Oh, BABY... now that'll give you wood.:rolleyes:


CWB

they claim those to be rear wheel hp and tq numbers, not crank. I'm still going to wait until january for the triple dog, they are claiming another 80 to 100 hp increase over the pup with it!

How much extra HP can the Allison take before it grenade's??:eek:

what else if anything needs to be done to get 458hp/936tq? can it be done with this only? "Be ease on me i am a newbe" Also if you add this and nothing else how often can it be used at what setting before you mess something up and what would that something be? :cool:

bully dog has alot of safety features, so it will back down power when egt's get to high or the tranny slips.

I'm fairly new myself so i'm not sure, I'm thinking its with no other mod's or maby with exhaust and filter since nothing else is out for the lbz, but I have a 4" exhaust already and the afe filter coming this week, I have driven my lbz like I stole it since day one with no problems, so after I put the bully dog on there I'll let you know what breaks and if the warranty covered it.;)

BTW definately keep us posted on the power improvement.

Guys, not to step on the toes of the sponsors, but Summit Racing has them for under $400...

I ordered mine today, bully Dog is out of stock already, they gave 1 week as a ship date.

Yes, it's for the 06 lly and LBZ, bully dog sent me an E-mail two days ago telling me it was ready. One call to my friend at Summit and it's ordered. ;)

Most will say about 100 and then you are starting to push it.. I know a few who have run in the 120-150 range for a period of time then it was all downhill from there. Once you limp it, just gets easier each time.. Hope that helps..

So the question is, does it add the same power to the '06 LLY, or does it put down the same power as the upgraded LBZ with the new program?...

thanks for the heads up, I was going to wait until january and get the tripledog but I gave in and ordered the pup from summit for $382.xx shipped.

I'm not finding it on Summit.

it was not on their site I had to call them and they had it in their system.just ask for the bully dog power pup downloader for the 06 lbz bd part# 43568 they can pull it right up.

Sweet.

Now... before I jump in with both feet.....

Would I be better off waiting for the Predator? Cost looks comparable.
What are the differences between the two? Basically, I'm looking to correct the speedo for the 285's and get a little extra kick. I will likely never go beyond the 60-70hp tune.

Ya... 2nd question, also posted above by someone else but not answered....
My LLY is 310hp. The LBZ is 360.
Is their 69hp tune a total of 429 for both engines, or only 379 for the LLY? :D

How does the BD work in comparison to the Edge w/attitude? All I have ever used is the Edge w/attitude. Does the BD stay connected at all times, or do you actually do programming with it and remove it? I don't want to ask which one is better, because I know that is personal preference and that would go on for days. Has anyone run them both and can give a quick breakdown of some pro's and con's of the 2?

Thanks,
Jeff

:banghead: Nope... Didn't see your post 'til you pointed it out... Now I have to wait 'til I see what they do... BTW, It's not just some 'schmoe' on eBay, it's a company called ETR Diesel Performance, and they are an authorized dealer for Bully Dog. (And it's free shipping.)

:thankyou2

bully dog says the power pup won't be out till next month.

ok i got the programmer today and i got charged $431.32 as the auction was listed even though the $400 price was accepted. i called and questioned this and the gentleman on the phone geoff the manager said that he thought it was clear on teh phone that i was to be charged the full price and i told him it wasnt. he gladly refunded the credit for the 31.32 and he stated to me that the units WILL NOT be sold on ebay for less then that, he has declined all offers he says becuase there are none out there and he knows the demand for the units.

bully dog says the power pup won't be out till next month.
the triple dog will be out in jan. the powerpup is out now.

Yup.... just ordered mine from Summit.

Read the thread guys.... the information you need is there.

You have to call them!

$371 or something like that plus shipping. My total was $399 and some change and that included $19.95 shipping and a Summit t-shirt.

Yes, they are in backorder. Summit is expecting them the 1st or 2nd week of January, but they will drop-ship so I might get it sooner.
If you absolutely have to have it immediately, then the eBay deal for $431 shipped is not bad.

I ordered mine from summit last night and they called me this afternoon and left a message saying it will ship tomorrow! btw you should have asked them to throw in the shipping, I did and they gave me one for $382 and some change shipped. they only made me pay the processing fee.

cool thanks

ok i just put the stage 3 the one Level 3-Performance 69 Hp & 209 Ft/Lbs Of Torque. the truck is insane burnouts ar enothing for a duelly now!!! the truck still has 25 psi at WOT with the turbo, i have to knock it down to the stage 2 since i dont have a pyrometer yet.

