Bully Dog

Does anyone have anything good or bad about a BullyDog for their Tundra. Just found a good deal just don't want to jump into anything to quickly. Thanks

 

Would a hypertech be a better choice.?

 

I am on the fence with either a BullyDog or hypertech

 

Do you own a flex fuel?

 

No, reg 5.7 iforce

 

In that case an actual flashed tune like bullydog offers is my preference. It is still my preference even with my ffv. But they don't have the most updated tune for 2nd gens, so my tuner is sitting in a drawer. If they don't get it soon I my get me a hypertech again, or just do headers. Sean is right though, if you don't do the installation properly you could brick your ecu. But I never had any problems and I've flashed mine many times.

 

Hummm trucky... We talked about this mess along time ago.. I guess I was right on the bd? Since i have been away...

 

I decided last night not to go ahead with a BullyDog. It was a good deal but I am too worried about messing up a brand new truck. Time to think about the new mod

 

The second they get the most updated tune, I'll install mine again. Until then... It sure looks pretty sitting in my drawer.

 

If I didn't have a flex fuel it wouldn't be a problem. But I had an itch that just had to be scratched.

 

Update on the bully dog? im really thinking about buying it but im still not sure

 

I decided not purchase the bully dog. I don't want to mess up a brand new truck.

 

I got one and paid $350 for it. It had a super cheap look and feel to it. The fear of screwing something up and the fact I couldn't change my tunes on the fly made me send it back.

 

Guys, I'll just say, if you don't feel comfortable with a flashed tune, of course don't get one. But the only way you could mess your truck up with one is not putting a charger on your battery while you flash a tune. If the battery goes to low while flashing the tune it could possibly brick your ecu. But the tune itself is pretty mild. Once/if bullydog gets the newer program for the 2nd gen ffv, mine will go back on. The low end tq alone is worth it to me.

Of course headers would be an even better option. Once my truck is paid off, the headers and mid pipes will go on.
