Interesting Predator Stuff

Been playing with the predator. Put it on streaming mode and used the cmr_dat software with my laptop. Some things I don't understand yet (pids) so will wait before I post on that, but the possibilities look promising. On streaming mode you can get real time data thru the predator (log it or not). My mph on the speedo is off by 2mph. I first noticed this using my magellan gps. Also, unit shows percent fuel in tank, verified this by doing the math at fillup. The fuel gauge is off. Predator percentage is more accurate. If you have the predator, look at all the cool stuff you can do with it. I cant see the engine build date, the door sticker says 03/04. So far I love this truck and have no issues. Mileage is OK, range 16-19 hand calc. I have an '04 F250 SC LWB 6sp, ISSPRO pyro and boost gauges pillar mount. Comments?

That is about as far as I got. According to diablo, they were supposed to come out with more development in the diagnostic area in the future (whenever that is). I also just got the Ford documentation I have been looking for some PID information.

Yeah, when Choctaw Bob and I met up at the drag strip...
there was a guy with a Pontiac something that had the v6 supercharged and he had his laptop on the seat next to him so it would record the stuff and he could change parameters...

But still beat the teetee out of him on the strip
"What the "Heck" you done to that thing ?" when we got back to the staging area..
