safe to tune?

[matt197]

hoping someone can answer this but, i ended up getting 2 vins in my computer, sent in my predator to get reset, did that, and then my computer wasnt any good. My old pcm thought it was a manual....i installed a tune into it to see if it would change anything and it didnt, so i went and bought a new pcm

Now im curious if the predator can tell a difference between a manual truck and an automatic. To be honest im scared to install it after my last round of problems. I dont want to install it and then make my new pcm think its a manual transmission when its not(thus messing up the new pcm). Can a predator do this??

Your problem was due to the fact that your tuner was locked to another truck and you let it restore a stock tune to your truck that did not belong to it.

As long as the tool is reset, and only used in your truck properly, you'll be fine

okay, is there a way to check to see if it reset?

Options/show last tune written should say original backup.

i swapped the 7130 back and forth with my dads 03 manual and my 04 manual,i wonder if we swapped vin sometimes,we both have manuals so i guess it wouldnt matter eitherway,he wouldnt give it back the last time so i had to get another one haha

As long as you restore properly between trucks, you are fine.
