I installed the bully dog today in my 2013 ram and I'm very happy with it except that I now have a check engine lite on. I'm not worried about the light yet with it being such a new release.

Can you give us any other info? Like does it have specific functionality with some of the 2013 options that aren't on a 2012?

Been looking forward to hearing about this. Does the truck run differently with the code on? Any "seat of the pants" performance? Thanks.

Fantastic....you received it :angels25:

Do keep us posted on that check engine light.
But I would try to run a diagnostic on it to see what it is and then clear it and see if it comes back

The truck does not run any different and yes you can feel it pull a little harder.

I talked with bullydog about the check engine light and they already had a patch for it. So they sent it to me and i updated it and it went away. They have awsome tech support.

There is not a 2013 selection in the setup screen. Do I pick the 11-12 selection?

I have the tuner and updated it, but when I go to setup the vehicle type, there is no 2013 Ram selection.

The install was pretty easy!

Lowone01, was there a 13 option when selecting your ram?
That's what 20hemi10 is asking....
I will receive one for myself to test here and will have a better idea on loading it into the 13's
