My 2006 F250 FX4
New to the forum and have read a little, but would like to open a discussion on my truck and get some advice.
It is a 2006 F250 6.0 FX4 with about 125K. I bought it wrecked and fixed it for a nice price. I know I want to put a monitor on it to watch for signs of egr failure which brought me to a crossroad. Do I want/need a tuner? Or just a monitor? I have been reading enough to decide that I am interested in FICM reprogramming b/c I get 11mpg in town... But I am not real sure if I want to hop it up more than that. It seems to have really good power compared to what I use to drive and until I decide if I want to do any mods I am not sure if I want a big H.P. tune. At any rate if you wouldn't mind putting in your 2 cents on setups pro's and cons I would appreciate any advice. Thanks, Richard

After reading some other posts it seems like my mpg's are lower than most people who did rollbacks. I wonder if I have other issues causing poor mpg?
Is the only way to find out what strategy you have is with a programmer?

If your happy with the power then its best to leave it alone. However you will need a programmer to see what your ficm and PCM program is. Or have the ford dealer tell you.

Well I guess I am on the fence, I want to get just a cs insight to monitor my motor in hopes to catch the oil cooler and egr problem before it happens. however I can't help but think about just getting the cs or cts with the tunes. Then I had to run across this site and fing out that there may be ecm/fcim stratagies that will hurt my perfomance if I get a cs/cts tunner. So now I am trying to discuss options with people, I am trying to read as much as I can in the meantime...
Playing with the idea of 1.insight and sct or 6 position chip 2.cs tunner Thease options get affected b/c I think I need ecm/fcim stratagies changed along with my choice...
