Default 2018 Tuners for EB

Since the 17+ models have Gen 2 now, do the SCT X4 tuners work with them, or is it a completely different game? I have the SCT that I got for my 14 with 5* tunes, and bought 5* for my 16, but after using it once, I didn't care for how it ran tuned and went back to stock, so $150 in tunes wasted. I know the Gen 2 EB tunes different and at first only specific tuners worked, but wonder if the X4 will be compatible at some point. If not, then guess it will be time to sell it.

It won't work with the 2018. I'm in the same boat

What was it about the '16 truck tuned that you did not like?

Other than the pedal being more like in sport mode, I felt no power increase and the trans shifts funky. It still has a funky shift, so didn't want to force it with a tune and wind up having it break. I did the tune mainly to get more power, better shifting and better pedal and all I got was a better pedal. I had a 5* in my 14 EB and it ran GREAT!
