After warranty repair my Predator still does not work.

Post by superbee69 »

I purchased my predator in September of last year. Used it for about 3 weeks then reinstalled my stock tune for the winter. This spring I updated my tool, tried to install a performance tune. I kept getting a PCM error message. I then called tech support 5 times in May. Each time I called, they were very helpfully in trying to resolve my issue. In my last phone call with then, I was told to return the tool for warranty repair, which I did,

I finally got my predator back today after a month of waiting and I sill can't install a tune. I still have the same PCM error message -1 That is the reason I sent the tool in for repair in the first place. They did a forced calibration update, I don't know why, that was done on the phone with tech support.

So for I have spent for the initial cost of the tool plus $54.00 to ship it for repair and I had to pay Fex-ex $12.00 to have it delivered to my home. Which totals to $427.84 and I still don't have a tool that works.
Now what !!! it's obvious that the warranty work had not been done properly. Well Diablo Sport reimburse for the money I spent on the Predator or well they provide me with a new tool?

Sorry for the long winded message, but this is very frustrating for me. I just want this thing fixed. How do we resolve this issue ?

I have a 2009 Hemi Ram Predator # U7137X

I called tech support today and was dealing with Bas. I have to admit, He is excellent in his people skills. After a few minutes of conversation with him, he suggested that we should give it a try as he thought he might have an idea what the problem with my predator might be. He fixed what everyone else could not. The tool is working perfectly. I feel like a weight has been lifted off me. I'm extremely happy with the way I had been treated and I'm impressed with his knowledge. A big high 5 to Bas and thank you.
