Ok ,so I finally got everything that I could taken care of on the truck, arp studs, gaskets, egr delete, and new oil cooler. I've been wanting sct for a while now but I've done some research and I decided to go a differnet route. I went with the the new H&S Mini Maxx tuner. What are all of your thoughts on this, i will repost in a couple of days when i get the truck back from the shop and see what the tuner is all about, I've heard nothing but good things from this tuner and I have high expectations for it. I'm just wondering if there is anybody that would no this tuner from experience and what they think of it. Thanks.

Did some reading on it and it shows NO trans tuning for the 6.0. Only for hte 6.4 and 6.7. Id confirm that with H&S before using. If it dont have a trans tune I wouldnt touch it. Other then that it does look like a nice unit. Will have to read up on any consumer reports later.

That was also my concern, I'm going to get more details when I go to pick the truck up on monday. The mechanic that's working on my truck has experience with these tuners, so hopefully he can tell me everything I need to no, after all he recomended it saying it's the best one out there, even better than sct.

He lied to you.

I would contact Mike @ KEM though, he's the guru with the H&S stuff and I know he JUST released some custom tuning for the 6.0's, but I would certainly inquire about the trans tuning.

I wont be giving up my SCT anytime soon.

On another note. SCT is roughly $350.. The H&S is almost $1000. Id take the SCT and use the extra $600 to $700 for new guages and a coolant filter.

All I can say is wow, I about put it in the ditch, going about 40 down a country road got on it and got sideway's and I about sh$t myself(btw i have 33/13.50 on my truck). Yes it has tranny tunning, much more firmer shift, when it shifts it really throws you back in your seat. I'm very impressed with this tuner, yes it is kind of expensive but man did I get my money's worth. I highly recommend this product, I can't stop smiling .

Yeah I'll just keep it on the mild tune for now, the truck runs suprisingly clean, not that much smoke.

So you got KEM to write custom tunes for you? I'm still not sold on the H&S having transmission tuning. Firmer shifts don't mean it's "tuned". I'm going to do my own research on this.

No I haven't got the custom tunes yet, It says Transmission Re-learning when your going through the steps of installation. I am still figureing out the set up It's pretty complicated.
