I just got one but have not installed it yet. It's the BD Power unit and it also stops the defueling between the 1st and 2nd gear shift. I got a great price and if you PM me I will tell you where. Maybe a vender here will chime in too. I would much rather support the venders of my favorite site but money is money.
The BD Power unit is the only one that I could find by the way.
PM AKRAM. He has one and said with his turned on, his truck goes from 15 second times to 12 seconds!!!
The drawback is that when it's turned on you lose all your factory guages.....
Seems pretty simple to install but you do have to tap into some of the ECM wires......

Guys, I also have BD RAD....the switch only turns off torque management defueling....the top speed limiter is gone whether the unit is on or off. You have to be a little careful as the guages start clipping the speed signal at about 70 and the speedometer will not go over 80 even if you are going almost 120mph I wouldn't use the RAD in the on position without a built tranny as if the tranny locks up the TC in 1st gear at 18mph like mine does and the boost is 40psi or more at WOT....that is what the tranny gets. A stock tranny will not take 400 or more hp on a locked shift. ks

oyu are saying that you loose all you factory gauges with the bd on , why is that sounds like bd needs to find away around that would love to get one but will not if i am losing my gauges .

Adventuris, Yep all the gauges are connected to the ECM. The only gauge I miss is the tach. All the good gauges are better in aftermarket format. You only use RAD when racing and then the gauges don't get a lot of looksie time. When the RAD switch is off you still have no speedlimiter but only the speedo is clipped to 80mph...the rest of the gauges work. When the RAD is on then everything including the Odometer is stopped. ks

well i went and picked one up this morning,the install was easy. just make sure you cut the right wires .i dont know how much it helped 1/4mi times because the outlook dosent work in race mode,it just sez 54 mph.

...alright...REALLY dumb question but....how do I know if I'm suffering from the torque management issue? I can comfortably launch with 8 lbs of boost (can't say I've tried much more).

It's the second gear shift that's affected...

your truck is an 03. the ecm cuts fuel when the truck starts to shift.when i had my tranny re done i could realy tell, but with the rad on it will chirp the tires shifting in to 2nd now.with it off the shift seems softer .does the make any sense?

Ramirezh

Makes sense thanks....one thing though...after I got my transmission done....I chirp the tires when shifting into second....no RAD
