NOT if you don't have any issues--the Predator should work just fine as it is. I would check the mileage first and see how it goes (if you can keep that silly PREDATOR from gluing your foot to the floor all the time!!!!! )

The Predator should come loaded with the latest programing update from Diablo/Motorhaven if purchased there.. The truck shouldn't need a flash to run the tuner.. Then after the install, let it have the 5 warmup/drive cycles before you play hard
