Dude really??????

OK, I just got my SCT LiveWire Tuner today and installed my first tune about 10 minutes after UPS delivered it to my door. All I can say is REALLY???? Is this really the same truck???? My first ride I turned off my street and rolled to about half throttle, smoked my 35" ProComp Extreme AT's and fishtailed down the road. My adreneline was through the roof. I am NOT the type to beat my vehicles and will not become one, but it was pretty sweet to see what this beast is capable of when let off its leash. I feel like a little kid with new green machine big wheel. AWESOME.

Just felt like sharing that.......

By the way, its an 04 SD PSD 6.0L

How many miles do you have on your truck and what other mods have you done? Keep me up to date with the reliability please.

Are you using custom tunes or just the pre-programmed ones that come with it?

I have 73000 miles on her, just bought it 2 months ago from a local dealer. It has a turbo back Banks exhaust system but other than that, she's vanilla.

Oasis report was clean and hope it stays that way.

By the way, I loaded the pre-loaded (street) factory tune which is the less agressive one of the 3 pre-loaded tunes from SCT and it performed like this. I am scared to load the performance one or a custom one from Innovative diesel or Spartin.

The custom ones are actually better for the truck if you dont get a wild one. You can keep your truck together and still keep a grin on your face if you can restrain your right foot

Yea, I have been reading the same thing that custom is the way to go to keep your engine and tranny a little longer.
