Default trailer brake controller

so I installed a factory tbc on my truck and the dealer wants over a hundred bucks to flash it on. Can a custom tune turn on my tbc or is that a dealer only deal?

Default Sct x4

Just got my X4 in the mail so will be downloading 4 tunes - Eco and Performance tunes for both octanes. I'll let you know how it goes as I check them out.

I'm planning on installing a Boss 302 intake manifold next month and will need a custom tune for that. Already have FlowMaster and K&N dry air intake.

Default SCT Tunes for F150 2014 - optional settings

Has anyone with an SCT X4 F150 2014 with any of the downloaded tune tried any optional settings (you can change about 10 differnet individual settings even on a custome tune)??
Just get my X4 and so far love the new truck response.

Sct x4, because it was included with the blower. Haven't installed the blower yet so i flashed the 91 tune in the mean time. As far as customizing the canned tune i just disabled torque reduction and removed speed limiter, which im going to turn back on around 120mph. F150 12' 5.0

Default Used edge evo

If I buy a used edge evolution from a friend with just the regular canned tunes that have already been used, will it still work on my truck?

I have an SCT x4 with custom tunes. I loaded a tow tune in my 2011 Ecoboost and within 10 miles had awful engine noise and a bad shifting experience. I reloaded the Performance tune which was quite awesome. One week later, my ecoboost blew. Cracked block. Truck is being repaired for a minimum of $7200, Had 103,000 miles when I got the tuner...105,000 when motor blew. Hard to believe it was coincidence.

Default Best tuner for power and economy purposes

So I've scrolled through quite a bit of this thread and am still a little lost. I guess my main question here is what would be the best tuner/tune to put on my truck for more power and better gas mileage. My truck is a 2010 f150 with the 5.4 motor in it.

Im not sure you will find a "best" you will find a metric ton of opinions tho. Usually horsepower and fuel economy dont go in the same sentence. For instance im runnin the sct x4, they claim a 2mpg increase. I got a .2 mpg increase when babying my truck. Now when i get on it the thing rips compared to stock but its also down 1mpg from before.

That's what I figured, I probably should have read over my statement and realized that probably wouldn't happen lol. I'm planning on 35s soon and am worried about fuel milage more than anything. Although I will miss the pep when I hammer on it I will suffice for the look. I'll dig around some more and look for the best "economy" tuner I guess.
