I don't think Edge has a box out for the 5.9 late 06 and early 07 models. I like Edges products but someone I know personally
just bought a box from www.quadzillapower.com so I'am a little biased at this point.

Go with the Bully Dog Triple Dog. It makes the most power, with the free Crazy Larry upgrade and it works with Ford, Dodge, and Chevy, incase you might want to sell one day.

chip
I browse alot of forums and hands down the smarty is by mass opinion the best tuner for the CTD. It has the most R&D and happy users to follow it. Bully dog doesn't have the stuff behind it that smarty does, it is just what all the people that go to the shop and ask for a chip get. The smarty is the serious performance deal.
If your on a budget the quad is the best bargain and is of great quality, thats what I run, but if I had a 6 speed or a buncha cash i would run the smarty with a quad commander.

check your info again buddy....
i run a 260hp program on my truck...through a bullydog programmer. Thats not serious to you?
I will not argue completely....the smarty does things the bullydog will never do or have the option to do.....
but don't put bullydog into the category that you did. its serious...trust me.
for what you are looking for with a monitor, get a Quadzilla box with the Commander.

Bd
Yes, the BD has great power and all that good stuff, but it is not the basis for a build of a full blown race truck, (I didn't say it wasn't a good downloader) It just isn't of the same quality as the smarty IMO. I would buy one over a smarty if the price was more than a hundred less.

Quality...i can see that. Theres some goofy Bullydog programming.....but it works. Proof in the pudding.
Its not the average "go to a diesel shop and ask for a chip" kind of product...its serious.

Ok
heres the spill, Every forum I look at the Bd crazy larry and the smarty are highly debated. maybe i am biased to smarty for some unknown reason, anyways. if you want agood chip that you can use on a stock truck. the quadzilla standard box, or XZT as well as the diablo power puck and the edge Ez are basically the only boxes you can use to their full potential on a stock truck, without risking damages. The smarty, BDTD, juice w/attitude, predator, puck stack, ect are all potentialy damaging to a truck that is otherwise stock. yea the numbers are all basically equal, but who is the best is debatable, we don't wanna even bring banks into this discussion....

Yea, so ive noticed that people get particularly biased to what they run... i guess that really means that there is no box that is a POS, and there is a bunch of good boxes to choose from.

I have run a Edge Juice/A2, Edge EZ, Bullydog Triple Dog standard programs, then Crazy Larry and now Scary Larry, Quadzilla Boost Fooler, Smarty with mild, stock and wild torque managment settings, TS MP8, Quadzilla XZT, FASS pump, Glacier kit, snow stage 2 water/meth kit, beta boost fooler, Autometer and DiPricol gauges....i may be biased to what i run because i've tried lots of things and like what i have now. Still haven't gotten a hold of a predator from Diablo or Dr. Performance's predator...but im workin on it.
