Installed a Bully Dog Triple Dog Power Pup. Install went ok. Tried starting it and would run briefly at low RPM then stall. Did this 3 times then it wouldn't start at all. Followed the limited instructions for resetting it back to stock. That didn't work either. Now I get a message that says there is a VIN mismatch. BD website no help. Any suggestions - PLEASE?

 

wow. . .normally, I would say pm Buddy, but not now...hopefully somebody will chime in and give you some answers.

 

Call Bullydog in the morning, hopefully they can get you up and running quickly.

 

Keep us posted on the outcome.

 

sounds like a rail sensor disconnected or faulty or something in the rail sensor circuit?

 

I've had issues like that before... only thing to do is call Bully Dog and have them walk ya throught it..

 

Well I spoke with Tech Support at BD. We updated the software in my programmer (was 2.2.7, now 2.5.0), and reloaded it with the factory settings for my truck. I will run the recovery mode tonight when I get home (after church) and hopefully my truck will start. I will probably wait until this weekend to reload the program so I don't have to leave my wife stranded again. I'll let you know how it all works out.

My goal here is to do a comparison between this unit and the Flashpaq that a buddy of mine has ('05 with similar equipement). If the BD is comparible I will probably buy it, if not I'll start shopping for a Flashpaq. Anyone have any input, preferences?

The recovery install worked. The truck fired right up. I'll attempt to upload the programmer again tonight. I'll let you know how that goes.
