Been trying to find out about the Bully Dog Dodge 12V Fuel Pin part #42190. Bully Dog says it's a gain of 40 hp and 70 foot pounds of torque....Has anybody tried the this pin and if so, is it worth buying?
Also how hard is it to install?
From Bully Dog web page:

The fuel pin is going to give you a considerable gain in HP and power response. That is usually the first step that most people take when stepping over the edge of the slippery slope. You will love it.

 

Thanks for the reply....Another question, is the a better source to get the fuel pin other then Bully Dog?

 

Yes, your garage. I bought a PDR pin, but realized that I could have done it just the same with a dremel. Save you a lot of money.

 

It's like most things you buy, once you get it in your hand you want to slap yourself cause you could of done the same thing and saved yourself some money.....

 

look up old smokey pin, or old smokey fuel pin. both using the search method, and check the sticky.

 

That was my first down fall...........I mean mod. Before you buy please check out the Old Smokey fuel pin. I wish I did. It seems that the original idea was somehow "borrowed" by Bully Dog. I am very happy with the results of the fuel pin. I am not sure about Bully Dog's business ethics. The Bully Dog fuel pin is kind of soft. I found that the AFC pin cuts a groove in the Bully Dog fuel pin unless you take time to radiius the end that engages the fuel pin. I take it out ever so often to clean and lube.

 

I agree with all of them ^. Dont buy one, not from Bully Dog anyway. I had mine done by a member on here.

mine-$25,

Bully-$175.

Do it yourself-*FREE*

What looks the best to you?

 

To do it yourself which sounds like a great ideal...How can I fine out how much of the fuel pin needs to be grinded?

 

hmmm.... search for G1625S in the photo gallery. in his gallery, he has a picture of stock, and cut pins.

 

Thanks for all of the information....Learn something new...Great group here....Saw the pictures & sent a messege to Old Smoky. I'll see what happens from here.....

 

The fuel pin was the first step off the slippery slope...I mean mod I did myself. It was really easy to remove the old one and put the new one back in.
