![]() Introduced early 2007, the Livewire 9600, is for Ford vehicles up to 2007 on the 6.0L. It is a good software, in case you get a chance to use it. SCT has the Livelink software to datalog. The SF3 includes SCT preprogrammed files and has the capability for custom tunes too. It has no preprogrammed tunes so you need to have a tuner write your files. Sometime in 2007, SCT introduced the X3/SF3. Even then, I would be weary and you need to make sure the firmware is the latest. The most I would pay for this tuner is $50 and that is if you are going to have tunes downloaded personally by the tuner. With the Xcal2, your truck will not start you will need to go to Ford to get a reflash. With newer devices SCT can put a stock computer in your truck. With this programmer if the tune does not download right, it can corrupt your stock computer. The software changed again and continues to change, often, but the whole setup of this tuner cannot handle it. I do not recommend purchasing this used programmer. This one had a screen ½” x 1 ½” inches, give or take. I think early 2005, SCT introduced the Xcal2 and discontinued in 2008. What tuners do you look for? SCT’s first programmer the Xcal a/k/a X1 – It was a black box. Instructions and processing time is the same as getting 5 more unlocks, listed above. You cannot use the programmer anymore and the second vehicles’ computer can corrupt and that vehicle will not start. There is another aspect to the unlocks – since it marries both your vin and computer, if you leave a tune in the first vehicle and load the tuner onto another, the programmer will lock. The most eta I’ve seen is 10 excluding shipping both ways. SCT charges $65 to give you back 5 unlocks and that includes shipping back to you. They will not accept anything that is not clearly marked with the RMA#. After you go through the 5, you need to contact them and get a return authorization number. If you put it back onto the first vehicle, after returning the second vehicle to stock, it will use up an unlock. If you load it on another vehicle, after returning the first vehicle to stock, it will use up an unlock. If you go to Ford for a reflash, it will use up an unlock*. If you change either, it will use up what is called, an unlock. The SCT programmers marry both the vin in your truck and the computer. I talk to a lot of guys who know nothing about what to do. I know many people ask about tuning but more importantly, for those of you who want to purchase a used SCT tuner, what should you look for? What are the differences? I consider SCT and tuning my expertise and would like to help so nobody makes a wrong decision and can recognize a good offer. We bleed Blue lol Please look for explanations to the * at the bottom.
