I have a 2010 F150 STX with a 4.6l V8 and have been looking at getting a chip to, mostly, help with fuel mileage, since I am on the highway a lot. I would also like to have it when I get bigger tires so I can calibrate and gain some more power.

Been looking at Bully Dog Triple Dog GT, Hypertech, and Edge.. Any suggestion or experience with any of these?

 

I have seen a lot of people in the forums talking about the SCT. It seems like there are a lot of options on it, is it worth having all those?

 

I had a SCT X3 with custom tunes on my 2010 4.6 3v, on 93 octane performance I averaged 19 mpg. I got it from VMPtuning.com

I liked it. I have since traded it in for a eco....

 

What were you getting before gettin 19 mpg?

 

The Max Energy PN 42003 for the 2010 F150 4.6 has all the features, shift points, shift firmness, tire & gear recalibration, speed limiter & rev limiter. It picks up 8 HP & 15 TQ on the power. It gives good throttle response & quicker acceleration. You can usually count on 1 or 2 mpg gain on the fuel economy.
Thanks Gary @ Hypertech

 

High 17 low 18, that truck was 2wd 3.31 fyi

Second, unless you drive a lot of miles and actually do see a gain from a programmer, they're slow to pay back. Not every programmer is a sure fire way to gain mpgs.
Third, get a custom tuned SCT from one of the quality companies out there. SCT is the only one I'd trust on these 6r80's until Edge gets it figured out.
