Info: bully dog or not?

[fun w son]

i was thinking about puting a bully dog pt on my truck to get better pulling power when pulling my camper.
Is it worth it or should i look for something else??

Edge Evolution(stay away from the Edge juice) PPE, or EFI Live.

reread his post it says to stay away from Juice with Attitude. While recommending PPE or EFI Live

Just gonna throw this out there...if your just looking for towing power the Predator is a good all round programmer. :thumb:

wow didnt know about the other product.
I am looking to improve milage around town, and pulling power when towing a load. the bully dog was the first to pop up. it sounds like the efilive may be the way to go???

thanks for any info ya'll can give me cause i'm still shopping.

I'd say for best gains all around and having to only do it once get EFILive with a 2 tune switch...tunes being a MPG tune and a tow tune but that's just me...I would also suggest an EGT and boost gauge for security and piece of mind.

I have EFI and love it, but if your just looking mileage and a mild tow tune a Predator will serve you well and save you some money.

While not the best program it will work for your needs there is a good deal for a bully dog in the for sale forum

 

[Big Block 88]

We ran a bully dog way back in the day, decent power but we had install issues, mostly the dealer here.

Of course I am going to say EFI Live aswell

is the Predator something I can hook up my self?
and is there a website on this product, really not sure what i'm looking at here???

if i use a re-programmer should i install some sort of Gauges to monitor the engine, and trans, or will it be ok??

 

[Trotorx2]

The Predator plugs into the obd port in the cab, load the program then unhook it and drive.

You should get gauges...at least an exhaust gas temp gauge. I'm using the predator and like it. If you tow and use a programmer your egt's need to be watched. My 5th wheel weights about 13k loaded and I see between 1200-1300 degrees going over tall bridges with the tow tune in.

trotorx2, when your are pulling your camper what kind of MPG are you getting?

trotorx2, when your are pulling your camper what kind of MPG are you getting?

To be honest...I'm not sure as I've never hand calculated it. With the Predator the DIC mpg isn't accurate. Also I have 17 inch wheels so that messes it up too. I see almost 12 mpg most times towing here in south Texas but I know it isn't totally correct.

I'm not getting great mpg's with this LBZ like some people. I'm working in Houma this week pm me and I can show you a Predator and show you how it works.
