Installed the 87 tune last week. Truck is an '04 2500HD 8.1L/Allison 4x4 ecsb. Quite the change and was very pleased with results. However, curiosity got the better of me and I decided to give the 93 tune a whirl. Tank was empty so I gave it a drink of 10 gallons of 93 octane. Then back home to install the 93 tune. Did just that, installed the tune of which I guess overwrites existing tune in the truck. However, in searching around the site I read somewhere when you upgrade to the 93 tune from 87, you need to reinstall the factory GM tune. Then back it up again then dump the 93 tune in it.
Sooooooo, long story short........ do I have to start from a factory tune before installing ANY of the Predator tunes? Meaning, with an 87 tune installed can a 93 be installed over it? Then can I go back to the 87 tune without reinstalling factory tune first? According to the "last tune installed" menu....... it said it had the "Diablo Tune" in in. If I am not mistaken, the 87 tune is called the "Diablo Sport Tune". Look forward to hearing back.
On another note, the change is incredible with this 496 cubic inch monster. A weeeeee bit of brake torquing to break the tires loose, then stay in the throttle

Wooooooooooooow, the tuner really wakes up the sleeping giant of an engine. It will now smoke tires all the way through 3rd gear! Of course, this isn't my normal driving style. Just had to "play" a little. Very pleased. Wish you guys made/offered decals......... I need to advertise. Well, then again......... maybe not, don't want everyone knowing what the truck is cabable of