Now I want an LBZ!! :banghead:

I have a feeling they are going to haul some arse!! :ro)

def the best money i spent so far, i should probably get a 4" straight pipe kit for the truck though next

Did Bully Dog say how the 6 speed (ally) copes with the top level?

they recommend a higly modified transmission they stated. he said the shift enhancer would help alot on it

This isnt intended to be anything negative twards you camaroracer.

JMO but the "shift enhancer" wont do crap.

Also JMO but I am going to wait till a product comes out from another vendor. They do some shaddy stuff at times. Like signing up about 3 people on this board pretending to be regular joes that have bought the stuff trying to hype up bullydog. That way they could keep away from paying vendor fees and also get people to believe that they were just happy end users.:badidea:

Ratlover, do you have any pics of your truck, thats the same truck that i should have got 3 days ago but its not in yet. :mad:

ok so i wont be buying the shift enhancer, im not an employee or a spokes person for bullydog believe me. you def do feel a difference in the truck though no lie.

Are you thinking of BD or Westers?

Not saying you are and I totaly believe you(besideds you dont have the same IP as the other jokers at bullydog that points back to a bullydog domain;) ) And not saying thier product dosnt produce results. Just saying I have a problem with them and wont buy based on that.

No bullydog did this, fairly recently

Okay... interesting. I saw a thread where Mac had a run-in with a (alleged) Wester's shill this week, but I had done quite a few searches on BD before calling Summit and didn't see anything indicative of that kind of activity. A fair number of happy users, and a fair number of users complaining about timing knock in colder weather until the engine warms up when running the hotter tunes.
My plans are to stick with level 2, so I'm not overly concerned.

I agree, I'm sticking to level 2 as well. When other programs become available I'll give them a look as well.

For now I'm just happy to have something available for the 06.

so what is the differene between the triple dog and the pup?

so what is the differene between the triple dog and the pup?
the power pup will not be able to take the crazy larry program or have the outlook monitor yet.(outlook will be avail. for the pup the end of january). if you wait until january they will have the triple dog with outlook, and it has the crazy larry program for a 200 to 230 hp gain.(they say) with the pup you are limited to "just" a 138hp gain. also the triple dog will work on any year or model. so when you trade in it will work on your new truck. after the software is released of course. I was going to wait for the triple but I gave in and ordered a pup, so when the triple comes out in jan. I will have a pup for sale.

I'm not finding it on Summit.

It's on there now... If you put in the part number BLY-43568 it comes up at $373.99. However, when you go to "Check out" it prices at $443.95.

So... Call them and tell them... :exactly:


I got it shipped (including "Tax") for $411.xx

The salesman said "Don't tell your Forum" :muahaha:

Yup, mine was $373 and shipped for $382.

I have a friend that works for Summit, and he had to get them to set a price after checking with Bully Dog. After Summit set the price and decided they were available I made the post on here to help others.

Two Tampa area Bully Dog dealers that I called both wanted $479+ tax for them...

Keep in mind that Kimosabe and Summit are both in Nevada, so he has to pay sales tax. My tax rate is 7.75%, which would put the unit at about $400 before "processing" and shipping. If he got it for $411, then he got it with shipping thrown in.


Hmm.... yours was $382 shipped? I'm going to have to double check mine now... my shirt arrived yesterday (I placed the order Thursday noon-ish).
This invoice is $19.90, which is $8.85 "handling" and $10.95 for the shirt, free shipping.
He said that all of the "fees" would be on this order, so when the BD ships they will only invoice the cost of the BD.... $373 + 19.90 = 392.90.
I honestly can't remember if he said the total on the order was $393 or $399.
It was definitely under $400 total for both.

I asked about that... Summit has a "Reciprocity" agreement with Nevada (and a few others) to collect Sales Tax... Several years ago the Nevada Legislature went after companies selling to Nevada, to collect (and pay) the Sales Tax... I like the price I got.:exactly:

BTW The "Best Offer Price" (to Google) of $395.00 I offered, "Expired", so I called Summit...

Thanks for the "Heads-Up":thankyou2

what I usually do when I run across that is have it shipped to a coworker that lives in new mexico, and since I drive down there for work 4 day's a week I just pick it up there and save $

I do basically the same thing. I have a friend that lives in Reno and if I buy something online that is based in California, I just have it mailed to his address and I go there about once a week anyway. I refuse to give California my hard earned money, especially on a military paycheck, and stuck in a place I don't want to be.

I'm surprised we don't run into that in CA.
I've had several vendors do that to me, and California was pretty agressive a few years ago.

