Just installed PMT system, problems?
So I just installed the new PMT system for my 6.4 today. I have heard rumors of problems. How easy is it to bust your exhaust pipe joints? How hard can I be on the engine with the PMT. Exhaust is still stock. Will I crack the DPF with it? Just looking for feedback regarding a tuned 6.4, and any info about the bully dog PMT system would be much appreciated! Will this engine handle the extra HP and TQ better than the 6.0s, what about the extra boost pressures?
Thanks a bunch in advance!

So, today I have been playing around with the new programmer. It seems to be running ok, and it definitely makes a significant power difference, especially on extreme setting (which I will rarely use). I mainly am going to be using it for the added mpg. There definitely fells like significant blockage because of the DPF. The bully dog system itself is great, it worked flawlessly, and it utilizes the existing pyrometers, which makes the install relatively simple. Just worried about blowing something up that's all

That is nice to hear. Are your tail pipes black? And have you noticed your truck going into regen more often?

My tailpipes are not black or sooty at all,they are super clean.If you have the black sooty pipes i believe you probably have a cracked DPF.Mine goes into regen usually once a fillup.The PMT will show you that your truck is in regen.BullyDog has a great support group also.The origional R&D dept. is about an hour from me,and they have a great group of tech's. Good Luck!

I get 11-12 around town driving and 13 -15 hiway depending on how fast i drive,At 80-85 i get 13 and at 55-65 i get 15,But i have lot's of power especially towing my boat or travel trailer.Maybe the new Reflash will help a little when it comes out.Like i tell my buddies if i bought the truck for mileage i would have bought an F150.But i bought it to tow and it does that very well.
