will a predator marked for an 05 model work on an o4

[ridgetd]

I HAVE A CHANCE TO PURCHASE A USED PREDATOR FROM A LOCAL OFF-ROAD SHOP , BUT IT IS LABELED ON THE BACK FOR AN 05 DIESEL MODEL. I HAVE AN 04 DIESEL , THEY SAID IT WILL WORK. THAT IT JUST MAY NEED TO BE UPGRADED WITH NEW DOWNLOADS? ANY HELP IN THIS WOULD BE AWESOME , BECAUSE IF IT WILL WORK I CAN PURCHASE IT AT A GREAT PRICE.

ridgetd, YES THE U7165 WILL WORK ON ALL 6.0L FORDS FROM 03-07.AND ALSO IT IS CORRECT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO BE UPDATED DEPENDING ON YOUR PCM.I WOULD TRY IT FIRST BEFORE I UPDATED IT.IF YOU CAN POST THE CURRENT REVISION IN THE TOOL.I AM CURRENTLY RUNNING THE 9R03 REV. AND IT WORKS WELL FOR ME.

I will warn that if for some reason the tool is locked, it will not work.
Be sure they are prepared to reimburse you if you plan on buying a used tool, as it is not something we recommend...

Thanks
