have you gotten your fueling adjusted correctly yet??

that will give you more throttle response, better acceleration, stronger/harder pull, and better mileage to boot!

here's info:

Hi i was just curious if there is a way to check the status on a programmer that was sent in for a hardware upgrade? If not is there a way to see when they ship it?

Thanks Matt

OK, just got back my U7193 from Diablo. (had it upgraded). The tool lets me go through all the steps to modify tune, but when I go to install it, it gets to 4-5% then gives me an "unknown error ()" message. In the tool menu, it doesnt show anything for hardware or Bus, and shows the Bus as untested. What gives? $115 is a lot to spend on something that doesnt work. 2003 Silverado 5.3.

Also, after trying to install, I am getting a "Service Brake Booster" message.

The "service brake booster" message went away. Called tech support cause the tool read "Illegal Programing" when I tried again. Made sure to unplug the fuses and such, still not working. Keep getting "Unknown Error". Im gonna try another Predator to see if the upgraded one is just crap.

OK, just checked...my upgrade is crap. I have a U7193 for my lifted 2005 Silverado. Put it back to stock and ran that predator on my 2003, worked like a charm. Tried to use my "Upgraded" predator in my 2005, did not work, "Unknown Error" again. Which is crappy because before the "upgrade" I could at least use it on the 2005. So now Ive spent about $115 for an upgrade that doesnt work. Any help?

no... the PCM's are different... you can not make the 7194 work on the 06 gmc... you'll need to buy the correct predator for that 06 truck...

because now you introduced more air intake/flow, so you have to get your fueling re-adjusted now...

do some logging and get your fuel trims dialed in...

Hi Mike, I have a 2004 chevy 2500HD and am using the U7193, are there any upgrade avaliable for me so I can set the program for the exhaust and intake I have on the 6.0L motor? Also, can i download the udates and if so, how do I do it?

Regards,

Mike

wow, that's old... don't use it on your vehicle until you update it...

no, no hardware upgrade needed... you can download the new crom revision update, and update the predator yourself to the latest version.

the crom revision update file, and dsdownloader program you'll need can be found here, along with revision update instructions:
