Well.... I don't have to mess with the Predator any more for a while. Car got nailed by a high schooler on 9/4. So for right now, am trying to find a body shop that I trust.

One of the body shops that I'm considering is a Dodge dealership, so if I pick them, I'll do the PCM/TCM updates there along ...

Will do Quick. In a previous post Raven3416 indicated he had to get an updated cal id from DS after the dealer updated his car.

Ok, finally back with another update. For lack of any other rational option, I'm gonna try Raven3416's route. Mine has a 12/08 manufacture date, so no doubt there are updates for mine also that may cause the car to behave better. I need to take the car to the dealer to have some body issues taken ...

I've got a sort of an update. Vas forwarded a custom tune that I think Johan built. I've been running it for 4 days now. On the positive side(for me at least), the drivability is back. I think what they did was to return the torque management back to stock. I asked what the other if any take backs ...

I've been watching the real time data during the commutes home in the afternoon. Unfortunately, the Predator doesn't access such things as MDS status, gear value or torque converter lock up, so I can't see first hand what the transmission is doing, I have to infer from the feel of the car. The last ...

I don't mind stiffer shifts and sharper MDS transitions. But the tranny controller gets really screwed up. I went back to stock for a couple days to remind myself how nicely the car behaved in traffic. Yesterday, the 91 CAI tune was back in it and things were fine. MDS transitions were a bit sharper ...

Hey guys, Vas has PM'd be back - he was buried under Trinity work. He asked for some data files from my car and I pointed him to what Raven3416 already has available at the start of this thread. I also let Vas know that Raven3416 offered his car up as a test mule if that would help - hope that was ...

Looks like we might be adding to the database here Raven3416. I also had the perception that the problem was temperature sensitive. As in your case, I had instances where I got what I called slam shifts out of the tranny - but then those went away. In the morning here in Houston, air temps are mid ...

RE: Re: RE: Re: Transmission Shit Issues with Predator

Here has been my experience so far with the 91 CAI tune on the 5.7 auto. Pretty much a duplicate of Raven3416's experience. Some days the car is ok and others it ain't worth a sh*t to drive in traffic. It can't decide to do MDS in/out, or which gear. Occasionally it does the tranny in 5th, MDS on ...
