Which H&S tuner will work with Gearhead tunes on a 6.4L

dmkolb · Jun 7, 2014

What H&S tuner model will run Gearhead custom tunes? I'm looking for the cheapest. All I need it to do is upload tunes to the truck. It wont be used for monitoring anything. Upload a tune and then disconnect it. So looking for the cheapest model that will get the job done.

Race or the "street" minimaxx or XRT Pro doesn't matter.

What are you asking for them? If you rather just send me a message and not post it publically that's fine. The cheaper the better as price is all I'm concerned with as long as it'll work with Gearhead custom tunes.

Cant you use a new tuner with high sulfur unlock?

They are 1550$ shipped and are unlocked work up to the 13's will work with gear head tuning. Gearheads tuning on the mini max is awesome.

yes, but that doesn't magically give you Gearhead tunes

Is $1550 the best someone could do on a used one? Not wanting to spend that much. I have a SCT but it's not playing nice with my truck when it comes to the Gearhead tunes. Don't want to get into it but I want to run Gearhead tunes but think an H&S will be a better route to go. I have a SCT Live wire extreme. Maybe I could sell it to off set the cost of the H&S.

Also is the Mini Maxx the cheaper of the tuners models?

That 1550 is for a new one I think. You can get an XRT Pro for a little cheaper but things are high now man. Sucks your SCT doesn't work, I'm sure you paid a pretty penny for that too

Sent from a Cummins plant, driving a Powerstroke, with a TDI on the side!

Ya got it new for over a grand. It was opened which is why I got a good deal on it. It works but for some reason with my setup were having a few issues with it. I'm learning now it's not a tuning issue it's actually issues with the SCT platform itself. Was given some advice that the issues I'm experiencing with the SCT I would not have if I used an H&S tuner. So ya I'm looking for one. If the XRT Pro is cheaper than a Mini Maxx I'll probably look for one of those. Wonder if I could find a used one.
