Default PPE On LMM

Finally got mine in today. After only driving about 15 miles a few things to mention.

It was a pain in the *** to get it to program the truck. It froze up several times and did not recognize the VIN number. Took about an hour all told, but I finally got it done.

The time for the transmission to learn was less than 5 miles. So that was a plus compared to the Predator on the LLY.

The power on level 3 seems to be about what my LLY with the predator on the highest level was. One more setting to go before I really find out what it is all about.

The menus were easy to read and the functionality was nice.

The turbo seems to have more "whine" now which is also a plus.

Overall so far I would give this programmer a "C" but as I said I really have not had a chance to get on it and play much. Best thing I can tell so far is it does not make alot of smoke.

Did you happen to get a lemon, or do they all have that many problems?

AARON...WHEN YOU PROGRAM YOUR TRUCK AGAIN TRY PULLING THE RADIO FUSE...HAVING AN AFTERMARKET RADIO CREATS A LITTLE EXTRA "CHATTER" THAT SOMETIME DISRUPTS COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE TRUCK AND THE PROGRAMMER...I HAD TO PULL MY FUSES FOR THE TECH 2 TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE AND FOR NICK'S PREDATOR TO READ MY BALANCE RATES...
