11. Watch the tool, it will reboot once the file has finished transferring. If it is a Predator, wait to see the new revision displayed at the top line of the main menu before unplugging it. At this point, you may take the tool to the vehicle and install the Performance tune.
I did all of the steps listed above. It all worked quickly until now that I'm on step 11. I'm watching the Preditor tool waiting for the re-boot... it has been 5 minutes and the same message is still on the tool's screen and it says "Installing Boot Loader"..... how long should this take?
Any day out on the lake is better then a day at work!
