All I can say is that i've never had a problem with any predator tune in any vehicle. When reading horror stories there's always holes...they're usually highly modded or on a high mileage tranny that would've went out with any line pressure increase from any tuner. Or they're third person stories which are always reliable. Take everything with a grain of salt man..

here's a new one. ditched the mileage XS to try the 91 tune.
Truck seemed fine at first. But after every turn on, after the first up****, once I stop it feels like it's got no power. like seriously, damn near NO power. I could floor it and it takes about 8 seconds to get to 30 mph. at some point something kicks in and the wheels go spinning. If i put it in tow/haul, then all is well. and once i'm up to speed, it's fine as well. what gives??

I put about 80 miles or so on the new update yeasterday. It gave a nice improvement on the driveability of the truck. The 45mph bog is almost completely gone. In the past the truck would bog down around 45mph under light throttle and chug along at way too low of an rpm. Now it is not doing it nearly as much. It feels as though the trans is holding the gear longer so that I do not get in too high of a gear for the speed that I am cruising at.

Got on the HIGH END forums yesterday, you know the ones by performance shop guys/ for performance shop guys. A lot of buzz about staying away from the Predator! Plus I made inquieries to three of the top Hemi Performance guru's in the country yesterday as well. Mainly because I was considering a Diablo with the custom tune for my cam swap. The SCT just doesn't offer features for the '04s yet that the Superchips and Diablo offer. Two responded and both advised to stay away from the Predator at this time, they've seen too many roasted trannies personally.
Enough for me...

Of the two that responded to me yesterday, one was Hemifever, who has stopped custom programming the Predator. He said no question, they are roasting transmissions and advised if I could live without some of the features like tire size calibration, to have him or Marty at KRC do a tune with the SCT. My other option is to stick with the Superchips and go with a piggyback to tame the cam.
