Yeah, IIRC that happens quite often with tuners. Not a big issue from what I have heard but I have always run chips.

This code showed up after the tuner was uninstalled and the truck was started once back to stock. Could the computer have stored that code for that long?

I think it will remain there until it is cleared. We will have to wait for someone who has a tuner to be sure. Why didn't you just clear it before removing the Predator or did it appear after removal?

It appeared after removal of the predator, and I believe I drove it a little also. Cleared codes, and next day shipped the predator to the buyer in florida.

wow ron, you read between the lines!! That is the plan but currently back at college so money is tighter than it was, might just have to go with stock, 80 econo, and 140 smoke! Lots of diesel's in Idaho completely stock running tuners, need to show them how it's done!!

lol it was in big bold letters..i couldnt miss it..why 140? if you dont mind me asking..120 race on mine blows a lot of smoke as it is and its about all the HPOP can take..i use 80 econo quite often..its fun for playing..i use 60 tow for travling..seems to get better MPG....
