I have heard good about both. However, I have a friend that sells performance parts for diesels. He put the diablo programmer on his truck and within two weeks blew an injector. Another friend of his purchased one of these from him and has had problems with injectors too. Just a little bit of info. I am not sure why or what is causing this, just thought I would chime in. Hope this helps.

The Predator seems to generate more horsepower and is detectable, were as the Triple Dog has more features to it but for me has less horsepower then the Predator and the Triple Dog is suppose to be non detectable.

The triple dog is detectable. it resets the key count.

the triple dog is the choice for an 07 truck.

Predator/puck stack is something good though. might consider that.

If your looking for undetectable leave the programers alone an stick with a box. Both the bddl an diablo reset key counts I have checked both with a scan tool. With that being said from my undestanding so does clearing codes with a scanner, unhooking batteries, dealer reflash, ect. So you could try an argue that defence with the dealer but very unlikly you will win unless its a mod friendly dealership. For the $ an HP the puck is hard to beat.

If I remember right, someone told me that the triple dog was not detectable as long as you do not use the extreme or cazy larry settings. I think they said that a Bullydog technician told them that. I may be wrong but I believe that was it. Or the guy could've been full of it too.
