Im not a Banks guy, but my cousin has one on his 07 dmax and likes it. Not sure how they are on the 6.0. If you want power and reliablity get a SCTx3 with custom tunes from innovative diesel or some one else who does tunning. My truck is tuned by truck source diesel. A proper tune for your set up will be much safer on your truck then anything banks, bullydog, or edge put out. Not that they arnt good products, just not for me.

IMO properly done custom tunes are much safer. It wont have al the built in safety such as defueling points and all that. But thats driver responsability anyway.

If you buy the tuner from someone like Innovative Diesel, Elite Diesel or GOGO Diesel they will provide custom tuning with the device cost.

I depends. Most are included in the cost of the programmer. The place where i got mine was only 20 bucks more and its lifetime free retuning whenever you add more goodies.
