I'm also considering the Jet programmer for a 99 f250 5.4l...interested in thoughts on Jet products.

I was looking at one of the plug-in modules, # 80629. I believe using this type won't leave any foot print in the comp. like programmers do. That way "Uncle Henry" can't see anything if I have warranty work done! Had problems with a 6.0 PSD & Ford wouldn't fix engine & I DID remove the programmer before it went to the shop!

Very good point, it may be since these non-chipped programmers store the modified programs in the stock ecu, they are detectable. I know ford didn't detect my diablo chip when switched to stock mode...

They DID mine cause the only way I could get it out was to clear the truck comp. I think I had a Hyper-Tech.

First off custom tuners are probably your best bang for you buck versus just about anything that I've seen on the market that's off the shelf tuning.
With regard to the 6.0, there are a lot of little things that they can do to spot a tuner. It's a common misperception that returning the vehicle to stock will keep Pappa Ford from seeing that you were running something on the truck. Even with the in-line fuel modules there are still other tall tail signs that one of those were used.
I personally wouldn't do anything on a late model vehicle that wasn't custom to my specific vehicle with regard to tuning. Getting off the shelf tuning is really settling for at best mediocre tuning at the sacrifice of engine parts.
