Default Looking for a chip or something

I have a 96 F250 7.3 Turbo diesel with no mods. I am looking for a chip or something a little inexpensive and quick to hop this up a little bit more for towing. I am only towing around 6500LBS(race car and trailer). I had an edge evolution until tonight. I was told to pitch it in the trash by the ford diesel mechanic that came out here. My truck started doing stupid crap this past week and yesterday it finally took a ****. It was the PCM and he believes the Edge Evolution caused it. So I have another PCM in there now and I aint taking any chances with the Edge now. Any ideas would be great. Looking for something to go get or order ASAP.

I'm pretty new to this.. my truck is pretty much stock as well. From what I've read on here, go with a set of Stage 1 injectors, a TS 6 position chip, and a nice big air filter like the Napa 6637.

ts are cheap and work pretty well in a stock truck.
i would look into a down pipe and exhaust and the 6637 is cheap too.

Does anybody actually realize that this thread was five months old? You're more than likely not going to get a response from the Original poster who probably never comes here anymore....

If u really wanna up upgrade your truck might take that stock down tube pitch that trash go to 3 inch down tube to a 4in exhaust with the muffler I noticed in almost night and day difference after doing this upgradealsoI've heard that the Superchips Connex line is really good for the powerstroke I have one and it works wonderfully I have a 60 80 and 100 horsepower upgradealso check out the guy on YouTube powerstrokehelp.com that guy is phenomenal I did a bunch of his upgrades to my stock truck i Michigan has a disc set that shows you how to do all of thatn has a disc set that shows you how to do all of that stuff

First this thread is way way old.

Second the superchips is mediocre at best for the powerstoke.

Third, never listen to the powerstroke help guy. He is an idiot and knows very little about what he talks about.
