Product Description
WHY USE A TUNER?
Whether you are looking for that extra bit of power for your tow rig, or simply trying to get better mileage, a tuner/programmer should be next on your list. A tuner communicates directly with your car/trucks computer via the OBD2 diagnostic port and allows you to take control of your ride. The many adjustable features such as speedometer correction, transmission shift point adjustment, diagnostics, speed limiter removal/set, and gauge monitoring, makes for the most robust tool at your disposal. The simplicity of installation takes away any doubt that you might have as to whether or not a programmer is right for you.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I bought this for twor reasons. First, was to add more horsepower and tourque to my Titan in order to tow my travel trailer. Not that I had a problem. However, if there is more power to be had, why not. I have yet to tow with the Bully yet. And with the season over, it will be some months until I can test it out while towing.
The second was to assist with fuel economy. The Titans are known as gas guzzlers. Though I like the look of the truck, what I do not like is getting 12mpg around town and 8mpg while towing. I have only had this product a couple of days, and already I see a difference with my fuel economy. I only assume it will get even better in time.
If you tow, or need better fuel economy, get this product. I should add 2 items. I choose 2 day shipping from Amazon. I received the Bully on less than 24 hours. Second, as I am not computer savvy, I called Bully Dog's Tech while trying to update the tuner. The tech was more than happy to help. She was able to take over my computer and update it for my. All the while showing me waht to do. Great product, great customer service.
Updated 11/25/12:
I just wanted to add that I wired the Bully Dog up to a Switched ACC Fuse for a more permanent installment. I used a Mini Fuse Tap, which is availible on Amazon. Make sure you know which fuse tape you need for your fuse panel. There are two different sizes. With the aid of the Mini Fuse Tap, I was able to complete the installation in my 2011 Nissan Titan in under 20 minutes in the parking lot of a Pep Boys! You will also need some zip ties for wire placement. So I guess this update turned into a testimonial for the Mini Fuse Tap.
Update 12/12/2012;
I had to tow my travel trailer (7800 lbs.) upstate NY the other day which gave me a chance to test out the Bully Dog while towing. I could feel the difference from the stock settings.
Towing through the Adirondaks can be challenging at times. This is a route I have traveled while towing hundreds of times. On the very long steep hills, I would need to downshift into a lower gear to make the hill. Not this time. I stayed in one gear and still had enough power to pass a vehicle if need be while using the Bully. I am impressed.
I am running the performance/premium tune now. I could feel the difference between the regular tune. More HP and more tourque with this tune. And I am getting better fuel mileage as well. Without towing I am getting over 16mpg on the highway. Big difference from 12-13mpg. And I am now getting 8.5-9.5mpg while towing from 7.5-8mpg. I also have an Airaid Intake, which also helps in gains and mpg. Needless to say, I am very happy with this product.
If you tow, if you want to save on gas, if you are a modification junkie, I am all of the above, you need to buy this product. You cannot go wrong. It pays for itself. Provided you do not have a heavey foot!
Note: The Bully Dog GT is vehicle specific. Meaning it may have different options for each vehicle. For instance, with my Titan, I cannot re-calibrate for larger tires. Though I can remove the Wide Open Throttle Restriction on my Titan where other vehicles cannot. You should check to make sure the Bully Dog GT can accomplish your reasons for purchasing it. Check the Bully Dog Website for fitment and vehicle characteristics.
As for performance... It's been installed for 2 weeks, set to "Performance" on engine and trans, very noticeable difference in power, throttle response and shift points. I was hoping I would be one of the 6-8MPG people, but it looks like 2-3MPG gains are more likely. Installed, drove for a week and maintained my 15-16MPG even though I was playing more and doing the preference tests (1/4mile runs). Left for vacation, long 1100 mile highway trip thru the mountains, got 18.4MPG there, 14.6MPG driving thru the Smoky Mountain National Park and touring gatlinburg and pigeon forge (AC running full blast), 17.7MPG on the way home (including several delays for construction where we moved half a mile over 40minutes, AC on high). Overall if I can pickup 2MPG, 60miles per tank, that should pay for the unit in 6months and the drive is so much more fun now! Using the unit for extra gauges is nice, I currently watch the MPH, Intake Temp, Trans Temp and Coolant Temps. Overall nice package for a stock vehicle... if you have a lot of upgraded parts like trans, intake, exhaust, gearing that is not factory a custom tune would be much better and tailored for the actual setup. This unit allows for general factory upgraded settings for a stock vehicle.
