Hello I'm new to the forum and I'm wondering what programmer is best for my truck, I have 35" tires(no regear yet), 2.5 hbs level, cool air intake and my truck is straight piped. I want a programmer that won't break the bank and can adjust tire and gear size and have a number of canned and custom tunes

 

I have yet to purchase one but everyone on here talks about the "edge evolution" programmer. I myself have a 2010 model "power programmer 111" (ole style) but works for my set up. I have 35's with a 6" rough country lift, CAI plus the programmer.

 

Should not be running a canned device's tunes on a slot-style MAF truck with an aftermarket CAI/WAI.

It results in MAF TF skew, which = bad juju.

OP - all you need to know:

MPT has a forum discount, so you pay even less. Spectacular tuning.

OK thanks I'll check them out

 

Anyone know if superchips are any good? Or I know a guy who has a SCT x3 for sale will that work for what I need?

 

Suoperchips is the same as company as SCT.

An X3? Which model? Model 3000 or 3015?

Is it Unlocked? Pass if it isn't - even it it's free.

Its unlocked but not sure what models

 

You need to find out;

3000 - is custom-only; you'll need to buy all new tunes - the ones on there will NOT work on yer truck.

3015 - comes with preloaded canned tuning from SCT - will accept custom calibrations.

One more thing before you buy - obtain the s/n and contact either SCT or one of their dealers. Earlier revision models will not be compatible with later model yer trucks.

Lastly - you'll have no warranty. And depending upon how much you pay, if you then add the cost of a few custom tunes, it not be all that much cheaper than buying a Brand-new X4 - with a warranty and tunes included.

Remember to update it via the web as soon as you get it and BEFORE you do anything else - it may be missing a critical patch and be down-rev, firmware-wise.
