it. is the x3 a obd? the reason i ask is i have enjoyed being able to turn off the check engine light, and read codes with my superchip tuner. the other thing i like about the x3 is you can turn off the egr in my psd.
thanks and good luck...

the sct x2 and x3 flash from the obd2 port. and shift on the fly is junk. to tune a 6.0 and also tune the tranny you have to shut the truck off and load the data to the tcm and pcm. all the shift on the fly tuners do is fool the computer not tune it. reguardless what tuner you look at custom tunes are the way to go.
