Fill out your signature and let us know what your truck is and current mods then we will help you the best we can but a trans. either auto or manual will be needed.

Bullydog is only one that is shift on the fly and makes good hp just not much for the track yet programer wise I like the smarty for the best of both worlds best track tuner and will make great hp as well. As far as a fuel box goes I like the tst will make the most hp and offers the most variability, the x2 from quadzilla is super smooth and I really like mine, or the mp-8 makes good power and works well when stacked.

Bullydog, Quadzilla, TST, Edge.

Of those 4, the Edge and the Quad don't get reports of problems other than a few isolated instances. The BD and the TST both have a pretty good sized history of complaints.

Hot Juice for your 04.5 is 180hp. I think Quad is about 160hp but possibly stronger down low than the Juice.

Just got back from Kona last week,shipped my ford on YB and was imperssed on how much dodge trucks are on the road so i had to read up on it and from what i reed iam impressed,anyways it take alot of money to build up these trucks just to make what you guys make at stock.As for my ford it has a 140 dp tuner,valve body,exhaust,intake,gauges,wastegate and other stuff.For what i spent so far if i had a dodge i would have way more power.

yeah could've probably been me..there's one other mega dually cruising around with 19.5 driv "Don Dually"wheels, i THINK i'm the only mega with alcoas so far......

i had a 2001 ford too....injectors,turbo dp tuning the works...and i felt the same way about the power.....it takes mad cash to boost a ford....plus the powder metal rods are a bummer....my 7.3 was really nice though, black cc/lb,6spd...lifted and well built motor....i miss it.....sold it to a guy from oahu....there's pics in my gallery!!


in the end go for the dodge and don't look back!!!! the truck itself is ok..but the motor is SICK!

Felt the same way about my F-350. Great truck....If I could have kept the truck and dumped the Cummins in it, I would have had the ultimate! Well IMO anyway.
