Gryphon vs Edge on a stock truck

[dchamberlain]

What tunes would you recommend? Obviously, I think I'd want the Fuel Sipper tune. And a tune that would give me a little extra edge when hauling the camper, or trailer if I can go that way some day.

If I understand it correctly, it costs $35 to upgrade my Edge to the Gryphon, and the $30 per custom tune?

Thanks for the reply, BTW.

With the 6.0 I would absolutely think about opening up the intake and exhaust as basic mods even with your current programmer setup. if you don't have a diesel emissions requirement where you live...
the better the engine can breathe the cooler your EGT's will be and the better off the whole truck will be

Wasn't this the engine that was "detuned" by Ford as a way to avoid warranty claims? If so, you lost power and economy. I can't believe a custom tune wouldn't be even better than a canned tune. For one thing, it could be optimized for the altitude (and speeds) you drive at.

If the FICM has been updated then Yes Jack you are correct. there are a couple of posts here about FICM and reflashing that Bill can do. so the OP could read those... it was a real MPG killer. most people saw a couple MPG drop after the update.
Also should read the PSD forums about replacing the head studs. the original ones are prone to stretching and causing head gasket leaks.... I tell ya it would be nice to have a one piece hood on the ford like on my 4700 International.. made doing the head gaskets real easy on that truck
