Very good for towing as well....Also has a custom option, haven't messed with that a whole lot however.
how has the performance of the tunes on there been? bc i have been going back and forth between the edge and the sct. i like how this one mounts up, but i want it to deliver in performance as well. any mpg gains?

I have not noticed any MPG gains at all. I think that's probably because my foot is in it quite a bit. But even if I did baby it, don't think it'd do any better. The power difference is definately felt. On performance setting from a dead stop, it squeels the tires pretty well and gets a 2nd gear scratch quite often. Definately worth it. Passing from like 50-70 is unreal compared to stock. Definately worth the $329! would be very well for towing.

I didn't notice any MPG gains until my wife started driving the truck and she keeps her foot out of it. When I am unable to do so. But like sbronemann said you can feel the power.

ok sweet, thanks shakie33, and sbronemann!
that is good to kno, and i have a feeling i will be the same way always shoving the pedel to the floor and hearing it roar at WOT! but yeah this one is pulling me for the edge bc i like how it mounts on the dash and you can see what is going on. but i have heard that on level 3 it shows engine codes after a while, has anyone had this problem as well? or does it work like a charm on level 3???

Thanks for the help guys!

Well be sure and stay away from level 3

I was making a joke. But some see a shudder in the tranny cursing in overdrive... I did when I had my Edge. I believe Edge has fixed this problem.

Ok cool I hadn't ever heard of anyone having problems before. I will keep an eye out for that just in case. I still love the programmer anyways
