Talking Predator Force Backup

Well I had to force the original tune into my truck since my dealer flashed the truck the other day when it went into the shop. I forgot to uninstall the Predator before taking it in for a rough idle problem. I know, I know that was dumb but we were having a busy day at work and just forgot. Anyways I got the truck back and they reflashed it with what I am assuming is the Dec. flash that makes the idle noisy. So when I forced the original tune it took it back to the Oct. flash which has the nice quiet idle, almost like P/I. Just food for thought for you boys out there that want your quiet idle back.

I have ALWAYS reloaded my original tune before getting within 100 yards of the dealer. I keep noticing they do these unrequested inspections for me. So no, I don't have that early a flash saved.
