Diablo Predator review on my 05 3V
Here it is...
2005 F250 Crew Cab Shortbed Lariat 4.10LS on 285/70/17 MTs cat back with a Flowmaster 40 with Duals out at 45s K&N drop in that I freshly cleaned and reoiled. New fuel filter, freshly cleaned MAF, and cleaned the throttle body.
Expectations: little to none from what i read on here
Stock tuning: 0-60 isn't the best. Not what I was worried about. Limited slip works excellent although I could get the tires to bark. Towing was smooth but gear hunting was an issue loaded or unloaded. I live in a hilly area. 55-80 was sluggish loaded or unloaded.
With 87 tune via diablo with custom parameter set to 4.10 gear-wow, it's a totally different truck. Shifts are crisper with a better firm feeling. It's 2 am here so I really got to test it out. I stomped it from a stop and i couldn't keep the tires from spinning whatsoever. Sideways on dry pavement! 0-60 increased even with tire spin. 55-80 was definitely faster and smoother. Very excited to see what towing is like now. Obviously couldn't tell what my mpg will be like, I will update everyone. Im getting about 10.1 now.
I'm happy with this tuner, If everyone is bragging about 5 star, I couldn't imagine what it would be like! For free, I will never complain ever about this. I had a 2000 Durango R/T before that was programmed on 93 tune, full exhaust minus headers, ram aired with a bigger throttle body and this truck could easily have raced it and won. I'm surprised the Diablo Predator has left a bad taste in everyone's mout honestly. I'm very happy with the power my truck has now!!
