Talking SCT X3 Tuner

Ordered a SCT X3 Tuner this evening from Torrie @ Fast Parts Network - Home He answered every e-mail promptly and was very helpful. Now hopefully I will be able to get some power back, firm up the transmission, and correct the speedometer. Well I guess I'll have to wait and see...

subscribing... I plugged my X3 into this truck to see if I could change tire revs/mi but it wouldn't let me do anything. And yes it is unlocked from the former truck.

I thing the updates for the 2010 trucks are out, I'll try to download it with my AE software and see if it will change the speedo, I know it would for the 6.0s.

I hope you have a better experince with the the SCT tuner than I did.

I ended up getting a refund for mine.

Tuner would never load and when it finally did, the gas milage was horrid (about 5 mpg less) with out any noticeable improvement in performance.

I really thought the SCT x3 was a good tuner, with decent functionality, but from now on (if I get another tuner) it will most likely be an edge product.

It certainly wasn't worth the coin I paid for it, or the custom tunes I paid for as well.

I've had by far better experinces with superchips, diablo and edge products in previous vehicles.

I still have the X3 from my old 6.0 diesel, and that was the only tuner you could "safely" run with custom tunes on that. I'm not jumping head-first into tuning this truck, but I kept the X3 just in case. If theres one better when the time comes I'll simply sell the x3- which I bought pre-enjoyed from a member here- and get the better one.

does the sct tuner allow tranny shift point adjustment I don't think the edge will... I am so torn as to which one to order with custom tuning and I would imagine both suppliers would add tire size into the custom tune or is that handled by the programmer settings ( I ask this as it doesn't look like sct will do tire size right now ?).I have been doing a lot of searching on all 3 or 4 sites and it sure is a toss up custom tuning.

bgreen,
SCT will do tire size because I gave Torrie @fastpartsnetwork.com my Tire RPM so he will enter that into my custom tunes. That was one of the biggest reason why I got a tuner to begin with..
