Flash Issues

Well for starters I tried the bully dog test flash... bad idea I know... about 2 months ago and after about a day my rpm gauge got messed up it thought 5k was the idle... was shifting a little funny but went back to normal... now about 2 weeks ago it has started up again, I start the truck and the gauge has it idling at its normal 800 or so then as I drive it the gauge idle falls to 0... The 1st to 2nd shifting is also not right... I want to take it back to the dealer for a reflash but dont want the dealer to see the bully dog in there... Any ideas? I have thought about buying the SCT from spartan diesel because I want to anyways but would that even fix it? Thanks.

I have an 06 with 42500 miles. The turbo has been warranty replaced once and I have had one or two EGR problems but besides that nothing big. Thanks.
