Thanks but I don't want to spend anymore money on this. I actually bought another Predator from a local guy and it's for a friend in Illinois. The price was too good to pass up but it's got the R04 update in it and not the 05. I am just gonna send it to him like this and see if he can update it. My ...

Windows XP.

I have two ports and have tried them both. I have also unhooked the Predator multiple times while in the process of doing this and it does not help. It's definitely something to do with the USB driver. It uploads to my computer but then tells me there is a problem with the install and ...

It's not a laptop. Well, the issue seems to be that the driver is not working properly and even removing it and re-installing it is not helping. I guess the easiest thing to do is go to Radio shack and get a different USB cable WITH a driver and try that...

Concoursd, I'm no computer genius so I ...

I swear! Everytime I go to update my Predator I have problems connecting to the computer! If it worked last time then why can't I make it connect this time? I have loaded, removed, reloaded, rebooted, unplugged, replugged.
I'm about to throw it against the wall !!!!

So, now that I said all that ...

Unfortunately for me, my poor idle stayed the same after removing my Predator. I guess I'm glad the programmer is not screwed up but that means I have issues elsewhere......

I'm having the exact same issue with my 7130 model Predator installed on my early 04 truck. I'm pulling it off this morning to see if it is indeed the Predator programming that is causing this. The truck runs and performs great otherwise but it really sounds bad when high-idling......

Sweet! You need to get that thing on the dyno now.......

I ran the RKL tunes on the 07 dually 6-speed I had. It was awesome. I will NOT be running that tune on this truck any time soon. (Stock trans)

Thanks. Truck is running fine and the bit of timing rattle goes away when the engine heats up a bit. No more ABS/Brake light either. The best thing is that my Keycounts are no longer wiped out.....

Finally loaded this back into my truck this evening. I immediately got an ABS/Brake light which would not go away until I drove about 50'. We'll see if that comes back tomorrow.
I also have some noticeable timing rattle when it's cold that was not there before. The truck definitely feels more ...

RKL is not good for your trans and you have probably already damaged it. A valve body and TC will do you some good but I would definitely pull the trans apart while it's out and check all the clutches and bands....

Thanks. I now see that the directions you can download do indeed tell you that you need the driver. I'm an idiot for not noticing that when I was reading it.

Got it done and tune is now loaded into the tool here at work. (Not me! The Predator!)

Thanks for the help guys....

Seems like that would be in the INSTRUCTIONS or part of the DOWNLOADER file. GEEZUS!!!!

Just for S&G I just tried this at home again. No dice so I deleted it, again, and reloaded it. It still does not tell me I have to reboot in order for it to work right. I even downloaded the XP zip file to see if that would help any. NOPE!

So, do I need a driver for the USB cable that connects the ...

Well, I just DL'd the downloader here at work and I already see one difference which could be major. This time it told me to reboot the computer or it would not work. When I did this at home it definitely did not tell me that and I did NOT reboot. Kind of strange......

I did everything except reboot the computer. I will try that today. I wonder if I should do it here at work. My wife has so many programs that are always running anytime that computer is on and maybe that's causing the problems. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm going to DL the downloader program here ...