California law is written in a very interesting way... this applies to mail-order OR for goods imported. If no sales tax was paid at the time of purchase, then legally, I should report all out of state purchases on my CA income tax form.
IF sales tax was paid at the time of purchase (regardless of the rate), then the item does not need to be reported to CA.

Summit has a Distrubution center in NV, and another state, they have to collect taxes in those states. I didn't post my price at first because it came from a friend at Summit, but it was the same as 06lbzduramax's price.

I'm just glad that we are now able to have a downloader for the 06's.

i was having alot of fun with this thing around town on the weekend. the gf loves the truck even more now!!! i have averaged 12mpg around town which hasnt moved from the stock settings which is good to me i think. i am tempted about the extreme tune but dont know about the transmission, etc. anyone have any thoughts? id love to see what this beast really would do!!:ro)

i am tempted about the extreme tune but dont know about the transmission, etc. anyone have any thoughts? id love to see what this beast really would do!!:ro)
Check out Mike's thread on his teardown of the 6spd.
Basically, SOME of the clutch holding power has been increased, but not all.
All of the clutch packs are identical... same part numbers. It's "just" some valving changes providing better pressure.
Given that, I would be extremely cautious in going much higher than the level 3 tune.

How did the trans do on relearning the new power level? Are you on level 2 or 3 now?

i am on level 3 which as bully dog calls it the performance level. for the first mile or 2 it acted kinda weird shifting etc. after driving the truck for about 15 minutes or so it leveled out and the truck runs awesome now though!!

Anybody made it to a dyno yet with the pup??? Wandering what kind of numbers are being put down, other than manufacturer claims.

i dont know but the butt dyno says its got alot more torque and you can feel the extra hp though too!. im wondering now if a 4" wide open exhaust would make a power diff or not?

I'm going to try to make the Jan 21 Dyno day in Ontario. I should have the Pup by then.
I've never been to a dyno day, so I'm not sure how much time you get between runs.... do they strap you in and you just get a best-of-3 printout, or would I have time to run it at level 3, then 2, then stock?


Do you need to yank fuses for the Pup?

Rich, normally they give you 30 minutes to make the 3 runs, for cool down.
You should have enough time to make changes, at least this is the way it's done with cars.

I'm very interested in your numbers, I'll have to see if our local dyno can do diesels.

Keep in mind that two different dynos can produce different results.
Steve's LBZ varies by over 20rwhp between two different local dynos.

Summit was rude and quoted me $427. I won't be using them no matter how cheap.
Will a power pup void my warranty? Can they tell I had one if I return it to the stock tune?

I noticed last night that they had bumped the price on their web site.

Technically, yes, any tuner can void your warranty. Can is the key word.
Persuant to Magnusson-Moss, your warranty can only be voided if the manufacturer can prove that the aftermarket device caused the failure.
ONLY parts affected by the aftermarket parts can be voided, IOTW: Your engine/trans warranty can not be voided by a suspension lift, however, if your tranny fails due to excessive slippage, it could be blamed on your 37" boggers.

Can they tell if you had a tune and removed it? Dunno with 100% certainty. As far as we know, all they can do is tell that you have recently cleared codes, though after enough engine cycles, even that memory is overwritten.

Thanks. Anybody know how many cycles will clear it?

Thanks. Anybody know how many cycles will clear it?
At least a few weeks.
One of the guys on Tundrasolutions replaced his battery and failed his smog test a few days later. The tester said that the computer was showing too many tests not run and passed, indicating that the ECU had been reset.
After 2 weeks he passed.

Have any of you ran your power pup on the extreme stage yet???

no, i would liek to know if the stock trans holds up but i dont want to be the one testing it haha

Well, i tried mine lastnight it is awesome to say the least. The difference between the performance stage and the extreme stage is huge. But one the extreme stage you can tell that you are straining the stock trans a bit.

a bit? whats a bit? what did it do/didnt do?

It felt to me like it flared a little on the 2-3 shift and the 3-4 shift. It could be the program or maybe it needs to be drove for awhile so it can learn to shift. the trans shifts perfect in the performance mode. Has anyone that you know of done a shift kit on a 6 speed yet?

Camaroracer, what size of muffler did you get, how is the noise level, did you notice any performance gain?

3.5" muffler, noise level didnt change alot, performance is better

so will the 6 speed allison take the extreme level tune for a while? i wanna know?!?!?

so will the 6 speed allison take the extreme level tune for a while? i wanna know?!?!?

Try it! :D

I highly doubt it....................the converter will still slip around 700rwtq. The trans is somewhat stronger but the converter is not.

