Default 2005 6.0

this is not my truck, i have been looking around and it seems like everybody that has it loves it. but the only thing he didn't like was not being able to shift on the fly like the edge has and does not back off when tranny slips. the only thing he is worry about is hurting the tranny seen it is his dd. but i was reading that the sct makes the tranny work better. he has gauges but doesn't have egt, 4'' pipe and cai.

he is looking to get better fuel mileage out on it i know what you are going to say is kept out of the go pedal but he doesn't drive it hard at all and only get 14mpg and before the pipe and cai he only got 12.

where is the best place to buy the sct at and i know they make diferent tunes for it who has best tune for everyday driving an towing.

or should he go with the edge.

i would say go with SCT far as i have read it is the best for the 6.0 and you can get custom tunes made for it...on the fuel mileage thing, something has to be wrong with it thats causing that low of mileage he should be getting atleast 17-18...

sct is the best way to go,call eric at innovative.14 to 18 seems to be the average from 6.0 owners depends mostly on the driver and maybe fuel quality, at 8 somethings wrong.He will get better performance from the sct rather than the edge and the tranny will be much better off IMO just my 2 cents though.
