Does anyone have any opinions on using the Predator on a ZF6? The truck is an 02 with the jb7 engine. Thanx.

As long as you run the lower tunes you will be ok. The stock flywheels are pretty weak as you will come to find out.

I've been running the 40 HP tune nearly two years now and over 45k miles (currently 95k on the truck). I'm still running the original clutch and flywheel. 120HP seems to slip the clutch more than I like.

Two questions: Do you have any gauges? Do you run any programs other than the 40hp for any extended period? Thanx again.

I do not have any gagues. I would say I run the 40 HP setting 90% of the time. Occasionaly I will load the 65 setting and I actually get better mileage with it at 65!

Thanx for the info. Do you have a stock intake and exhaust also.

I was running an Amsoil airfilter until I looked at the air filter test results here. I'm back to a stock ACDelco paper filter now. I'm still running the OEM exhaust. I'm still thinking of cutting it out though and putting in a straight pipe.
