6.0L Six-Gun/PowerPDA: Liked Edge w/Attitude & A2 Until I Tried Six-Gun® w/PowerPDA®, and OH MY GOD!!!!!
2006-06-25
Robert of Atco, New Jersey, installed a Six-Gun Diesel Tuner with PowerPDA Vehicle Command Center on an ’04 Ford King Ranch F-250 6.0L Power Stroke turbo-diesel
I have a 2004 King Ranch F250 6.0 Power Stroke crew cab short bed single rear wheel. I tried the Edge with Attitude and the A2. Thought it was great until last week when I had the Six-Gun with the PowerPDA installed and OH MY GOD!!!!! Keep up the good work and I will keep bragging to everyone. Oh—my buddy has a Duramax with the Edge system and sees the power my truck makes and now is installing the Six-Gun and PDA in his. Thanks again.
