I have heard that a power chip & controller are a smart addition for towing and economy when not, and that engine brakes makes sense for heavy RV's downhill. Has anyone had experience with either?
I don't have the 6.0L but do have the 7.3L. I added the Banks Power Pack which included an intercooler, chip and 4" exhaust. I also added the Banks Exhaust Brake which really helps not only down hill, but also on the flat freeway when you see that you're going to have to slow down because of heavy traffic ahead. That means that there are many times when I never touch the brake pedal. The exhaust brake keeps the torque converter locked up until the engine RPM drops below 1500.

I wouldn't be without the chip and exhaust brake.
