I did some looking around in this forum but have'nt found out what i'm looking for. It seems the fuego (pn#F998917) has replaced the predator?
Anybody have any insight about this??? I was going to buy a predator, but the place I tried to get it from said this superseeded the old part number. Thanks in advance for any help.:help:

Why don't you just buy a predator? Several vendors here sell them. Grantelli does not write any programs. They just repackage stuff.

PS-Grantelli is not to be trusted and I wouldn't buy anything from them. My .02

I guess I'm a little confused. When I do a google search for Granatelli-DiabloSport Predator, they seem to be the same. A direct quote from one of the search results says " Granatelli Motorsports Inc. is the exclusive marketer and distributor of the DiabloSport Predator". I can buy a DiabloSport Predator many places from here to E-bay starting at 299.99, my concern is, has the Predator been replaced by the Fuego, or is the Predator still going to be made in addition to the Fuego? Sorry this is so long and I am confused, but I would like to have as much info as possible to make an informed decision. Thank You.

All Granatelli does is buys the program from DiabloSport, and packages it under the Granatelli label.

If you want Predator I wouldn't buy it from Granatelli thier customer service is not trust worthy.

iroctoy,

Loooong story but they don't buy from Diablo direct, they USED to be their distribution arm but that has been dissolved long ago. They do cut the you know what's out of the price but they don't back it up when you need them later etc.

If you need a Predator call us we stock them direct from Diablo to make sure they have the latest revisions in them etc and of course we have our price guarantee as well to make sure you get it priced right!

Yeah, Granatelli sells snake oil, and their return policy is a joke.

I wouldn't buy a glass of water from them if my foot was on fire.

Thanks for the help guys. This board has been very helpful to new as I am brand new to diesels. I have an 05 da and I love this truck. I think i'll go with the predator eventhough my wife wants the edge becouse of "the cool display in the overhead cubbie hole." Women!!!
