Trial bully dog tuner. Now it will not go away? Want stock tune back?

Hey guys I have a 03 F 250 and I had a trial 3 day triple bully dog tuner hooked up by a shop Pick ups plus here in Columbus, Ohio.


It has never went away. I just replaced my turbo yesterday and now the truck runs like crazy with all of this power. It's like it comes and goes or went away for a while and now with the new turbo it's back.

Has this happened to any of you?

HOw can I get the truck back to stock tune?

The program was only to last 21 starts or 3 days but its still there months later

Thanks

I guess a little more information would help since I do not know the program. A shop loaded this tune into your truck with a hand held flash device?

Get it to a dealer and get the truck completely reflashed with the newest programming. The trial programming is destructive on the tranny after a time. I replied in your other thread about the SCT.

Yes, they have a master downloader that enables them to load a tune on various vehicles.

OP: The only definitive way that I know to get rid of it on your truck is to take it to the dealership and get them to install the latest flash onto your truck. It might cost you around 100 to get that done, but as far as I know that's the only way to get it back to stock if the trial download didn't disappear on it's own.

If that is the case Tex, I know I would give the bill to the performance shop after it was over.

It doesn't disappear on it's own. I had this discussion with a tuner one day. Take it to the dealership and have them flash it.
