my buddy has an 05 CTD he just put the bullydog chip w outlook monitor on. hes not very smart. he stopped by today and said the first few days he could roast the tires all around town and now when he gets on it the truck just accelerates...i warned him about the tranny, but i thought maybe its the chip defueling to save the tranny. what do you all think? just curious

 

I would say his tranny is screwed because to my knowledge the Bullydog downloader or chip do not have safety features on them like banks chips do.

 

As far as I know, Officer Rockittboy, The trans may be screwed.

Check the trans fluid for burning, and replace asap!

I suppose that he does not have guages either?

I think you are right... He's not very smart.

 

outlook = gauges?

 

The outlook monitor is guages.

 

I would say its the tranny, or more likely the converter. When I first put my Edge JWA on, I could also roast the tire (one wheel wonder) for like 100 yards. Since then I have registered slip on the tranny/converter multiple times and now if I try to abuse it, it only lays a track about 75 - 100 feet. I will be upgrading the tranny in the next couple months though.

 

hehehe...thats what i figured. no hes not very bright and i thought the outlook WAS gauges...doesnt mean he pays attn. to them. more of an accquaintance, so i dont really care, i warned him tho.

 

If you run a pyro then you can set the defuel level on the Bully Dog Outlook monitor

take a look at the Outlook on the right side of the screen , see if it says 100% , and you will know if he is running full power or derate, it may say 75% or 50% , this happen to me one time while playing with the monitor.

 

I'm not sure if the Outlook will defuel, but the Juice w/ Attitude will if it detects slip, or if the boost or EGTs get too high.
