Anyone here use this
Diablo Sport Predator Programmer U7170

any good?

 

To be honest I don't know and don't know anyone who has one. But I myself would talk to Jody at DPTuner not only are they very good at what they do but their customer service is second to none. I have talked to Jody and he has been very helpful and I haven't spent a dime with him yet but I will.

 

I use the u71770 diablosport for about 4 years now... I like it and it has served me very well. It's also a great scanner for the fault codes..and it will adjust your trans shifts to more firm.. and even used it to scan my wifes Cougar... For the money, I would recommend it..

 

There was one on my truck for appx 150000 miles by the PO .. i didn't like the way i had to change programs so i went with DP Tuner..shift on the fly is the only way to go....Yes..Great scanner

 

I'm in the same boat. Mine was on for about 120,000 miles. For plug and play applications without alot of mods it suited me very well. I have since sold it to a buddy who is extremely happy with it. I have since change to a DP but I have no complaints about it execpt the "firm" shift pattern was a little jerky for me.

Good Luck with your decision.

 

Mike, Have you contacted Jody @ DP,? he can change the firmness of the shift..

 

I had one of these and it was sub par and the service I got from them really sucked.
Call DP Tuner or Tony Wildman at Total Performance Diesel and I bet you will be very happy with what you get.
Riffraff(Clay) can help you as well.

 

sorry for the misunderstanding. The firm shift option on the Diablo was jerky not my DP.

 

My diablo shift modification is great... no complaints..

 

The "off the shelf" generic programmers don't offer anywhere near the capabilities of custom tuning by any of the guys mentioned above. I am sure that it is great for scanning for DTC but the technology is sub-par to custom tuning

 

Why? Because the exact same maps and functions of the PCM are changed in both the tuning of the Diablo or any one of the "custom tuners" out there?

 

The quickest way to say this is , even thought they are the same, they are different...every truck responds to different things
