Yeah, it's a tough decision. We don't want to leave anyone with no choice but to use another product but there simply are too many 03's with serious issues from the factory.

No, I can't blame them in the least what with the cajillion number recalibrations out there for the '03's.

Just the same, I think I'll sit tight. Truck runs excellent, always has. Now that they are changing up the operation of the trannys and I sure don't want to get rid of my pilot injection, they can have the "latest and greatest" reflash. I'll see what comes along down the road, still pretty early in the game with the 6.0.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

Is that right? I have read that some guys have hooked up the Predator and it errors, saying it can't do it? I wonder if it only will work on flashes that are only so far back?

How about enlightening me some?

What about 2004s with late 2003 engines?

Mine is a June 03 build date with the original flash and my predator works perfectly.

Diablo on guarantees October 2003 and newer flashes. Too soon for specifics with Superchips.

Any opinions on features between Superchips and Preditor? Just from my uneducated view...looks like Superchips would be better due to the fact that it can do everything the Preditor can, PLUS allow you to change tire sizes.

Thoughts?

The Superchips Microtuner for the 6.0 doesn't even exist yet, and the specs do not include tire size calibration on the diesels. For the 6.0 the Predator is the only game in town.

Superchips 6.0L

Who said superchips was or was not doing gear and tire for the 6.0L?

Wait for the superchips unit; it is going to be the best tune (and most HP)available.

Ken,
I called you early last week. Did you get my message?
I'll try calling you later today if at all possible.