:( freaking allison and theyre cheap torque convertors!! ok:rant: is over

Still better than the converter behind the Cummins... ;)

There is One rule. "There will always be a weak link"

If I was to upgrade just the converter in my LBZ, and if something went wrong, would it void any warrenties?

I have been waiting on a new convertor for a over a week now and I posed the same question to the dealership since there are no replacements available anywhere in the country and they have no idea when there will be. They said they thought an aftermarket convertor would void the warrantee. Another week and a half and I am at lemon law.

Has anyone with the Bullydog run the 1/4 mile yet? What configuration truck and what setting?

You are correct, sir.

just ordered mine...should recieve tomm...paid $10 for saturday delivery

What kind of temps are you guys getting with the power pup on the performance stage if you mash it to the floor and hold it there by the time i am in 4th it is almost 1400!

Yea I called those monkeys today and they said 431 + SH, last week it was (phil) 389 WITH SH,what the heck. Ah screw'em many new pgmrs cooming next month ill bet.

In fairness to Summit, $431 is the price for the LLY and other Pups, as well as the eBay buy-it-now price.

I'm getting worried though, since they don't charge your CC until the item ships and they are on backorder. I'm going to be pissed if I'm charged $431.

I would not worry to much,I was just looking at my statement online and they charged me correct, $382.84

I'm getting worried though, since they don't charge your CC until the item ships and they are on backorder. I'm going to be pissed if I'm charged $431.

I ordered mine... Talked to "Cliff"... on 12/19. My CC was charged on 12/19... Price: $373.99, Shipping: Free, Handling: $8.95, AND because I live in Nevada; Sales Tax: $28.99, Total: $411.93... I haven't seen it yet... It says (on my Invoice) "Drop Ship UPS Ground"... I'll let you guys know when it shows up...
:exactly:

Rich, I agree with 06, I recieved an invoice in the mail and its billed correctly.

Now, I wish BD would ship the D*mmed thing... :D
I was told it would ship the first part of the week.

Please ignore me, I'm not much for waiting. ;)

California laws are a bit different... I ordered on the 15th, but they can not actually invoice or charge my card until the item is shipped.
I just checked, still not been charged.

The invoice that arrived with the t-shirt indicates backorder, expected ship date 01/13/06.

They need to make California its own country. Or have an earthquake go all the way around it and sink into the ocean. I think that is the only way for me to get out of this god-forsaken-state.:rolleyes:

Mine said "Vendor will ship, one week per BLY" Dated 12/14/05. Total charges $382.94

Its Christmas time, everything is slow, but I'm impatient. ;)

for anyone who did not get in on the summit price I was surfing and found www.xtremediesel.com has a 5% off sale and free shipping on them, they are going for $410.xx shipped

just got my power pup for my 06 LBZ and it won't work. I had the new version of the uploader emailed to me but it won't work. It keeps coming up with "this application has failed to start because MFC71D.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." I've removed it a few times and it still won't work.

If anyone else has the v1.05 version and can email me that would be awesome. I'd love to smoke some tires off before the christmas break is over

TIA

:cool2: How many miles should you wait before hooking up
the bully dog on a new truck.

fd1627

I dont think it matters, but imho I would wait for 500-1000 miles so if you have any trouble that is not related to the programmer, or any production bugs you can get them taken care of first.

Put the programmer on yesterday before going to Miami. Put 376 miles @ 70-75 mph and only had to put in 20.1 gallons. Thats about 18.76 mpg. Not bad. Have noticed that the DIC is off about 1.7 gallons now. Read used 18.4 gallons but filled it with 20.1. Anybody had this issue when they installed the programmer?

Two things.... verify your speed and odometer with a GPS. If they are not accurate, play with your tire size to correct. This MAY make a difference.

Have you run the same route before and know that it is indeed 376 miles? Run a "directions" on Yahoo or Google maps and verify.

If it seems "close but not quite right" on Google, then head out with a passenger and use mile markers to run a 10-mile run with the cruise control set to 60... should take you 10 minutes and the odometer should increase by 10 miles.

Programmers and Plug-in boxes like the Edge will generally throw off the DIC reading, as they "lie" to the computer about how much fuel is actually used. Normally, we see higher than actual MPG figures, with the DIC showing 22-28 and actual being 16-19.

Rideit, other than the mpg, how did the truck feel after?

Details please... :D

Just checked Summit, they finally have my order online. Expected arrival 12/27... not sure if that's when they're expecting BD to ship or when they expect me to get it.

