looking to tune
 
Hey I just got my truck and my question is what is the best tuner & chip combination for my 2002 7.3

Woah! slow down, you cant just go slapping on a chip without supporting modifications. Do you have anything else done to the truck or is it otherwise stock?

get a ts six position with tunes from beans diesel or whoever you choose. Get a set of gauges.

you can do whatever you want to it but it would be advisable to at least have gauges on it before you tune it. exhaust and intake dont hurt either. a custom tuned TS chip is the best to run. ther is not a best tuner its whoever you feel most comfortable running.

No its generally stock except for tires and a 8in lift.

Yeah, your going to want more things besides your chip. And with a lift and tires, a tranny upgrade is recommended.

Well the tires aren't that much larger the tranny is doing fine...I was thinking about a banks tuner with the tony wildman chip..:dang:

Why banks? And about the tranny, yes when running stock its fine, but start putting more power from your chip through your tranny and its not gonna like it.

Because banks is really easy to install and it does some magical bullshit with the transmission.

All chips are easy to install, not just the banks. And all custom tunes adjust transmission shifts. Banks products are overpriced and nothing special at all. They just talk alot. Just get a TS style chip from whomever you get your tunes from. It will be cheaper and easier to coordinate tuning.
