What is the DiabloSport Predator OBD2 Scanner?

The DiabloSport Predator is more than just a code reader; it’s a sophisticated OBD2 tuner and performance programmer. This sleek handheld device plugs directly into your vehicle’s OBD2 port and reprograms the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with optimized tuning files. Unlike generic tuners, the Predator is specifically designed for 1999-2003 Ford V8 Trucks and SUVs, ensuring perfect compatibility and maximum performance gains. It automatically identifies your vehicle’s PCM and selects the ideal tune for your specific engine and model.

Inside the Predator, you’ll find carefully engineered tuning files that fine-tune spark timing and air/fuel ratios across the entire RPM range. This meticulous approach to tuning results in a smoother, wider, and more predictable power delivery compared to other tuning methods. DiabloSport engineers invest countless hours in dyno, street, and track testing to guarantee that the Predator’s pre-loaded tunes are the best in the market.

Key Features and Benefits of the Predator OBD2 Scanner

The DiabloSport Predator OBD2 scanner is packed with exclusive features that set it apart from the competition, making it the ultimate tuning tool for your Ford truck or SUV:

  • Internet Updatable Revisions: Keep your device current with the latest software revisions and improvements by easily downloading updates via the internet.

  • FlexAdjust™ Technology: This unique technology provides a wide range of adjustability for engine and transmission parameters, giving you unparalleled control over your vehicle’s performance.

  • Advanced OBD-II Scanner Capabilities: The Predator goes beyond tuning by offering comprehensive OBD-II scanning functionality:

    • Read and Understand Fault Codes (DTCs): The Predator displays fault codes and their descriptions in plain English, eliminating the need for separate code books. It includes both standard and manufacturer-specific fault codes.
    • Reset Fault Codes: Easily clear fault codes after diagnosing and resolving issues.
    • Live Data Monitoring: Monitor critical engine parameters in real-time to understand your vehicle’s performance and identify potential problems.

  • Large Graphical Display: Enjoy a user-friendly experience with the Predator’s large graphical display, which is 300% bigger than text-only displays found on competing devices, providing clear and easy-to-read information.

  • KROS Operating System: The Predator is powered by a custom high-performance, multi-threading KROS operating system, ensuring fast and reliable operation.

Dyno-Proven Performance Gains

The primary goal of the Predator OBD2 scanner is to deliver POWER, and it does not disappoint. On average, users experience power gains in the range of 15-20 rear-wheel horsepower (RWHP). This translates to a noticeable increase in performance across the RPM band, starting from the low end and building to a powerful surge at higher RPMs.

Vehicles equipped with the Predator OBD2 scanner show significant improvements in drivability. The added horsepower and optimized shift patterns result in quicker acceleration and enhanced fuel economy, whether you’re driving in the city or on the highway. The improved throttle response, especially at lower RPMs, makes your vehicle feel more responsive and engaging to drive.

The increase in Miles Per Gallon (MPG) is a welcome side effect of the Predator’s tuning. By maximizing engine efficiency through refined timing curves and air/fuel ratios, the Predator promotes more complete combustion, allowing your engine to extract more power from every drop of fuel. All DiabloSport tunes are developed and rigorously tested on a dynamometer to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

Customizable Tuning Parameters for Advanced Users

For those who want to fine-tune their vehicle even further, the Predator OBD2 scanner offers a wide array of adjustable parameters. This allows you to customize your tune based on other modifications you may have made to your vehicle, such as aftermarket intakes or exhaust systems. By adjusting timing and fuel settings, experienced users can optimize their tune for their specific vehicle using a dynamometer with air/fuel monitoring and the Predator’s live data features.

Adjustable parameters on the F-series Predator include:

  • Global Spark Adder
  • Mass Air Flow Curve Adjustment
  • Injector Size Adjustment
  • Dual Timing Adjustment Points
  • Timing Table Adjustments
  • Dual Fuel Adjustment Points
  • Fuel Table Adjustments
  • Idle Adjustments
  • Speed Limiter Adjustment
  • Rev Limiter Adjustments
  • Full Throttle Shift Points and Pressure
  • Part Throttle Shift Pressure
  • Global Line Pressure Adder
  • Torque Modulation Control
  • Speedometer Re-Calibration for Gear/Tire Changes

All of these parameters can be adjusted on both DiabloSport’s pre-loaded tunes and even the factory tune, giving you complete control over your vehicle’s performance characteristics.

Diagnostics and Live Data Monitoring for Vehicle Health

Beyond performance tuning, the Predator OBD2 scanner serves as a powerful diagnostic tool. It allows you to scan and clear diagnostic fault codes (DTCs) and monitor live engine data while driving. The Predator can read and erase all Ford-specific P-codes and is compatible with all 1996-2003 OBDII Ford Mustangs and F-Series gas vehicles for diagnostics.

The diagnostic features are universally applicable to any Ford OBDII vehicle, regardless of whether the Predator has been locked to a specific vehicle for tuning purposes. Data logging is also available, allowing you to record up to 30 minutes of data at a standard rate, or up to 90 minutes at a slower rate. Logs can be reviewed on the Predator itself or uploaded to a PC for in-depth analysis using the free DiabloSport DAT Viewer software.