I'll be out of town until Thursday, so it may or may not beat me home :)

Thanks for the heads up Rich, I just checked...

BLY-43568 DURAMAX POWER PUP A Shipped on 12/22/05 $373.99 1 $373.99

Runs awesome. from a roll it will blow the tires off in Perf level. Putting back to Tow/Econ tonight. Dont want to f*** anything up. It doesnt seem to shift right on 1-2 shift like this, so going to econ mode. Had plenty of power to begin with, just wanted more. "Horsepower is good, more is better, too much is just enough." I am not living by this motto any longer.

Will get my hand held GPS to verify odometer and speed.

The trans needs to re learn the new power, it's normal and just takes a few miles.

I can't wait until tuesday... :D

This is also the case with my buddies Magelin GPS, as his GPS shows about a 2 MPH Difference also...

I agree, my 06 was about 1.5 faster than my GPS. After the 265/17's went on the Speedo is now 3 less than actual. Helps keep the warranty a little longer... ;)

Mine is 1 MPH faster than my GPS at 60 MPH. I'm very happy with my triple dog, I have outlook... without it, the defuel will not work. The egt probe hooks up to the outlook. I haven't seen a free upgrade on the Bullydog web page that has the LBZ on it. I just upgraded to 2.2.2 last week. I wish I had a LBZ but it's sticks being the ginipigs...

General Motors way of running you and everyone else out of warranty faster.

Set the tire size so you actually gain the 2-5 mph and then you'll have the warranty tim/miles you should be getting.

T:eek: NY

You will find all the OEM speedo's to read slightly fast. They have gotten sued and regulated 1 too many times so things get set to allow for all possible conditions to not read slow. The goverment regulates how close to perferct they must be so they stay inside those regulations.

verify your speed and odometer with a GPS.


How accurate are GPS's?

Not trying to be a smartass, but I know speedometers/odometers are fairly strictly regulated on new vehicles (laws governing them).

GPS's on the other hand are a newer technology and not regulated (to the public).

I'm not saying they are/aren't accurate, but they may not be the bible.....

just got my power pup for my 06 LBZ and it won't work. I had the new version of the uploader emailed to me but it won't work. It keeps coming up with "this application has failed to start because MFC71D.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." I've removed it a few times and it still won't work.

If anyone else has the v1.05 version and can email me that would be awesome. I'd love to smoke some tires off before the christmas break is over

TIA

Quick update: Huge thanks go out to Brent at Bully Dog for emailing me the files I needed on Christmas day:eek: :ro)

It works pretty good on extreme :muahaha:

hows the trans holding up on extreme, doyou haev boost and pyro gauges for it?

the pup was just put on tues. night no pyro or boost gauges yet.

youre running on extreme daily or what power tune?

True, they are, but once you change tire sizes, all bets are off.
If you attempt to correct for the tire size change with a tuner, you may still not be dead-on. People running 285/75-16's have reported that their speedometer verifies accurate with programmer-input tire sizes ranging from 265/75-16 to 305/70-17. Some indicate accuracy with 305/70-16, even though it is theoretically the same diameter as the 285/75-16.

Yes, the GPS is just one way to check. It happens to be a very easy way to check at various speeds. To further verify, one could attempt to maintain an indicated 60mph and verify by clock using mile markers, however, that doesn't work too well in California where markers are not clearly designated (we actually have them every 1/10th mile, but they're in fine print and often missing or obscured).

:exactly:

hows that trans holding up? does it feel like its straining? did you get gauges and if so where are the temps running, etc?

so far the trans is fine (it's only a 10-15 min drive to work). Don't have gauges yet and no real plans for them either. Don't really want to give the dealer a reason to start looking for other mods ;)

haha thats hilarious, do you romp on the truck alot? im thinking of going the extreme level but dont want to damage the trans

Ditto... and I really really really wouldn't mess with romping or towing anything above stock without at least a pyro.

Boost is fluff for the most part... I doubt that any 40-150hp tuner is likely to attempt to run more than 30psi, but EGT is pretty touchy. I can ramp it up to over 1200 with a simple WOT run passing someone on the highway. 70mph cruise on a slight grade at 8psi results in about 1k EGT's. WOT or a steep hill can get the boost up to 25.
That's with a stock LLY.

The TTS catback will certainly help that, but especially on the higher output LBZ, I'd put a pyro in there or back off on the tune.

just a little here and there;) seriously, not that often. I had a shift kit put in by my buddy before, that really helps it too. I've never kept into it from a dead stop longer then 4th gear. by that time it's going good enough
