Is this a 7.3?
Sounds like a chip is in there, remove it and all is well...

No this is a 6.0L in a 2003 F250, Every time I try to load a program it comes back saying could not save original program with a -10, just had the pcm flashed at the ford dealership.still does the same thing. I have a u1765 programmer. What do I need to do.

Not sure about this...what revision is on the Predator?
Plug the tool in and go to options/troubleshooting/show calid and tell me what it says there as well.

Are you sure the other module is fully disconnected?
Does it start to read and then fail?
What revision is on this tool?

The -10 is telling us the PCM does not have a stock tune.
I'd try reflashing the truck back to stock at the dealer.

It would appear that your Edge device has not come off cleanly...if the PCM is fully stock, the Predator will read it.

tHAT IS JIFFJAR PROBLEM, RATTLER HAS NOITHING ON THE PCM AND PCM IS CLEAN STILL WILL NOT SAVE TUNE, SO IF THERE IS NO CURE AND CAN NOT BE FIX THEN THE DIABLOSPORT WILL NOT WORK AND I CAN GET A REFUND, I WOULD RATHER SEE IT WORKING THAN RETURNI IT, CAN WE FIND A CURE.
