Ok lets talk programmers!

Upgrades
K&N Air Changer System

what do you expect from a programmer???
do you want additional guages? or just the altered shift points and additional timing/torque modualtion adjustments and stuff???
look at the SCT Xcal3, live wire and the gryphon

What I would like is it to be able to show me trans temp, motor temp and so on.
Plus be able to give me more power and TQ and gas millage when I have out 30FT RV hooked up.

If you want to be able to view those things then the Edge or PHP Gryphon is your choice. Same unit but the Gryphon is custom tuned.

In the interest of being fair, I have to point out you could tune your truck with an XCal, from Troyer, and buy a Scangauge to monitor things. But, the Gryphon does combine the two functions.

New ones are pretty much the same price everywhere. A used one comes up every now and then in the classifieds on here. Just be sure it has been unlocked. If you go new I would go on and get the Gryphon.

Go with a reputable programmer who sells good tunes and never have to kick yourself that you could have gotton, something better that fits you and your truck.
Edge is a good product also. Check out ebay they sometimes have good deals on them there and automotive parts stores also have them on sale. You also want better mpgs, tq, and power when towing your 30' camper?
It can be done with the tq and power but I don't know about the mpgs? Maybe this F250 PSD.

the gryphon is a good choice but the sct livewire has majoprity of the same features and only you can decide which one is right for you
no matter what the custom tunes will be worth it
