Is it possible to use the Predator shifts and NO tuning?
With the price of gas I was wondering if it's possible to put the truck back to stock and then just adjust the shifts on the Predator like you can with the HPP? I recently put the truck back to stock, reset the parameters, reloaded the peroformance tuning and just adjusted the shifts, I left the fuel trims and spark settings alone this time. I wonder . I may put the stock tuning in and try to just program for the transmission and see what happens.

Yes it is just have to set everything flat and adjust the shift points as you want. But actually if you get all the fuel trims right your gas milage would be better than stock.
The motor would not have to work as hard to get the power out.

Just kidding. I do not know how anyone fried the computer with this tuner, it is pretty fool proof as long as you follow the directions. So what would the fuel trims be set to other than stock to get better mileage amd performance. Or is that a dream?

How the heck do you do this, I want to save on gas money too.? I can't figure out how to adjust shift points without the aftermarket tune! I can only find, adjust performance parameters!

Re: Is it possible to use the Predator shifts and NO tuning?
Well I did it and it works!! The only problem was in the shifts rpm and mph clashing with each other. What the heck do you guys set you mph shift point at so the rpm and mph do not fight each other? I had something similar happen to me when I first got the Predator, it was during performance shift settings. I think my mph is too high and the damm thing keeps trying to acheive the mph even though the max rpm will not let it. The only other thing is that you cannot use the 125 mph max speed without the Predator's performance tuning. If I am talking out the wrong hole let me know. Thanks guys!!
