Well... I got the Predator today and couldn't wait to get it in the truck. After trying the first time and getting read errors I called Diablo and found out I missed taking out a fuse. With that problem fixed the program downloaded without any problems. I chose the 60 HP setting. When I started up the truck I could tell no difference. After a good warm up period I took it out to the street. Right away I noticed more get up with less throtle. Ater a few miles I got on it. The power was real nice. The truck took off like a rocket. I noticed my Transmition shifting real hard and going back and fourth between gears but this should stop with a bit of driving. It has to "re-learn" the power. I turned around and got back on the road and floored it. After a big cloud of black exhaust smoke I noticed the rear tires smoking a bit also :D

Overall I like the Predator and will update you guys on how long the learning process is for my tranny.

I have driven a truck with the Edge system set on 5, and that was unreal!!! i don't see how a stock trans could handle all that power.

See you guys down the road.

The stock tranny doesn't like the Edge on 5 for long. It will limp it eventually. Give the tranny a couple of days and it should shift fine as long as you keep the same program installed. Have fun.
