Important Considerations
Gearhead Sales LLC does not offer tuning for open or closed vane at idle or for 150% nozzles. Custom tunes do not include emissions deletes and require a functional EGR valve. Furthermore, custom tuning disables any pre-loaded emissions delete capabilities on the tuning device.
Ordering and Delivery
Custom tunes are typically delivered via email within two business days after completing a custom tuning sheet. This sheet, accessible after purchase, gathers necessary vehicle and tuner information. To prevent delivery delays, whitelist @ghtuning.com in your email client. Purchasing a tuner with your custom tune will save you $50.
Conclusion
Choosing the right 6.0 tune depends on your individual needs and driving style. Gearhead Sales LLC provides a comprehensive range of options to maximize your truck’s potential, from towing heavy loads to dominating the streets. By understanding the characteristics of each tune, you can unlock the true power of your 6.0L Powerstroke.
