2006 f250 will not start again, any suggestions?
The first time my truck would not start is because I had the bully dog try before you buy installed prior to the predator. Had the pcm replaced under warranty. Several months later I call diablo, have my predator reset and they assure me nothing is going to go wrong this time. I install the 100hp tune and it works fine, I uninstall it that night and it works fine. The next day I go and start my truck for a couple minutes to warm it up. I go to install the 100hp tune, everything looks to work fine, but then I try to start and it starts for half a second and dies, I try it 5 times and the same thing happens. I put my truck back to factory and the same thing keeps happening. Turns over, sounds like it fires up, then dies immediately without idling. any suggestions? I am really pissed, and thought about taping the tuner to the bumper and pushing the truck down my hill into a tree. I have to finish a job tomorrow and this truck is my life line. Please help if you can.

If you restored the original backup and the issue persists than there is probably something else wrong.

Well, after getting towed in for the second time, the ford dealership called and said that there was an internal short in the pcm and asked if I had installed a tuner of some sort because they can't figure out how it happened a second time to the same truck. This makes 2 pcm's fried by the predator. So is this a common thing with these trucks, or is it common for this tuner or what? Is my tuner bad? I have it on ebay, but don't want to sell someone a P.O.S. that is going to break their truck. Needless to say I am pretty disappointed with the product and how you keep saying it is not the tuner, I have had no problems with the truck except for the 2 times I have plugged this thing in and resulted in a shorted pcm. So what do I do with this tuner???

Tuner Fried my pcm a couple months ago. I,v not even tried to reinstall it sence i got the truck back for fear it will happen again.
I,ll probly just make a $400.00 paper weight out of it and go with a differant tuner.

I wish I would have not tried to reinstall it either, I guess that is ignorance on my part, and diablosport assuring me that it doesn't cause such problems. They need a disclaimer saying it could leave you stranded. I am lucky that ford is covering a second PCM, my warranty runs out soon. Do you think another type of tuner is safe?
