Use the search feature to search things like "programmers" "modules" "mods and dealer" etc

IMO buy a triple dog from Bullydog if they have one available yet for your year model.

welcome

WELCOME to the site! Most people on here will tell you to wait a little bit before you start doing mods to it. Probly round 10k or so. Just to make sure you got all the bugs out if it.

Well all that depends upon if you want to keep the rest of your truck stock or not.

If you plan on doing the tranny, exhaust, intake and so on you would be safe with any programmer.

Some of the programmers for stock trucks that i have heard about are the Quadzilla XZT, Van Aaken, and others big tuners that are set on their low tunes.

There are 4 more powerfull tuners that this site seems to like: Bully Dog, Smarty, Quad Race, Edge J/A.

I'm not really a pro at this so hopefully somebody else with more experience will chime in

Welcome!!! I would wait on the mods and even only when you are ready to give up your warranty.

I would do a little re-search.. Don't know of a whole lot of options for 07's yet.. I know there's some in the works but haven't heard of many yet..

I have my boost and egt gauges going in next week just to have. I did order the bully dog but after much reading and searching on here I might send it back.I dont want it to leave foot prints or get the brazil program. I called bully dog and they said ours does not leave any foot prints. But everything I read is that it does leave foot prints.

Everything leaves foot prints if the dealer was really out to get you! they may be reading this now just waiting for you to decide what to buy! you never know!!!

If you like your warranty, stay stock. Gauges are always a good idea anyway

Very true never had a ******* problem with power joke or d-max and mods. But this is my first dodge dont really know how the dodge ******* is.

If you like your warranty, stay stock. Have not towed with truck yet goint to get new toy hauler thursday and feel like truck is not going to have enough horses to do the job. Gauges are always a good idea anyway
Agree about gauges

Smarty says that it dosent leave any footprints, but I am not sure if they have anything for the 07 yet. There isnt much yet for the 07, only a matter of time though

there are programmers and modules.

examples of programmers are smarty, bddl, hypertech, superchips, etc
examples of modules are quad, van aaken, edge, bank$(sorry for including that one)

these are entirely different animals and shouldn't be confused. just my $.02
