A quick look from the U-7130/U-7131 5.9L 24V Cummins DiabloSport Predator MANUAL gives the following:

The Predator will marry to the vehicle upon
upload of the factory tune and cannot be
reflashed for any reason, back to a
blank tool. This marrying of the Vin#
to the tool is what makes it possible
for the vehicle to be reflashed by GM,
and still be reprogrammed again by the
Predator. Reflashing of the Predator is not
possible without the complete disassembly,
replacement and reprogramming of critical
components of the Predator tool.

Back to my after dinner adult beverage . . .

I don't think so. Too many of them have been bought and sold and nobody seems to have any problems. I know I've had one and then got rid of it. No problem for the guy that bought it.

They can unlock it without it ever having to come back to you just call them with the details if you can ever get through.

I sold my predator from my 05 GM when I bought the Dodge. No problems at all. I just put the stock tune back in the truck and sold it.
