When stacking should you do it in any specific order? In other words, should I put my VA box on and then reprogram the ECM with my PPE? Or, should I reprogram my ECM with the PPE and then install my VA box? Or does it not make a difference?
thanks

I will be corrected if I am wrong, but I believe the best thing to do would be to program with PPE first and then plug in the VA Harnesses!

Interesting...I was thinking the other way around...wish someone who knows for sure would chime in here.

It doesn't matter. The PPE rewrites the ECM calibration and the VA alters the programming while the engine is running. The VA won't do anything to the PPE while it's programming the ECM.

I've done it every different way, never made a difference.

I've found with my hypertech(shaddup!!! ;) ) that i had to unhook the edge to get it to program properly. I would reprogram first, then install the box.

That's probably the safest way but I never had a problem programming my truck with the Predator with the edge hooked up to it. I guess maybe the hypertech may just be even pickier than the Predator.
