Default Anyone interested in a Predator DS?

About 6 weeks old. My truck is back to stock and latest updates are on it, ready to plug in and go. These things are not playing well with the 09 Hemi and to be honest I am done screwing with it. From what I understand it works well on the 3rd gen Hemi.

$260 shipped to your door (if you are in the continental US). Pickup is possible if you are local. No international shipments, sorry. Price is firm, to buy new would be 330ish with the data cable plus ship, although you probably can find vendors offering free shipment. Goes on EBay in a week if no one here wants it.

Includes the programmer, USB to serial cable and AC adapter so you can hook it to your computer. Will even include the window sticker.

Some are having ping issues.

My Fuel Saver light not working correctly (that bothered me but did not make me say get rid of it)

When it got colder if I nail it at 45ish the engine is either choking or the tranny attempts to downshift and go back, downshift and go back several times before it decides to "unleash hell". That was a back breaker.... Not going to mess up my tranny or engine. Someone said their is a winter tune, not true. Two canned tunes for the 09 are the 87 and 93. No 91 tune or winter.

Support is poor.

They will probably figure it all out, but again, I am not doing it at my trucks expense and should not have to let my money sit in a box while they take their sweet old time figuring it out. Will probably try a SC when they get one done.

I bought it off EBay and the USB-Serial cable from Summit.

U7137. 2003-2009 Hemi Ram, as well as others.

Lol, I know what you mean. I had one for a while and trying to get an answer about 04 trans support is like pulling teeth.

i have full trans support on mine and have had no issues with it at all. Sorry its not working out for you 09 guys. IMO it really seemed like they rushed the tuning for the 09's.
