I have a 2003 F350 with the 6.0 & I'm looking to get a chip or programmer for more power & better fuel economy. I also am gonna install an EGR delete so i need to be able to clear that code. Hopefully you guys can help me out!
The search feature is your best friend around here but in a nutshell most folks recommend the SCT tuners since they also have decent trans tuning with their canned tunes but there is a new monitor/tuner coming from PHP (power hungry performance) based on the Edge Insight Pro that may revolutionize the tuning world. There's a thread in this section devoted to it as well as some more tuning info in the 6.0 general section. I need a tuner as well as plan on going with an SCT since I already own the Insight & hope I can find someone selling their SCT when they upgrade to the PHP Insight set up.
One only "chips" a 6.0 if they want a lot of trouble.
Programming is different currently the king is SCT but as stated above PHP is coming out with a new tuner.
6.0 head gaskets are a know weak point adding additional power is a gamble if you aren't studed and can't afford to tomorrow then I recommend trans only or low powered tunes if you can run whatever you want just don't complain if they blow.
Good custom tuners (in no particular order)
PHP
Gearhead
Quick tricks
WPE
TSD
Innovative
and others I'm forgetting.
I am selling my SCT 3015 ID programmer. It pre-programmed with Innovative Diesel economy, tow, street, extreme street and anarchy. Also loaded with Vivian's Looney Tune and another Innovative Diesels street tune. $275 includes shipping to lower 48. It's plug and play and makes for a huge improvement over stock programming. PM me if you're interested.
I called Innovative Diesel and they said it would work on other 6.0's, but according to the experts it won't. I'll call them again tomorrow to make sure I heard them correctly. Its is the 3015 ID just like their new model 7015 ID.
If it is the 3015ID is like the 7015ID then the tunes from innovative will transfer. They are better than SCT canned tunes, but not quite as good as their custom tunes.
