Predator Question

After installing my Predator ( best thing in the world), my tow/haul button on the shift lever does not seem to work. Is this normal?

Not at ALL !
Mine works fine with any of the predator tunes...
I use T/H as an exhaust-brake

When you first plug the predator in, it goes thru a boot sequence and shows the revision numbet... like r28 or r33...
which one is yours?
***********************

Would suggest you go back to stock...
drive it around a bit and test the tow haul...

If it doesn't work then, it's not the predator...

if it works then, reinstall the predator tune to see if you had a bad "install" ...

if still not working... call whomever sold you it or Diablo...

good luck !!!

and want some fun ?
first time I tried it at the drags yesterday...
STAND on the brakes with your left foot...
give it about half throttle to get the rpms up to about 2000,
let it build boost for a sec...
hold on as you floor it and release the brake
In 4x4 the 8K Ex hooks up and GOES.....
in 4x2 with a little water... Choctaw Bob spun his tires the whole 1/8 mile - and STILL caught the tricked out truck at the line !
