If your serious about modding your truck just go with a SCT. if you just want a good tuner that you never have to worry about you just plug in and play. go with superchips, you can change your tire size too if that is a factor

I HATE being broke. My truck is not only my truck, but my hobby. I like working on it, fixing what's not broke. I have the performance itch....with a v6. Its not likely I'll be able to drop almost 300 on a tuner

I had the SCT on mine till the PCM went kaputty. Sean says it "should" work fine with the replacement. Already did the 180 stat, and I have 1.7 rockers sitting at my feet ready to go on whenever I can...
