There is a ton of good information on these trucks in the Tech Folder. Also check out the following post:

You will find that most people highly recommend that you keep the OEM air intake and that you do not use generic power tuners such as the ones listed in your post. These modifications have a proven track record of causing problems for the 6.0 PSD.

Take the truck to ford and have them re flash it that should get rid of the bully dog. You need to get either a sct or Spartan phalnx with custome tunes for the 6.0. I don't think you can even get a dp for the 6.0.

Yes i see that I love dp tuner. How good will a 6o run with a sct. With the bully dog in extreme the clutch would totally slip in 4 th 5th and 6th gear 2nd and 3rd would jus smoke tires from a like 2000 rpm and matting it. I was very impressed as my 7.3 doent run near that good

DP does tuning for the 6.0, they just use the SCT to deliver the tunes.

Stock intake and no tuners that say shift on the fly for these trucks. Shift on the fly and properly tuning a 6.0 is mutually exclusive. Custom tunes all the way.
