    Question 6.0 Liter Tuner / Which should I purchase?

    Well if you do a lot of looking and reading the Edge tunes suck for most they are trany killers but they do have a great gauge. The Edge Insight CTS with the expandable pyro is the only way to go that way you are able to add different things to it. With 45K you have a good one check the ECT-EOT...

    Plugging in your truck.

    If you are running the Ford Gold junk coolant i would not go over 3hrs because it is 1500wt heater and you may cook the coolant and the silicates drop out even more to help plug the oil cooler. If using the CAT EC-1 Rated coolant you don't have that problem plus over 3hrs a waste of money. 2...

    Coolant Filtration

    Well even doing a egr delete and a new oil cooler things can go south real quick if your temp spread is larger than 15* you need both a egr delete or a BPD egr and a oil cooler BUT you have to flush or in time you will be doing it again even with the ELC coolant the only thing is if you get a...

The silicates are not able to handle high EGT's generated by a good load or relatively high boost when run...
