First off, thanks to Sumner for selling me these things, he was very paitient with all my questions (and I had losts believe me) [duhhh]

The S&B is great, installation was a breeze and it sounds great, way louder than stock but not obnoxious. The box is only supported at the rear, I think it might bounce around a little so I'll be adding a support bracket in front soon.


As for the BD Triple Dog, all I can say is Holy Edited!! What a difference, never thought a 8000 pound truck could have that 'push you back into the seats' feeling like my old big block Chevelles!! [coffee]

Today was the first day with no rain in a long time (like 22 days) and I got to try out extreme on dry roads, man what a rush! Soon as the turbo winds up the thing takes off!!

Maybe the other BDTD owners out there can tell me if 'extreme' will slip my original clutch? I think that's as far as I'll ever go, but then again I also said I'd leave it all stock till the warranty is up! [laugh]
I think Crazy Larry would fry the clutch for sure.
Never thougfht a big ole diesel truck could do what this thing does.

Makes me wonder though, every year GM, Dodge and Ford practically compete for who has the most HP, the most torque. If all it takes is a little 'tweaking' to the computer, why don't they come with a little more oomph from the factory? Emmisions I'm guessing¿

Apparently I can call BD to get a passwoed to allow me to get into the "torque management options", can any of you BD guys tell me something about this, what it does, how it works etc? Also, is there no way to adjust for tire size? (thinking of trying 315's on H2's)

With help from this place I enabled my hi idle by grounding pin 22 of the ecm, got my fogs on with the highs, adjusted my accesory delay, got rid of the seatbelt warning etc, so far I'm a very happy Bully Dogger!! http://www.flybc.ca/forum/style_emoticons/flybc/thumbup.gif http://www.flybc.ca/forum/style_emoticons/flybc/jump.gif

Thanks guys.
I've heard of boost foolers, can you explain what they do, how they work?

Well, with the downloader it changes fueling, timing and maybe pressure but, it does not change any of the other parameters that go with that tuning.

So a boost fooler simply plugs into the MAP sensor and we block the ECM from seeing certain signals and it allows the extra fueling to spool the stock turbo up un the lower 40psi range. In most applications with a downloader this will give you another 15-25hp up top and it will cool your WOT Egt's in the 150-200 or more range.

It is something that is cheap and simple and you only notice it above 30psi or so.
