Tuner

Been looking at tuners for my 08 6.4, so many to choose from. What do ya'll think about the SCT Livewire TS? Can I do the DFP, and the ERG delete with this one? Just looking at different ones trying to save money on the purchase. The H&S and the Spartan are so expensive. But I can go that way just take a little longer.

SCT stock cannot do deletes, will need a custom tune. Check out local diesel shops in town to see if they write tunes. It's nice to have someone local you can work with on a tune. H&S and Spartan can do deletes but like you said the price is up there. I ran the SCT 9625OR for years and recently upgraded to the Livewire TS with custom tunes written by a local diesel performance shop, 700$ for the whole package.

I just pulled the trigger and ordered a H & S Tuner and EGR delete. I hope my wife don't find out!

I have the H & S and have been very happy with it. When installed I ran stock tune with removed DPF and 4" DP back exhaust. Good power, increased fuel mileage a little if you can keep your foot out of it! Really need some additional air flow if you do put your foot into it at all. Stock air box just can't move enough air. I have ran the Hot tune for the past year. I will be doing EGR delete this weekend and going to a mid-range tune as I do more towing than empty runs.
