09 Chevy Silverado with Preditor

Post by marshall2 »

Part #U7194 I have an 09 silverado. Just bought the Preditor today. When i plug in it says it is downloading backup. Then it says to modify tune. when i press that it pops up that i have to call A phone number that is disconnected. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am also A novice to this. Does the fueler not have A download for the 09's and I have to buy the USB cable??

you have an unsupported CALID. basically, your vehicles software is not in the list of supported software the predator recognizes. No big deal.

You definitely need to get a PC Interface Kit. The correct phone number for diablosport is 800-531-5484. they are open monday - friday 9-5PM Eastern time.

First, RESTORE YOUR ORIGINAL BACKUP to the truck. Do not perform an update unless this has been done properly as this will corrupt your stock settings.

Next, I would get a PC Interface kit locally. You can find the PC Interface Kit Specs here: http://diablosport.com/downloads/predat ... 0rev_4.doc

Once you have that, download the latest beta crom which has the latest CALID's added here: http://diablosport.com/downloads/predat ... 9t09h.crom

Then download the DSDownloader Software from here: http://diablosport.com/CMR/software/Gen ... .2.1.4.exe

Follow the Revision Update instructions and update the Predator with the latest beta crom.

Then re-attempt installation. If it still give you the error message after updating the Predator, then you will need to extract the recorded original backup (stock gm file) from the predator using the DSDownloader software and email it to Johan at [email protected] and let him know that the latest beta crom does not support your vehicle. They will read it and publish a new beta crom for your truck's software. This can take a day to a week usually.
