If it was me, and I had a six speed, I'd just get the ficm programmer. Yes you are limited to the mono chrome gryphon, but with your set up you dont require any trans tuning, so why not? With your limited funds, it would be the most bang for the buck. Others may disagree.

OK, so I guess I need to look on the forums for the difference between a normal programer and a ficm programer.

OK, now I am more confused than when I started! So if I order the $400 FICM tuner I do not need to run another ECM tuner correct? This truck came with a SuperChips flashpaq, but I don't need to run both correct?

the ficm programmer has nothing to do with ecm tuner, it only programes the ficm. as long as your superchips flashpack is'nt already reprograming the ficm then you should be safe to use both at the same time. some programers/tuners as i understand it should not be used in conjuction with the ficm programer, and i'm sure someone on this forum could tell you if you can stack yours safely or not.

What kind of gains are being seen by this programming? Fuel usage, power improvements etc? I would rather have one programmer instead of having to use two so if I can get good improvements with this I will go that route instead of a custom tuned CS. Thanks for the help guys!

The ficm programer offers you:
Mileage tune: 40hp Atlas tune: 80hp Atlas tune: 100hp Hurcules: If you dont have head studs, the 100 hp tune is not recommended. You can use the superchips tuner aswell if you want to, it should be able to remove the speed limiter, but thats the only advantage it will have in a six speed truck over the FICM programmer. IMO
