Noob with a Bullydog question

[holdstill79]

I have a 13 black express. 1 week owned so far. I see a BD GT Hemi plus on Craigslist for sale. If bought used, will this still get support and updates from BD? Is the bullydog the tuner that can have the custom tunes written by Whitelightning installed?

Like the truck so far, this forum helps a lot for ideas and future plans. Thanks in advance

As long as it was properly uninstalled from the previous truck by the person who is selling it. Otherwise it costs $350 to have BD unlock it. And no, you can't get custom tunes on a Bully Dog.

Is it worth getting? What programmer can accept custom tunes?

Will any of them fix the problem of the "learning" transmission

This happens in every Dodge product I have owned
07 v6 Charger
07 V8 Dakota
11 Nitro
and this.

It seems to lose 1/4 power unless I unhook the battery for a few minutes, than instantly it feels like it has 50 more hp. This Ram already lost significant power since I bought it (1 week) Will not pull as hard when passing

I have it on my truck. Its much better than stock. More power and shifts better but I also have other mods that helped, CAI, free flowing muffler, Sonnax line pressure booster, etc. Wouldnt go back to stock. The custom tunes are for the Diablo and aren't out for the 2013 yet. I have been hearing a few weeks for 6 about months now for the release.

If you are buying used, then tell the seller to let you install it on your truck first to ensure that it was successfully uninstalled from his truck. The other issue you may run into is that if he did not also have a 2013, you are going to have to update the tuner first using Bullydog's update agent before installing on your truck.

There are some parts that I feel comfortable buying used, but used tuners scare me unless you know the previous owner.

Thanks guys! After reading, I am going to wait on Diablo. I had one of theirs in my S197 Mustang. Liked it a lot. Of coarse they wrote to me and said "should be out shortly" Sounds like that's what they have been saying for almost a year.

Next up.... Vararam, Hemi orange from Moe's! Just got to wait until the wife isn't looking to complete checkout!
