Hey guys, I know theres 1000 of these threads, but as I dig I am realizing they are all a few years old. I am picking up my first 6.4 in a few days. Its deleted and tuned with spartan already. Whats the latest for SCT vs spartan vs H&S? Any bad news out of any of them? Im specifically concerned with the transmission lasting. Have also heard of 6.4s melting pistons. With this in mind, am I safe with the spartan? The truck was only tuned last year. Its just a DD. Rarely have a trailer behind it.
Thanks

My suggestion is drive the truck, see if there's anything about the tuning that YOU don't like (don't form an opinion based on what someone says on the Internet).. If there is then work with Spartan to revise the tuning to your preference.

I wouldn't worry about melting Pistons unless you decide to start buying tunes off of Facebook..

If after a few revisions they can't get it right then start searching for a different tuning platform.
 
Spartan literally just released their 6.4 revised tuning.

H&S canned tunes are ok, though every truck I see with cracked pistons has H&S canned tunes :eek: (but it's by far the most popular tuning, so...)

SCT canned tunes don't exist at this point

Transmission is the least of my concerns with a 6.4. I've never hurt one of mine
 
I'm happy both my H&S. It made 590 hp and 1210 tq at the wheels. It's just deleted too. When it comes to towing I couldn't ask for a better setup. Even with 18k behind it it will just cruise along. I don't turn it up to often. Just enough to improve economy and towing

cool thanks for the info guys. This spartan seems fine so far. Shifts really well, no smoke and mpg is high 17 ( hand calculated).

Bump for more opinions. I have had 3 well known builders in my area tell me the spartan is junk and will destroy my tranny. Any proof behind this? The truck doesnt like 3rd gear and gets a little confused on an incline, but i have read these trucks are notorious for that no matter whose tunes....help....

Get. Yourself some tunes from Matt Robinson at Gearheadautomotiveperformance.com. He is one of the best Stoker tuners our there. He can tune SCT or MCC on the H&S.
 
Matt's tunes are awesome. I've never cared for Spartan's overly-proprietary tuning...

They're doing some major revision/overhaul of all of their tuning and their hardware, but it still doesn't afford the versatility of H&S MCC :eek:
