Well gents i just sold the EFI live and got myself an ez-link
It was a tough choice as i prefer the EFI live but on thing the ez link does that the efi does not is i can tune my SXS with the ez link so i dont see a point in running 2 different tuning devices

Isn't ez lynk locks into a VIN?
How would you use it on 2 vehicles is that's the case?

Well should have looked into this before making a switch. EFI Live can be used on up to 32 vehicles I believe (I think it says so on their product page), others lock into VIN. That's why you don't see any newer programmers for sale by themselves, they're just paperweight when removed from a vehicle they were used in.

Efi is good for 600 vehicles at one time only the tunes are vin locked…

Ez lynk is not vin locked and can be used on multiple vehicles at once- this is right from EZ Lynk ( they don't specify a limit) but their claim to fame acording to their site is being able to be used for large fleets with one unit

So it is the solution for me wanting it for my SXS also the unlimited support is great

The MM3 is the only one that is vin locked unless returned to stock on the original vehicle

I love the EFI live i wish they would offer power sports tuning capability

Switched to Proven. Detailed and proper review will be posted when I have the time and even more experience. But I will say, night and day difference in every good way. 0 lugging, more power, cleaner overall in feel, sound & fuel delivery near no smoke but more power even in lower ''HP'' tune levels than Optimal. Wow is all I can say every time I drive the truck these days. So thankful I did it. Also, I have both Optimal and Driven on my EZLynk in case anyone wondered as I did previously if one would delete for the other to be put in place.

Welcome to the dark side of quality tuners, proven is not bad

Have it flashed to stock from the dealer then load your own tuner/tunes of choice

That going to mess with how the truck runs or just throw CEL? How much they normally charge for that? Was told that the ez lynk can reset to stock…that but true?

I'm not sure if there was a "limp" mode on the '13 but this is what will happen to 19+. It will obviously throw a CEL and will give you a warning that it will go into a limp mode in XXX miles. Depending where you live you should be able to make it home without any headaches. But folks with tuners usually reload their tune while on dealer's lot.
EZ Lynk and any other tuner can revert (not reset) back to stock IF it was used for tuning. Basically a tuner would save a stock tune in it's memory and could flash it back, but since you didn't get the tuner with your truck, you don't have this option.
