He thinks he will be ok. It was on the other truck for the last couple years and the only problems he had were two tps. The guy selling them originally had the edge on and after two sets of headgaskets took it off and put the bullydog on. He was selling these and getting a banks sixgun. I tried talking him into a sct also but he thinks since its banks it would be safest for his truck. I'm glad I'm not as hard headed as those two. I spent an hour reading on here and had my mind made up on a sct. I don't think he bought the bullydog yet so when he gets back from a hunting trip I'll make him sit and read around some threads on here. Thanks for the responses everyone

 

Custom tunes for your SCT will blow those canned tunes out of the water, just as those canned tunes did the bullydog stuff.

You should do yourself a favor and spend the $80 to get an extreme tune from Eric. It was the best $80 I ever spent and the longest lasting smile I've ever had.

 

I'm getting innovative tunes for myself for xmas. Pretty sure I'm going for the xtreme street, xtreme race, and a tow tune. Anyone know if eric does a lope idle for a 6.0? I heard some videos of 6.4s. I'm missing the lopeyness of my cummins since its tore apart and probably will be till at least summer.

 

For a long time they did not, as I believe it was hard on parts. I had heard rumors that he does do them now and has gotten it pretty good to be reliable yet. Your best bet is to contact Eric and ask him personally and see what his thoughts are on it.

I have all three of the tunes you're looking at getting, I like all of them. Also if you tow under 10k lbs, you can just get the standard street tune as it's safe to tow up to that weight. I have the tune that is capable of 10k+ and I love it. I will probably never need it, but I got it just in case. I usually use this towing tune during the winter months, I like it a lot for regular daily driving.

 

I bought and WAS running the bullydog tripledog on my truck and i can already tell the tranny is leaking around the gaskets. Bullydog is a POS!!!

 

I dont think I'd blame that on the bullydog, even though it is hard on transmission parts. I have not seen a single 6.0 that didn't have the bellhousing drip. I'm sure there are a handful out there, but I have not personally crawled under one that wasn't wet there.

 

take the SCT X-Cal and unload it from your truck, tell your friend to unload the bullydog from his, load your SCT on his truck, let him take it for a spin around the block and then when he comes back with the biggest smile you have ever seen him with hook the SCT back up and take the tune off and tell him you told him the SCT was better, then go to your truck, load the tune back on it and leave his house with the truck sideways in the road.....

but i'm an A-hole like that... your mileage may vary....

 

Well put!

 

I'm pretty sure that'd lose one of his unlocks on the SCT, since they vin-lock to the truck.

 

This weekend i'm getting a, 05 reg cab 6.0 that already has a edge platinum edition juice on it... But from what i've heard on here it sounds like i better ditch it and get an SCT Tune.... How do i get in touch with the guy that does these?? and what are the pros and cons of it? does it come with a display setting screen like most other programmers? This is also my first diesel so i dont know much about them, will the edge be easy to uninstall and the SCT easy to install?? Whats the cost of the SCT tune?

Thanks for all your help and advice!!!
