I did a swap with a fellow DTR member and have a questio or 3. First, it didnt not come with the USB to connect to the internet, how do I know which cable and where can I pick one up? Second, I have plugged it in and messed around a little, but do I need to do a download before I download anything into my truck? Thanks guys. Dave

 

any usb cable will work i believe. I would get the latest download then load it into your truck all at once.
hope others chime in, im just a newbie as well

 

I belive it has 2.3.4 version. Ill have to go check when the rain lets up a little.

I guess I need to go to radio shack for a USB while Im out also.

 

Unless you have a newer truck I don't know if there is any need to update it. I ran an older version when I ran mine. As for the cable I used one from another device, printer or camera or something. I would just put it in the truck and go blow smoke and burn rubber. Maybe go beat a phord or something.

 

i dont think you "need" to have it but its nice to update so you dont hurt anything

 

Get the Crazy Larry while your there, it's worth it.

 

Well crap! I went to download it on the truck and it show is have a TSB for white smok and econ. I guess Ill have to wait till I get that done.

 

haha I have never paid attention to that and i've programmed 5 trucks or so.

You have an 03....no crazy larry for you

 

if it is a Power Pup - there are no upgrades.

only the Triple Dog is upgradeable (per BD R&D guy)
and if look on their site, only the TD is listed.

program it and go.
my 04 would not supply enough fuel for Extreme mode.
just left on Perf.

 

Well it said somthing about damaging or screwing up the PCM so I have been hesitant. Yea, no CL, but its better than nothing.

 

i have the same downloader on my truck. extreme is pretty strong on a stock truck. it will get hot though. performance is nice also.

 

my triple is 2.3.4 also , the guy's at big dog performance helped me do the initial download and when the tsp about the smoke came up he said not to worry about it and he downloaded it . the triple dog will put it's own program on the CPU no matter what dealer programming you have. go for it!! you will love it , and you can pull it out easy enough , just make sure your truck is returned to stock mode before attemtping any updates from the bully dog site.

 

See that what I was thinking, but I have an '03 and everone I have talked to have had an '04,5 and up.

 

is it a triple dog?? i am pretty sure the triple dog is the only one you can upgrade. the extreme setting on the triple is off the hook!! i think it's why i lost my tranny( well i am about 99% sure it is) extreme would light my tires up without even trying, from a deaqd stop when i hammer it my tires would be screamin for mercy !! you will love it qwhen you load it, plug it into the dash connector, and follow the directions on the loader, it will tell you to turn your key to the on position without starting it , you fuel pump will go nutty , and then you will have some fun torturing your tires and humiliating flowerstrokes , mustangs, camaro's, jeese louis! pretty much everything you cross paths with.

 

Extreme or CL? Cause I cant get CL on mine. Yes it is a triple dog. This stupid TSB has got me just sitting here looking at the box.
