You cannot sell the unit once you install the tune. It will be worthless as it can only be installed in 1 car at a time and will not work on another unless you put the stock tune back in your car.

If you have the Jet thermostat it is a true 180

If you have the Auto Zone it says it's a 180 but actually it's a 185. So if you set the fans to lower then 185 the fans will likely run all the time as they can never get it colder then 185.

This is the fan settings that I used and seem to work great.

Fire up your predator and go to modify parameters (in which ever tune you used). Scroll to the cooling fan section (You will have 2 locations AC Off and AC On). In the OFF section you will have 6 locations to change the fan temps, toggle to each one and change as you feel fit.
For myself
at the Hi Speed locations I picked 191 Deg.
at Med Speed I picked 186 Deg
at low speed I picked 186 Deg.

In the AC On section you'll have 3 locations to change the fan temps....I worked it the same way. After all your adjustments are made...you'll have to load again!
Good Luck

 Combine the Diablosport Predator with the 180 Thermostat. Using the fan control settings on the diablo in conjunction with the lowered thermostat will allow you to keep your Challenger running cooler and keeping it from going into Heat Soak mode due to idling or city driving. This will keep you from losing power and throttle response. Recommended settings to use:
All HS Fans (High Speed) AC On & AC Off: 194 degrees
All LS Fans (Low Speed) AC On & AC Off: 189 degrees
All MS Fans (Medium Speed) AC On & AC Off: 192 degrees

Hope this helps you out.
