I will not have access to a computer tomorrow to check this superchip vs. predator post that will be posted sometime between 0900-1700hrs eastern standard time. I must order a unit tomorrow morning via cell phone to ensure it gets overnighted in order to make sure I have it before I clear my quarters....SO
Numbers aside which is it??????

Last question..
Vic elluded to the fact that it's safe to run the superchip on a stock truck. Since I don't have any guages, I am guessing its ok to run the middle program...would I need to limit my driving in any way on this setting to be safe?

Same as if your truck was still stock, use common sense while driving and don't exceed towing capacity for each program.
The tow program can be used for loads as heavy as your Ford owners manual will allow.

Vic,
PCM sticker states the following: TBS5 DPU-252A, Will this work? Another poster earlier had the same thing but he mis-typed TB55 and you told him it was the wrong nomenclature.
