BullyDog Tuner Or DP ?
Im currently running a bully dog tuner its been on my truck for several years. It works i guess but i think that old itch is coming that makes a guy want a little more. Is the DP tuner any better as far as more power faster take offs or should i just leave it as it is. Truck is 2002 7.3 260k miles on it and it just got new injector cups and injector orings. The injectors are stock. Ive included a pic with all current mods.

While DP has somewhat fallen out of favor here. The PHP Hydra with Gearhead tunes is the favorite the last couple of years, I run the DP F6. I think between the 2 (Bully Dog and DP) you will like Jody's tunes much better.

I should've headed the thread a little different. I've been outta the mod scene for a few years so i really dont know what the latest and greatest is. I do know this bully dog aint it anymore lol.

Well, you may have painted yourself into a corner with the limitations of the two choices. If the limitations remain, save money by staying with what you have.
If you plan to continue with systematic logical modifications and only want to pay for tuning once, then the Hydra with tunes by Matt @ Gearhead is the "only" choice due to the fact that, after the initial purchase, all updates are free no matter how often or how many times you modify your truck.
Additionally, if funds are tight, you can buy the Hydra and flash free tunes from PowerHungryPerformance (PHP)'s extensive library.

The only problem i ever had with my electric 4x4 was the vaccuum hose came off where it seals in on the hub or thats what im calling it i hooked a hose back up and my 4 wheel drive starting working again. It was on the front axle dunno if this will help.

To the OP... I am sure you will like our custom tunes much better than the generic Bully Dog tunes. That being said, what Bully Dog tuner do you have? If it is the GT, we can write custom tunes for it. You will just need to get in touch with Bully Dog and have it updated. This will save you a bit of money and you will still be able to run our custom tunes...

Yeah whats the extreme setting on the bully dog gt thats what i have also. And heres another question that may be a little off topic with all this. I have all these different mods on my truck and running the bully dog in extreme on the interstate or just taking off my bully dog only shows my boost going to 12. Is that normal or low or odd i dunno just seems low to me.

The main differences I hear about most are the power improvement and much better shifting. We focus a lot more on the trans than pretty much any generic tuner out there. Shift points are adjusted, line pressure is adjusted, TQ converter lockup and unlock points are changed, etc.
