Cool Finally, SCT tunes that compete!

Looks like someone finally got it right - Brad and the guys at River City Diesel have figured out the transmission code. The SCT Livewire never had an issue with horsepower and torque on the 6.4's. Everyone complained that the transmission tuning was mushy. Well, according to Jesse at MBRP, he's tried all three of RCD's new SCT tunes and they're great. Here's a link to their site:

the diesel (what you do at a red light) also has great input for programmers. Spartan workers hang out there.

Cool TheDieselStop!

I just didn't want it to look like I was steering people elsewhere - I like it here but the post I referred to, was there!

There were some back end changes made to the SCT dealer database that's helping out quite a bit. There's more power on the way to match the better shifting.

That's really great news - BTW, I didn't mean to leave you guys out of the post! I've been reading great things about your stuff too, for a while now. I'm just finally getting off my butt and making some positive changes to my truck. I ran an SCT Xcalibrator 2 on my Supercharged 4.0 Ranger and liked it a lot - nice to be able to stay with what you like and are familiar with...
