I was looking at the Diablosport Predator U7137. I have heard good thing from that brand from friends with other vehicles but have not tried it, I am waiting to see if Superchips comes out with somthing for the 09 hemi, I had one in my 2006 and it was great.

If you want the DS I am sure there is one or two on here that would sell you one (myself included). I tried running the 87 tune but noticed some spark knock coming out of MDS, not everytime, but enough for me to not want to run the 87. And the 93 has a downshift issue in the cold.

There's lots of threads on this in the forum.... but to summarize:

1) Lots of people have reported problems with the Predator...mostly tranny issues and some knock issues.
2) A few have reported no problems with minor performance gains...
3) All agree that we still don't have a 100% solid tuner for our trucks yet and are waiting to see what comes out in the next 6 months or so....

If I'm wrong, please, someone educate me, 'cause apparently I'm confused....

ive got the bully dog GT tuner, which I purchased when it was first released for the 09's. After a few minor problems (all of which were fixed within a week of me notifying them) its running strong and I get noticeably better mileage.

I've been waiting for a solid programmer to come out myself. I don't think that any are worth it at this time, at least until they refine their programs.

i have the jet chip stage 2. i notice a big difference in power and shifting, and in my gas mileage. im down to like 12 mpg lol. i thought putting a intake and chip in would help gas mileage, i guess not. one thing i can say though i still have a tranny and i dont hear any pinging. = diablo tuner for dodges.

I've had such great results and SUPPORT from Superchips (on my Dakota), I will wait until they offer a tune for my Cortex 3950.

the Superchips tuner is probably the best bang for the buck. It's 100% seat of the pants noticable and turns the truck into a sports cars.
