4 Sale, 7198 Diablo Predator Ready to use '99-'03
Predator hand held tuner. Used once 2 years ago on my '02 Vert. Since then the performance tune that had been flashed into my Vette has been returned to the Predator and the stock factory tune returned to the car, making it good to go once again. The problems everyone has heard or read about buying these used happens when the original owner loads the performance tune into their car or truck and then sells it to someone else without returning the performance tune back to the Predator to be used again on any car or truck that the Predator was designed for. The Predator can only send the performance tune to a Vin once. For it to load the performance tune to a different Vin (car/truck) the performance tune has to be uploaded back to the Predator and the car returned to it's stock tune. The unit is then returned to an as new, ready to use state.
This Diablo Predator model # U7198 can be used on any Corvette LS1/LS6 from years 1999 through 2003. This unit will NOT work on a 2004 or newer anything. It comes in it's original box and is in 100% perfect condition. $320 Shipped to anywhere in the lower 48 states. Anywhere else a few bucks more.

Predator firmware question ...
You appear to be one of the few sellers of used 7198s who knows the DiabloSport pitfalls, and actually has one FS that will work as described in the user manual (vice being useful for capturing and clearing codes or as an expensive doorstop).
I'm interested, but need to know which firmware version it's running ... if it's rev 2.13, the very latest, it is indeed good go. If you can confirm, I'll make you a reasonable offer. If it's not, it has to go back to the factory for reflashing, and I'm not prepared to deal with the potential for additional expense or the usual shipping hassles.
Good luck with the sale in any event; your 7198 will certainly get the job done with earlier firmware revisions, but my preference for use in my lightly modified 02Z is their latest, especially at a selling price over $300.
