Attention Predator Owners: Revision Upgrade Instructions!

[RWTD]

Due to an overwhelming response to DiabloSport's latest revision upgrade for the Duramax, I have been asked to post this information in the forum so many owners of the Predator will have the proper information on the revision upgrade, and what to do in order to receive the revision upgrade. Please note, this is not a required update.

The newest revision is v1.07, and the tune levels will be as such: 0, 40, 65, 85, 120 rwhp
Naturally the end-user ability to adjust tire size and axle ratio parameters, as well as speed limiters, will still be standard and included.

All the tunes are new and have been substantially improved upon on the prior last tune update, and all the issues with the overboost codes and triggering limp mode, that some have experienced, have been rectified. These new tunes will consist of greatly improved power, less smoke, excellent shifting (like stock), and lower EGT's. The 65 should put out around 75, the 85 around 100, and the 120 between 115 and 130 depending on the modifications of the vehicle.

Here are the instructions for any current Predator customer that wishes to have revision upgrades performed:

Dear Predator Customer,

In an effort to keep the DiabloSport Predator at the forefront of technology, DiabloSport will offer revisions to the various Predator
applications when need be.

Before returning the predator(but after getting an RMA number), must the user restore the factory programming into the truck and use the truck that way until the updated unit arrives?

If not, how will the updated predator be able to backup the factory information out of the computer the first time that it is plugged into the truck?

Thanks,
-Al

Alan....the last time I sent my predator in for an update, it had to return my truck back to the factory settings.

[RWTD]

Al, yes sir, you are correct, and as NFLDMAX. Here is part of the reply you will receive back once you send in the above information:


Dear Predator/Duramax Customer,

Thank you for contacting us regarding the Predator/Duramax Revision.

The following procedure needs to be followed to return a used Predator for a revision update.

Please plug the Predator into your vehicle and restore the Factory/Stock tune to the vehicle (See operators manual). This must be done to update the unit. Predators received with out the stock tune having been removed, will be shipped back to the customer untouched.Thanks!

It will be interesting to see if v1.07 really reduces the towing EGTs by any appreciable amount.

Sincerely...

Just wanted to continue informing all the current DiabloSport customers about the new revision upgrade that is being offered to them. I'm still getting a lot of requests concerning this, and I wanted to make sure that everyone is still seeing the proper method on having their update performed, since so many are saying they come from here.

Sincerely...

Sincerely...
