I have a Predator u7194, I have not used it yet (waiting for all parts installation), but any way. Can these be used on more then one vehicle? I am wanting to use it on a 2007 Chevy 2500HD 6.0. Or once you hook up to one vehicle it is only good on that vehicle?

No the predator is for one vehicle only as it will capture the vehicle's VIN and store it until you download the factory tune back to the car.

What mods are you doing?

Thermo (170)
Hurricane Intake (custom painted, is why I am waiting)
Also read about rotating MAF 90 degrees

Already did CAT-BACK

Are you sure on the thermostat being 170? 160 and 180 are the two temps being sold.

Have you considered long tube headers? The predator has the long tube header pre-program in it.

You are right 180, the sales rep at the Corvette Shop recommended the 180 over the 160.
long Tube Headers, I would love, but smog in California is BS and I have been stopped at a roadside safety inspection already

My bad I just noticed that you live in Ca. You may be wasting your money on the 180 as the Predator can adjust the cooling fans to kick in earlier.

I put a 180 in turning the fans on earlier, DOES NOT GET THE COOLANT TO CIRCULATE SOONER, putting a 160 in does not drop your temps to 160, but a 180 will, my temps are lower! and excuse me! bone stock 06 LS2 mn6 93 octane predator tune 367 rwhp, took it to a diablosport tuner and had it tweeked, 379 rwhp 380 tq on a mustang dyno, I love you guys always trying to "diss" the predator, they do as much or more then any other "mail order" tuner does and I have the "TOOL" to comunicate with the car to make adj or change tunes for different applications and diablosport is constantly testing and updating their programs and giving that to the "owners" for free!

If you go to the diablosport.com website you can search for cmr tune dealers. First you click at the top under products, predator. You can input the C6 and your year and so on. It wuill give the result and there is a link that will lead you to cmr tune dealers.
