    I would call them back and make sure they fix it. I have the bdx one which is super easy to install and more user friendly. Just call them back or dirtydeeds might know what to do...

    I don’t think a trickle charger will work. It has to be a certain number of amps. I think 30 or so. Just make sure it meets the amp requirements.

    Yep I used a regular charger here when I installed my tune.

    Question, anyone else have a dead spot in the performance tune ? When I take off it goes then hits a spot in the rpm where it just hits a wall and picks right back up and goes after a second or two.

    I was finally able to get on the phone with BD today. apparently what happened to me is common. the customer service guy did a remote session and directly loaded the correct files onto the card. I'm going to pick up a charger on my way home and get this thing going.

    Ok, this is fun. I have it on premium with the throttle and shift points set to performance (and in beast mode). it’s not a rocket, but it feels so much better...it’s not running in quicksand anymore.

    O had mine in performance shift mode. But I experienced something that concerned ne so I turned it off.
    So from secound into third a couple times track control came on i didn't feel the tires brake loose so I was concerned that it was the trans slipping. Has anyone experienced this before ?

    The Bully Dog GT states in the set up screens that at least a 10amp charger is required. Im glad I did not try to use my 1amp trickle charger, at the end of the day I had to shell out $70 for a decent 10 amp charger, but it was something I can always use and that money outweighs the risk of bricking my ecm.

    I'll be towing my camper 2000 miles to Canada from Florida. Tow/performance/ performance or tow/economy/ economy? I have a small tank on flat lands in regular tune /economy/ economy is giving me average of 10mpg. I want to be able not to have any problem with elevation, but don't want to stop for fuel every 200 miles.

    Any opinion will be greatly appreciated.

    Id be more worried about why my wife is so uncomfortable using her work computer lol. You're not a child. What is she in the fbi or something?

    I know this is an old post.. but yes mine does the same exact thing and always has in performance shift mode while on premium tune. I rune performance shift points on rugular tune 99% of the time and i like it. Ive never tried premium tune with stock shift points though

    My new (to me) came with the Bullydog GT Prem. As a wire was pulled off I had to figure out how to reinstall it. All done now. With all this very complicated setup I don't think I would buy another especially as people have mentioned there are others a lot less complicated. With the battery charger hookup, it can be done without if your battery is at 12.5 or above. Oddly mine read 12.7 and at first Bullydog was telling me it was 11.5. So, I don't know if it's there way of saying use the charger or what. I did leave the charger on for a couple of hours (don't use the truck much and it's cold here), disconnected and used without.

    Quick question on these. If your battery dies does your computer lose the last set tune?

    It shouldn't. I've had my tune installed for a little over 2 years and have disconnected the battery multiple times and it's still there.

    Tunes are hard written. Battery disconnect only resets learned values.

    Has anyone had the invalid characters in vin error in update agent for the bullydog tuner gt+ gas? T401. I’m able to install the correct year and model of tundra, but when I go back to download and update the actual tunes I get this error in update agent. And when I go to setting my vin is definitely in there so I don’t think it’s been previous locked to anyone else.
