Well guys I guess I might as well get away from stock and join the croud. my truck is mainly stock but with a 4 inch straight pipe on it. This truck is my daily driver and dont want a mod thats going to eat my tranny or cause more problems than it fixes. Im only going to let myself play with about $4-500 on this project so what are my options?

this could be one of many things. sct offers tuners that have "canned tunes"
they also have alot of tuners that can write files for them as well as different parameters that can be adjusted with the hand held tuners. it is possible that the tuning caused the problems but it is likely that either the tranny had existing problems or the tuning was not up to par. with the right tuning the torqueshift can handle 600+hp in a daily driver just look at the spartan 6.4 trucks running 13's on 38-40 inch tires.

Chips & Programmers

I hope i can do this, but here is a link to Stealth automotive. Raul is a great guy very helpful. The bottom two, are combo sets come with the SCT and gauges. One is the Edge insight for gauges. Cost more, and the other are the three most common gauges we put in the truck. A new trans gauge is needed sense the stock ford one isn't reliable enough. But you'll get two different packages. at least I did one from Raul with all the gauges, and the other from Innovatitive they will be sending the Tuner. hope this helps
