Guys, we have over 200k on some of these diesels that are in my construction co. Everyone of these trucks have had one or the other (EDGE, QUADZILLA,PPE,BULLYDOG,and my favorite SCT Custom Tuned by ID) on them with little or 0 problems. They make my job easier, and when used properly will yeild better mileage and give you more power. Everything is relative, Good luck with your reserch, it is a rebadged Dr. Performance. Jeff

Ratman, I did my 2002 7.3 with a Diablo tuner. that worked great! It has 3 settings 60hp econemy tune, 80hp (no towing),120hp(No towing and need 4" exhaust and guages). I used the 60hp tune. SWR F350, K&N air filter, Amsoil oil, 3.73 gears and 34"tall tires ( had speedo recalibrated for tires). My last 3000 miles had 21.4 average milage. Cruising 65 mph on expressway it was 23 or better.

That is a great picture, when I was a kid my grandfather pulled a formula tri-hull with a 1966 Chrysler imperial.

Actually, I haven't tried it. I sold my boat and not buying another one for a while. I am considering selling my truck as I don't need it anymore
