Nope, so far as I have ever known the CRAZY LARRY tune is a Dodge only tune. Its 230HP and 450 TQ, Actual increases depend on vehicle make, model and year.

I actually tried the free download in my 6.0L all's it did was completly screw up the trans and motor driveability. The program never did go into the truck, I was simply left with a totally screwed up mess on my hands.
A couple months later I tried entering the real program from a real downloader not the sample deal. The downloader stripped my factory programming and then said unknown part and quit the rest of its programming. I ended up at the dealer and they questioned what I had done because the truck computer was a mess. So they reprogrammed it. And I am not using bully dog again.

Nope - not for a minute ******* thyself* - yep, blood is still blue.

230hp is pretty impressive though.

I dont have the Tri-power Master Downloader. Its a $2300 package for the smallest deal for dealers, and I just dont sell that many bully dogs compared to Edge/Banks/SCT/Superchips. I have sold quite a few bully dog tuners, and no, I have not been informed of any issues. But I sell 3-4 EDGE/SCT tuners for every one of another brand. It seems like the Edge and SCT are the ones that move the most, and I attribute that to why you hear so many issues with them....there is a ton out there! I do know this, if you buy 1000 microwaves, at least a couple are going to be dead on arrival, and a couple more will die within a year....new cars...same thing....computers....same....and tuners....same thing. Sometimes things do break or go bad. I dont think its a matter of something breaking, I think its a matter of what kind of support and help you get when something does break. I know there are some dealers on that Bullydog page that offer the Tri-power master tuner, and this is the very first horror story I have heard.

Thanks Larry, glad you haven't heard any of the horror stories and you are right you can get a lemon in anything but service is the most important part of selling a product. Following up and correcting the problem. I think I am still going to try the Try it deal and see what happens.
