well, I assume you COULD as long as the CAL ID on your PCM is supported by the tool's revision.

NORMALLY, it will just fail to write the tune if the truck's/car's CAL ID is not supported, but shouldn't disable your truck if the CAL ID of the new ECM isn't supported.

You'd just be left with an untuned vehicle.

You could give it a shot.

DISCLAIMER: Notice the words could and should.... it seems right now that things are in a minor state of "flux" with the GM Tech II and the Y Motors.

did you restore the original backup to the truck first, to unlock the predator???

if not, then no... the predator will still be locked to the old/original ECM...

Hey Gump I am in the same boat. New factory PCM and my Predator is reset and has 9r05. Just waiting on you man. Factory tune with different tire size is a pain when going by a trooper. Post when/if you try to install tune.

Yeah i am pretty sure the predator, nor any other GM flash tool will work on your truck right now, we are working on a fix for this.
