There are only 2 that are recomended for a 6.0 get a sct with custom tunes from innovative (my choise) or the Spartan tunner with there custom tunes written. If you get the sct stay away from the livewire there are issues with it. Stay away from the off the self tunners they tend to cause problems with these trucks. For gauges yes obd gauges are accurate. You can go with an edge insight or some individual ones.

try innovative diesel or first coast performance diesel. both can be found easily with a google search. I'd recommend custom tunes.

As far as I know the issues have not been resolved. The issues are with the screen. It dosen't work right on half of them. I don't know all the facts on it, but know you have a 50 50 chance of getting one that works the way it is supposed to. It still works to programe the truck, just dosen't work well as a gauge.
canucklehead, I got my airbags at a local shop in town. I love them. They work great for pulling my 5er around.
I recomend getting the SCT from innovativediesel.com You can buy it with the custom tunes. Eric is the one that writes them, and he has some awesome tunes.

Nope--still not resolved. You're better off buying a flash tuner (Xcal 2 or 3) and buying an Edge insight or Dash Daq (nice piece) and paying a little more money IMHO. At least with the DD you can use it on any vehicle with OBDII/Can and it reads a ridiculosly LARGE amount of information.
