I have tried diablosports predator ( they don't have one for 2004 DTR)
Anyone know where I can get a programmer for my new 2004 MM
I just want some extra horses and little more torque. I want to leave
the car stock otherwise....Please help, I am getting crazy over this....
Thanks:dunno:

Should be enough. Call Lidio.
www.reinhartautomotive.com can also help you...
Either way....you can't go wrong.

^^^what FiveO said^^^
I believe 2004s can only use a hand-held tuner...the service port is shut off so a chip won't function...

You can use a chip on a 2004. You have to open up the port. I have a SC by Lidio. Works great, but if they ever look there is no way to hide the fact that a chip had been installed. Unless you buy a second ECM.

SuperChip now has a programmer for the 04. Installed one last week. Firms up the tranny quite well. :party:

I like the idea of the Alternative Auto chip. Can a regular guy purchasae, have delivered to his home, and install the chip in his garage, or do you need to find a computer-nerd/mechanic to do it for you?

Very easy. If you can change a flat tire you can do this. Give Lidio a call. :cool4:

CAUTION!!!! :whistle:
Dennis had 3 new 04's in South Florida at a dealership and they put chips in them and none worked!! :dunno:
Soooo......If you cut the hole and the board is missing a few contacts......and the chip won't work......you will have to use the tuner and have already told on yourself with the hole in the EEC!!! :whistle:
Go with the tuner and be safe?? ;)
