Ok, I did some research on this.

The H&S stuff is adjust on the fly, which most of you know is BAD for a 6.0, since the trans is completely incapable of on the fly adjustments, it needs to be programmed.

Mike @ KEM will write custom tunes for the H&S for your 6.0, HOWEVER, you lose the adjust on the fly, for the reasons pertaining to the trans not being able to take adjustments on the fly.

H&S canned tunes like you're running, just suggest a trans re-learn for their tuning, they do NOT actually "tune" the trans like the SCT does. The custom tunes do, but again you lose the adjust on the fly.

H&S costs a LOT more than an SCT, and the ONLY person writing tunes for the H&S will be Mike @ KEM. With the SCT you have TONS of options for custom tunes...

I think that about covers it.

I would strongly suggest you get custom tunes ASAP for that thing.

I never adjust anything on the fly for that same reason you just stated, If I change power levels I do so by putting the truck in park and allowing it to re-adjust for the tune. How can I get ahold of Mike @ KEM for some custom tunning?

Home - KEM Performance, Inc. His tunes come highly recommended with the 6.4 crowd too.

Bully dog triple dog with outlook on the fly had my truck completely farted up! Was cool for awhile when I bought it but then It never ran right. Trans had no clue what was going on and eventually would not shift during hard accel from third to fourth without letting out of the pedal. Switched to SCT and all is perfect now. My vote...SCT. To each there own though.

Ehhhhh bullydog :argh yeah I've never changed power settings while driving, I know the trans dosen't care for It. I just set it on a level and leave it, and if it needs changed just throw it in park,and give it about 10 seconds. It works for me, I don't have any problem with doing It.

You might just as well change on the fly the way you're doing it now, it makes no difference. The trans will always "adapt" and learn your driving habits, whether you pull over to switch or not. In order to actually tune the trans, the truck needs to be shut off and reprogrammed). Stopping or still rolling down the road, really makes no difference in your case.

In the manual It states that they recomend performing a transmission relearn procedure after install to help the transmission perform correctly with the added horsepower. I'm going back to the shop tomorrow to find exactly what this feature is and does.

Bullydog says the same thing. They're just having you force learn the trans real quick, but in the end it really makes no difference because it's still going to shift all whacky. At least the bullydog always did in my buddies truck. The trans will act like it has no idea what it wants to do.

Well In that case, I will be going with custom tunes, but It might take a couple of weeks for me to get them considering the fact that I am very busy right now. When I get them I will post more info. Thanks
