Do i need to update my Predator?

[duramax07tmd]

My predator is the V.8r20 Is there any new updates that would require me to update my predator? I have never updated it since i have had it. Also i have a Mac, can u use the software for the predator on a mac?

Our software is windows based.
The current version you have should work fine, but if it goes to the dealer for any reason, you will want to update it for sure.

My turbo vane positioning sensor went out a few months ago and returned it back to stock and they didnt say anything about it. What does the new software have to do with taking it to the dealer? Is it because they can detect that i had it hooked up? And by the way i have to take my truck in to the dealer this thursday because of my intermediate steering shaft is bad. Should i try and update it?

Thanks

The reason you want to go back to stock is so if they reflash the PCM you dont have to jump through hoops to get the tool reset, nor do you ever want to roll into a dealer for warranty work with an aftermarket tune installed.

Restore the backup, go to the dealer, update the pred, then put it back in.

ok so its fine if i return it back to stock and take it in tomorrow then update it when i get it back? They wont be able to tell it was hooked up before i update my predator?

Thanks
