    I got a new tune revision from BG and I finally decided to install it so I plugged my predator up to the computer and sent the new file to it. Then I went to the jeep and tried to upload the new tune and it went to 100% in the upload and then said turn the ignition off/on and then it said "tune could not be installed". So I unplugged the predator and then rebooted it and put the base file back in it jeep then came back to the computer and clicked on "get tune from predator" and extracted my base file, then sent the new revision to the predator again. Went back to the jeep and tried to upload the new tune again and it went to 100% and I turned the ignition off/on and it kinda set that for a minute with the "service 4wd" light flashing and a clicking sound coming from under the jeep.....then it finally said "tune is now complete and you may drive the vehicle"......but the "service 4wd" light and clicking sound was still happening. I unlugged the predator and tried to start the jeep and nothing happened???? The accessory position works but the starter wont even engage? I tried to put my base file back in the jeep and now the predator wont even connect with it? It says "vehicle could not be recognized". I dont know what to do. I gotta drive to work in the morning and now I have a big paperweight in my driveway:cry:

    Chris,

    Try read this link. Not sure if it is the same thing, but just maybe.

    http://www.srtconnection.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3261


    Also, if you goto the last page of threads in this section, there may be more threads on this issue. Seems to me when we first added Diablo, this question came up.

    Good luck buddy.

    Thanks for link Ron. I checked it out but it doesnt appear to be the same issue.

    I am on R18 since dave advised me to stick with it. I just downloaded the newest 9R05 and tried to send the file to the predator but it is saying "this predator appears to contain an original backup file. You MUST restore the original backup to your vehicle before you upgrade your predators software (CROM).

    That's strange. Try pulling the battery cables for about an hour... Then try the tune again.

    Man, how many times have I begged everyone to stay on the latest updates?!?!?!
    I hate to say this here in this way, but Dave should have known better.
    I will be sure to get word to him that custom tunes need to be loaded to tools with at least 9r02 on them...

    Please do not update this Predator.
    Please call us with the tool powered up in the car and we will get the truck running no problem.
    800 531 5484x1.

    Then, you will update to 9r05, then you can use the custom tune.

    Thanks
    Mike

    Thanks Mike, I was getting a little worried. I will call you as soon as I get home so you can help me out. I had to leave the jeep at the house today.
