A variety of horsepower settings (Stock, Tow and Performance) can accommodate all driving conditions. The setting is controlled and monitored by you, and it also has a heads-up display of engine performance factors (water temp, oil temp, boost pressure, etc.).
Both horsepower and fuel mileage can be optimized simultaneously. “The tuner I use optimizes performance, but is also eco-friendly,” Jenkins says. “It is an affordable alternative to the risks that some drivers take, such as stripping off the cat converter or other illegal stuff that violates emissions standards – in order to get more power.” Using advanced tuners, like Bully Dog’s Triple Dog GT, offers advanced programming and monitoring, including the ability to easily change settings on-the-fly. It is four products in one: a vehicle engine tuner, function monitor, performance gauge and diagnostic device. If running in high power mode, and engine coolant or oil temps rise above the preset warning level, the GT tuner will automatically begin to lower the power. The tuner will also alert on the panel display what is happening and why (engine overheating, horsepower lowering, etc.)
The Bully Dog GT tuner is easy to install and fits cleanly in the cab by attaching to the OBDII port. Other models locate the control panel under the hood in the engine compartment. This exposes it to heat, cold, humidity and vibration which cause malfunctions. Cab-mounted control panels are protected and easily accessed for on-the-fly changes. Also, download the latest software online, ensuring that files are the most up-to-date before installation. The tuner is connected to the vehicle using provided mounting accessories (OBDII Connector and HDMI cable). The vehicle-specific software (e.g., Dodge/Cummins, GM, Nissan or Ford) is installed by following easy steps on the tuner monitor. After calibrating the system, simply dial in the operating and setup parameters to your needs. For reliable, optimized performance, more powerful tuners will monitor turbo boost, engine RPM, transmission temperature, air flow, fuel rail pressure and more.
