Well, the lemonwire has left the building. Xcal2 and gauges are on the way. Let me take the time to reiterate that LIPD has been all over this for me, with absoultly zero help from SCT. They have made everything right and went above and beyond. Wow, I really thought that customer service was a thing of the past, guess not. Having a bad or defective product is no fun for anyone, how the situation is handled makes all the difference in the world. Thank You Matt and Jermey.

Is there any follow up to this "lemonwire"?? I just installed a Banks 6 gun with pda on a buddys truck. Now I'm kinda torn on either a SCT or the Banks.
But OMFG.....I have never ridden in a 1 ton crewcab dually with 4.10 rears that launched like his does now. Before the install his truck was a dog.....now the beast runs like a raped ape.
Has the issues with the SCT been resolved? I also read that there was problems with the screen on the "lemonwire?
I really like the idea and looks of one simple screen and not a bunch of guages.

The "Livewire" is still junk. Stay far far away from the "Livewire."

The hot setup if you do not want analog gauges, is the SCT XCalII with the Quadzilla Commander for the digital display. The SCT XCalII is far superior to the Banks 6-gun. The Banks unit is just an inline fuel module, and the PCM is not aware of what it is doing, furthermore the Banks unit does not adjust or address the transmission for the increased power. The SCT XCalII is a true tuner and with Matt's custom tunes addresses all parameters of the engine and transmission, and the PCM & TCM are fully aware of all the changed parameters of the truck, so that safe limits can be maintained.

Call Matt at LIPD and he will fill you in all all you need to know. The Banks unit (or any inline fuel chip) does not hold a candle to the SCT XCalII with custom tunes.

Have they worked the "bugs" out of the Livewire yet?
