99 S-duty predator problem

I put a predator module on my 99 F350 P-stroke and loved it for one tank. Today while pulling steep grade in "towing" mode, my check engine light came on. I turned the switch to off. A few minutes later it started smoking badly and nearly died. I removed the tuner and disconnected the battery for 1/2 hour. I was able to get it home, but it runs like <b>edited for language by admin</b><!-- *****-->. The truck has 60,000 miles and ran perfectly before this incident. I called the supplier who said he called Predator (Diablo?). He said that the ICP sensor probablt y failed and that it was a common Ford problem that I should have been aware of. The check engine light has not come back on, still runs terribly. Any ideas???? Sorry, I do not have a code reader, off to Ford for help??

Is this a chip or a Dr. Performance Predator?

The reason I ask is the the Dr. Performance "Predator" is not a Diablo product. It sound's like that is what you have.

Does this have a small metal three-way toggle switch with stock and two power settings? Where is the module plugged into the truck?

It is a Predator Stage II, part number 3020, item number 5060040, serial number 0001023. I appreciate any help you can give, I'm about to have it towed to the nearesd Ford dealer.

That's not a Diablo product. Its a Dr. Performance product. Its not a chip or tuner, its a fueling box that works by upping the signal to the ICP.
