for 8 bucks i guess you could always return it if it don't work as long as it don't bugger your truck up. i run the hypertech programmer on my 05 and the superchips programmer on the wifes expedition. i haven't noticed a mileage increase on either.i hear good thing about sct so maybe i'll pony up the cash for one sometime.

biggest scam ever, your going to get a little connector with a resistor that tricks the iat into thinking its 50 degrees air in the intake and ups the timing and throw fuel at it. You will lose mileage and waste fuel.

If it is warm out, it could cause your truck to flood out since it is dumping more fuel in.
