Okay guys, I hate to be the guy who starts a thread instead of searching first buuut.... I searched some and didn't find answers I could understand (buch of tech talk!). Basically, I have a stock F250 7.3 with the 6 speed manual and would like to get better gas mileage, more power would be good, and sometimes I may need to tow a heavy load.
I was recently towing a 8500-9000(?) lb load on the Dalton Hwy (covered in ice) on a LONG STEEP hill and lost enough power that I had to downshift... needless to say, this eventually resulted in me losing traction and sliding backwards. It got a little ugly, I'll leave it at that!
I don't have much money but I found on CL a "Diablo Sport Predator Diesel tune"r for $330 and a "TS performance 6 position tuner" for $350. So, without any other mods, would either of these be worthwhile, and am I risking causing damage without any extra guages?
Thanks for any help!
