Yes sir... Well I just got of the phone with the guys over at diablo just doing my routine check in with them and ask them about the release of the 05-06 Hemi predator and was told it will be released today!!!!!!!!!!! Yup, so of coursed i ordered it and it will be shipped out tomorrow. Some of you guys know how long i've been pushing for this. lol
I bought a predator last week and should be receiving it today or tomorrow. I just filled up with 89 octane which is what I've put in the jeep for 4 years. What happens if I install the 91 performance tune and I'm running on 89. Should I just wait until the next fill up before installing the tune.
can i just add a bottle of octane boost to the 89 that's in the tank and install the 91 tune. you know how it is when you get a new toy. i don't want to wait a week before i install it. http://www.autobarn.net/nosocboosoff.html
i had the cmr dealer install the 91 tune today even though i have a full tank of 89 octane in the jeep. he said that it's fine to run it on 89 you just won't get all the performance out of the tune. he said it won't affect any knock sensors or cause any pinging. he said to get the full hp/tq i'd have to use 91 octane.
i was told those cans of octane boost dont really work.. or atleast you need to add a ridiculous amount to increase one octane.. That is what the guy at autozone told me. I cant want to order my diablo.. Where is the best place to order it.. Can you just order it from anyone that has them? Are there actually different predators, or is it just the software that is loaded on it? So if i order from anyone i will just have to download the latest software for the 05 Jeep?
there are hundreds of online places to order them or you can go directly through diablosport and buy on their website. i did a dealer locator and had them order it. they included the pc interface kit and installed the tune for me. no shipping. I paid $375. they did have to upload an update before installing the tune.
so you have to download the tune from diablo for our jeep (89, 91, 93 etc..) and the update is so it works on 05 jeep? what about tire size, shift points etc.. that is all on the diablo correct?
You will also need a serial to USB adapter to connect to your computer... Look at about 5 bucks on amazon to about 15 bucks at a computer store... just dont get the belkin brand ones
the tune is pre-installed on the predator. the update is so that the tuner recognizes your specific jeep and is paired with it. 93 octane, 91 octane, 87 octane, and modify stock tune come pre-installed.
Just installed the 87 tune, very impressed. I have a quarter tank left of 87, i'm waiting to burn that then filling up with 93. I was expecting to have an 87tune/87CAI, 91tune/91CAI, etc.. Is this not an option anymore or am i doing something wrong? All i have is 87,91,93 and modify factory?
This was brought up on the Diablo forums and according to "their research" a CAI has no significant improvements on the gc hemi engine so it's not included in their canned tunes b/c "there's no point"
I don't know what their smoking but any proper cai offered for the hemi improves the performance.. I've had three (aem, volant, bwoody) and each one showed improvements over the stock air box.
those are the only ones available for the u7137. you can also get a custom tune done. the jeep srt8 and the lx cars all have a 91 cai tune and a 93 cai tune.
yeah, idk i installed the 93 tune tonight and i have an intake, i am pleased with it but would maybe consider a cmr tune someday. I am not confident in modifying the fuel or spark on the canned tunes
Hey guys I've been away from the board for the last couple weeks... been out on business and really didn't have any time to keep up. Anyway, was just wondering if there was a fix to get in and adjust things with the predator now? I want to disable MDS and correct my tire size but before when that 9T06 (IIRC) crom came out, I was able to load a tune but couldn't get in to change stuff like I wanted.
I wanna buy one for an 06 GC 5.7 Hemi also. Are there any issues with the current predators? And the only thing the trinity gets you is a fancy interface and gauges, correct? The regular predator can scan for codes also?
I am really interested in knowing is all the firmware updates are completed and if there are any issues out there for use with an 06?
This will be a fathers day gift and my father really hates the sluggish shifts, which according to the posts I've read. The 93 octane tune really helps that a lot. We have 93 octane readily available so that is not an issue.
I am not so interested in data logging or even the gauges. I am really interested in the tune and the transmission changes that go with it. The torque management is terrible. It shifts like a caddy.
I saw on the predator forum a list of menus for the regular predator, and it did not show a 93octane tune. I may have been looking at the wrong model, but I hope they still have that tune as that is the one that everyone seems to really like.
