Well it arrived today, I installed it on the Tow / Econ mode and it feels good.

You can tell a big difference taking off from a stop, light pressure on the pedal now gets you moving much better. I also noticed that you use a lot less pedal to maintain speed as well. From a stop, just letting off the brake the truck goes to about 5mph or so with your foot off the pedal.
There were no shifting re learn issues at this level, everything seems very stock, except for the added power. Before when it shifted there was a noticable On/Off feeling in the power, thats gone, now it's much smoother.

As I bought this to help with MPG and towing my 28ft race trailer, I'll keep it in this mode. However, there is an 05 Ford F350 than needs some attention, I'll step up to the Performance level for him... ;)

Can the power pup adjust speedometer for tire sizes?

Yes, up to 35 inch, it may go higher, but the ABS light will glow.
It will remove the speed limits as well, but the 06 is totally adjustable in 5 mph settings.

How does this install? Just plug it into the ALDL and it flashes the PCM? How much is the Tow mode supposed to add?

You pull 4 fuses, hook up to the computer and push a few buttons and it's done in about 2 minutes. Don't forget to put the fuses back. ;)

The tow mode adds 48 HP and 134 TQ, performance mode is 69 and 209 with extreme being 138/294. But the Allison won't like that for long.

One day soon you will put it on extreme and you wont believe the difference.

):h I already hit the performance setting tonight, it felt great but with the quick shifting it seemed to be shifting more than pulling. ;)

I don't have a boost or EGT so I went back to towing...:)

I would assume you plan to install gauges? I would be interested to know the EGT's in each tune of the power pup. I am waiting to see all the power options available for the LBZ. Actually, my interest is in the Edge but will consider all the options available for this motor.

Is this on an LBZ or LLY?

Josh, I have an lly, but it works on both.

I got mine today, one word wow! I dont have guages either so I didn't beat on it to much, but I'm ready to put a union pacific sticker on the side because she smokes like a train. now just the wait for the outlook, and let the real fun begin):h

Does it bump it to LLY power specs + the advertised hp gain, or to lbz power specs + the advertised hp gain?

nevermind, I called bullydog

They said the economy/tow tune (level 1) will bump up the power of the lly and lbz to the same amount, i.e. you gain 5-10hp with the lbz on level 1, but 55-60hp with the lly. An lly truck with the level 1 program will be identical to an lbz truck with the level 1 program, and the same for other levels. Sweet.

i think i have that can of whoop-ash for him ):h

138/294. But the Allison won't like that for long.
so is that gain on the lly or lbz motor? does the power pup just work like a hypertech or something, i want something with trans monitoring and egt stuff like the edge box

I got mine today... Went by the instructions, pulled 4-fuses, turned key to "on" (without the engine running)... It says... "Unknown Part #04C052CC Error 6 Contact Bully Dog"...:(

I'm calling tomorrow... I hope they're there...:damnit1:


I suppose the Dodge guy will claim it's because I have a Duramax :idiot:

Someone else had an issue like that and Bully Dog sent him the needed info.

Mine went very smoothly, and I went from stock to Tow, tow to Power, and then back to tow over three days without issue.

Jeff, Go get him, I hear it's already had a head gasket issue...

mine worked fine also below is a link to the one with the simmilar problem.

Can I clear any/ all SES codes with it? If I remove it can the dealer tell I had it on?

yes on the codes, no if you reinstall the stock program before you take it in.

Thanks - thats what I thought.

Nope... I started a new thread labeled "LBZ Power Pup" with the "Story"...:)
