The old school LiveWires were problematic. I have no idea about this new one.
Outwardly it looks like a nice package. I don't know about ports for external probes. I would imagine one for the EGT, but I don't know about a fuel PSI port. Both of which, I consider a must to have, regardless if you tune the vehicle and neither are monitored by the truck's computers. I think that changed for both with the 6.4.
If I was looking for an all in one solution, I would look at something that could also handle those two external probes as well. Otherwise, you'll be looking at another gauge for at least fuel psi. A gauge that I would recommend regardless of tuning, but especially if tuned.

I have the first version which was the TSX. It was nice but couldn't show you all the pids I wanted. Ended up buying a scan gauge last year and now only turn the TSX on to retune. The new version your looking at looks like it can show almost every thing we like to watch on the 6.0. So if I were to buy another tuner it would be the live wire ts. And I can't believe the price sufferance. I paied over $800 for the TSX not including my custom tunes. Hope this helps.

I have the ts and it's ........ok would I buy another one? No. I bought it cause I have a 06 Mustang GT so it will do both vehicels. If I knew what I know now , I would have bought the dash boss and a nice cheap ipad or so thing for the truck. If I want tunes I'd buy the X 3 with some cutsom tunes, but that's my opinon. I alsohave heard from SCT themselves they are going to have more pids to down load

IIRC, the livewire TS allows for 7 external analog sensors.
OP, if your looking to save a buck, you can buy a used SCT X3 or SF3. Just be sure it's unlocked and has unlocks left, then you have options for a monitor like ScangaugeII, Torque app for Android, DashBoss for Apple, or Edge Insight CS/CTS.
Here is some info on buying a used SCT for the 6.0.
