help about predator?
Ok get my DS predator yesterday and when i go to do the power tune any level it say it may already have a tune so i looked at the computer and sure as 
the plastic was cut like something was there before so i called motorhaven they gave me DS # they said unplug your trailer brake if that dont work have ford reflash it. Ford said that wont work because its been changed by a chip and it wont read the computer right it may read it a ranger or crown vic. they said to change th computer 
out is the only way to fix it so now
WHAT SHOULD I DO GUYS SOMEONE NOT TELLING THE RIGHT STORY

I was under the impression that a Ford dealership had the authority to reflash any ECU regardless of what's on the memory banks. If they can't fix it who can???
I would seek a different dealer as well, anyone who would try and tell me that they can't work with that is too ignorant to trust.

The DP-Tuner (the chip) I dont understand as i think they have a stock chip for 50$ do you just plug it in then run the tuner or?????

I had the same problem with my PSD after I purchased the predator and tried to program it. I took my truck to our local Ford dealership and they reflashed my computer to the newest stock program available cost me around $52. Now the predator works fine, I have had no problems. Dosen't make any since, why they can't do it, the only thing they told me to make sure it dosen't have any stacker chips installed.

No there must have been a chip in the truck before i bought it because the predator says the truck already has a tune i need to get the pcm back to stock so i can uses the predator. My ? is about dp-tuner chip they have a stock setting could i buy that to put the truck back to stock because the dealers said they can't.
