Sct Livewire

I am looking to run a SCT Livewire setup on my 03 7.3. I have read a few posts on the Livewire not being bug free, but is anyone running it with good results. Also is it true that the SCT shifts much better than the Edge or Banks systems. Thanks for your input.

Most of the Livewire bugs have been worked out. As far as what shifts better, Its a matter of personnal preference. If you have tried any standard tunes and are not happy with how they shift, then my suggest is to get a custom tune to suit you.

Thanks for the info. I am looking to purchase one around the first of FEB. I would really like to hear any additional user feedback. I know the Livewire comes with 3 tunes for the 7.3 and the option of 3 custom tunes. My question is, will the 3 tunes from SCT stay if I have Jody from DP add 3 of his tunes on the custom program. Thanks

I've got one and unless they've changed the screen dont expect it to look nearly as nice as the advertising pictures they show. Mine seems to be very poor quality -- and many others have said the same thing on the SCT forum.

It seemed to work ok as far as tuning goes, but I would get error messages when I would try to reprogram the truck back to stock. It would take several tries before it'd let me do so.

For what its worth.
