mine was great till sunday... washed and waxed dads truck.. and moms car... but nature decided to be evil... i was halfway done waxing moms car.. had just completely waxed the passenger side when the clouds opened up and dumped rain all down the back half of it.. front half was under the tent i was using to keep the sun off the car... once it stopped i re-dried the car and finished waxing..

Ahhhh gotcha, took me a minute there. Superchip is garbage compared to the DP.

Good Morning all. I wanting to ride in a tuner modded diesel myself. Don't have the money to do mine, and I'd want to stud the heads first if I did, especially with the 6.0.

Shawn: Bully Dog is ok at best. The problem with BullyDog is that they are called "off the shelf programmers" in that they are custom to each persons truck. They have generic fuel curves and timing and shift points that aren't tailored to each specific truck. Something like DP, Tony Wildman or PHP are tuned specifically for the supporting mods you have done, trans type, and overall truck condition. Lets say i put a shift kit in my truck. If I run a Bully Dog, the chip is not tuned to run that shift kit, making the shifts almost neckbreaking (experience here trust me). As for the DP I run, Jody tunes the transmission to not break anything while still allowing me to run the shift kit safely.

When it comes down to it, I wouldn't recommend ANY of the generic tuners (i've had a superchip, two different Bully Dogs, and a TS) and all honestly don't compare to my DP. The more they market, the more they are likely to be crap. Hope this helps
