My uncle just got a 6.0 auto F-350. He came from a '99 F-250 stroke. He is looking for a tuner that tunes through the OBD port (not a chip) and can be taken out when he wants to. Specifically he is wanting better than the 13mpg he is getting now and wants to get rid of the slow response on take off. If it were a 7.3 I'd know what to tell him (see sig) but I'm not "boned-up" on the 6.0. Thanks in advance for the help! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

WOW,
Thanks for the help guys! (48 views and ZERO replies.) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif I told him not to buy a 6.0. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Guess I'll go back to the 7.3 side. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

I have run a QUAD module on an '04 and and '06, currently using an SCT on the '06. Either one will work great, the QUAD will need to be driven so the tranny will learn to shift with the new power.

If its only getting 13, then something else is definately wrong, and the tuner may just mask the problem. It'd help to more about the truck (450 w/ 4.30 rear? ? ?). The SCT is probably the best for throttle response.

I just installed an SCT from Innovative Diesel and so far all is well. Mileage is solidly up (this is on the Xtreme Street tune).

With that truck 13 is definitly something WRONG. You should be able to see 18 @ 70 unloaded easily. You need to get that fixed before tuning - tuning might help with the throttle response, but something else is wrong if its only getting 13 (unless thats towing).
With my truck, I can get 13 towing 6k @ 62 easily, and up to 14.5 if I can get out on the flats.

I have had an 03,04,05, 2-06's and a 07. I have tried a few different tunes and boxes, but with out a question call Eric and Ted at Innovative diesel...410-620-3020 I have a tow tune which I tow 8k and more. I use the the xtreme street as my daily driver. Perfect, enough power, tows easily 8k easily, egts are in check, shifts great, and still turns a 14.3-4 when needed. Tried it twice and thats what I got in my 07 dooley. The race tune is just that, strictly for me at the track, turns 14.01.on a hot day. Good Luck Jeff

Have to agree. I have an 04 F350 Crew 4x4 longbox that gets 19 empty if I keep it at 67mph highway.

Not to hijack the posters thread, but my '06 CC Dualie 4x4 4.10 has never seen 16mpg, ever. I just ordered a Quadzilla ZXT module for it. Should be here next week. I hope to see a mileage increase as well.

That's alot of metal to be shoving around, and with the 4.10's its gonna tow nice, but economy will suffer. He's got a 2wd w/ 3.73. There's no reason that truck shouldn't see 17+ and up to 20. 13 is just not right, unless thats towing.

If he wants that style programmer then you'll have to listen to the other posters. I'd say juice Platinum otherwise. Could go Edge Evolution. The only bad news for you is whatever your uncle gets he will smoke you! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Meant to add, I chose to go with a module while it's still under warranty instead of a programmer or chip that will leave a code on your computer.
