You have to get the rear o2 sensors turned off in the tune or run simulators.

Nope the handhelds cant do it except for the brand new predators I believe. If you have a handheld you have to buy O2 simulators or get a custom tune. My advice put the cost of the sims toward a custom tune and sell the handheld on ebay and get you a custom tune oyu will be alot happier person trust me I had a hypercrap on my truck for two weeks and got rid of it.

right... but can the other tunes be used as a base...for example, I like my Vinci/Crane tune, but would like to pay a tuner to turn off the rear o2s...is that possible and still keep the Vinci/Crane tune?
Thanks,
Damon

Tuners can tune it how ever you want. If you want to pay full price to have them turn off the cats, thats your choice.

Waitforme will probably turn them off for free or next to nothing if you send him your pcm and pay shipping. Jesse is a great guy
