DIABLO Predator Programmer question

I just picked up a used DIABLO PREDATOR programmer on eBay (model U7153). According to the DIABLO website this is the correct model for my 2001 4x4 Expy. The only mods on my Expy are 3” cat-back exhaust, K&N intake system, 1” throttle-body spacer and electric fans. Truck has 75K and was just tuned up but still has some slight hesitation from a stop so I am planning on replacing all the O2 sensors before I zap the chip with the Predator.

OK…question to the knowledge-pool…I’ve never used a device like this so wondering what the pitfalls are? Anyone with experience using the DIABLO have any tips/tricks...other suggestions?

Here’s the eBay link:

DIABLO U7158 for sale?

In the 'for-what-it's-worth' department...the eBay seller advertised the wrong model number! He sent me model # U7158 for Ford Lightening trucks...not the U7153 model listed in the auction...anyone interested in buying this? I paid $60 with shipping. The unit works fine in fact i downloaded the latest COM file from Diablo's website (that's when i realized that I got the wrong unit!)
