    Entry Level MIG Welder

    My father in law gave me an oxy/acetylene torch set which got me thinking about a welder. After looking around, I'm thinking an entry level MIG would be the best for me. I'm thinking that a gas/gas less setup would be ideal. Just looking to pick some brains. Thanks, Chris

    Oil Change and Fuel Filter Observations

    I did the full gambit on my truck today and noticed a few things. First, the fuel filters, the top was a breeze with a rag under the connections for drips. Secondly, I remember reading to do at least three complete turns before draining via the valve. I let it drain for a few and let it keep...

    2015 SCT Livewire TS+ Race and 5" Flo-Pro Exhaust

    I've returned my truck to stock and decided to sell my Livewire TS+ for 2015 trucks and 5" Flo-Pro Exhaust. Both were installed for about 5k miles and were a great upgrade to my truck. I'm looking to get $1,000 B/O for the Livewire with 4 ****** tunes - Tow, Street, Hot Street, and Race. They...

    Returning to Stock

    I'm considering putting my '15 back to stock and wondering if there are any issues anyone has run into? Any tips? My thought is to return to stock tuning and then reinstall the exhaust. I made sure to wait until I had a regen before I removed the stock exhaust with he hope that when I put it...

    Livewire TS PIDS Updates

    Before I return my truck to stock to try it, has anyone tried updating their TS lately to see if SCT has updated the pids at all? I don't have mine hooked up at the moment as there weren't any useful pids to watch. Thanks in advance, Chris

    Leaking Windshield

    When I opened my drivers side door this morning there was water dripping from under the dash onto my floor mat. I looked and felt and it was coming down the harness for my plow which runs through the main harness firewall grommet. I just started parking outside with the nicer weather and it...

    SCT Live Load

    I have been trying for nearly a week now to get Live Load Gen II to link to my LiveWire TS in my '15 to no avail. I have tried SCT Tech Support, but they are nearly impossible to get a hold of. I tried all of the suggestions in the help guide on the program and even set it to run as...

    Touch-Up Paint

    I found a chip in my paint that I want to address ASAP. What is everyone doing for touch-up paint? I stopped by Advance Auto, but their Dupli-Color station doesn't list UH Tuxedo Black. I know I can get it at Ford, but I just wondered if there are any options that may be better. Thanks, Chris

    Tuner Options

    Here we go. I'm going to make a move on tuning and now just need to make a decision on what unit I want to use. Going with SCT tuning, I'm given the options of an X4, LiveWire TS+, and a Bully Dig GT. I like all options and really liked my old MiniMaxx which leads me to the GT. I know that there...

    Used Mini Maxx Race

    I have a used Mini Maxx that I am looking to sell. I bought it used and ran it on my old Dodge and kept it in the event I got another '11-'14. I went with a '15 so I no longer have a need for it. This is the unlocked unit that works all the way up to the '14's without any codes necessary. I...

    h&s Mini Maxx Compatibility

    I picked up a used Mini Maxx a while back an it didn't come with the original packaging. I am currently using it on my '06 Dodge. I bought it with the thought that I could use it on a late model PSD at some point. I've tossed around the idea of selling it though, but I'm not certain which unit I...

    Used XRT Pro compatibility

    I have a lead on a used XRT Pro that was used on a 6.7 Cummins. It is unmarried and ready to go. My question is how can I tell what vehicles and years it will work on? Can the serial number tell me anything? What about MCC compatibility? I'm thinking about grabbing it so when I get another...

    Truck Width

    Does anyone know the width of the Super Duties with the '99-'07 Tow Mirrors? I never thought to measure mine when I had it and wonder if they will fit through my garage door. Thanks in advance, Chris

    Mini Maxx

    I have been thinking about getting back into another 6.7. That said, I'm thinking about getting a Mini Maxx now such that when the time comes I am ready.

    6.4 SCT LiveWire (Locked)

    I may have a line on a LiveWire for a 6.4. It's an offroad version that I believe is VIN Locked. Anyone have an interest? I know SCT can unlock units, but I don't know if they still unlock these? I am thinking $150 shipped. Let me know. Chris

    Tuning Software

    Have you guys ever considered offering tuning software for the end user to write their own tunes? The DashDAQ is a great unit and I would think that having the capability to do your own tuning would be great. People would be able to run your tuning as well as an option to create their own...

    Truck Shopping

    Well, it looks like I'm going to try to get into a 6.4. I'm tossing around the idea of getting a truck with a manual transmission, but that's not set in stone. I know I want an Extended Cab Short Box, though I may consider a Crew. I look forward to getting it set where I want it and being...
