I don't know if you can get a regular place to do it. They pulled my vin # and then got all the electric options for my vehicle, then they attempted to flash it, but alas, it would not start, even after they flashed it twice. When they put in the new computer, it is blank, so they had to flash that one also. The computer shows at $277 for the computer alone, then with labor for installing it, and a surcharge for getting the program it came to $411.

Oh, I so pissed myself off, I was just going to get the eaton for my rear end. I already got the TA girdle and the Richmond 4.10 gears!

Similar thing happened to my 03 with a predator, but my problem was caused by a messed up custom tune from diablo! 954RR I would say 99% chance your trucks ECU is fried just like mine was. Luckily repairs for my truck were made free under warranty.

I just returned my predator. Personally any computer programmer that can fry my ECU like that is not worth the risk. SO Im getting ls1edit. It should be safer to use AND provides WAY more tuneability. I also think relying on some guy at Diablo to make you a custom tune (like I did) is a risky proposition. Ls1edit puts all the control in your hands.
