predator from my 2002 f150 will not install into a 2001 f150. says it is not liscensed to be used in that vehicle. before i got rid of the 2002 i installed the factory horse power tune. is there any way i fix this problem??
Sorry to be the one telling you this, but your Predator is now useless as a programmer.
Per the manual, you needed to restore the "Original Factory Backup" tune, not the factory horsepower tune. The factory horse power tune is a Diablo tune that lets you modify shift points, firmness, etc., without changing the power/octane tuning. So basically your previous truck was not returned to stock and the Predator is VIN locked to the 2002.
You end up having to ship the tuner to them. At least they will reset the unit so that you can use it on your next vehicle. Here is the number for the tech support dept at 561-908-0040
