Bully Dog electronics

[Willdubb]

I've been looking around for a chip or programmer and have decided on the Bully Dog, but I'm not sure if I should get the chip with the six position switch or the programmer. This may sound really dumb, but can you use them both at the same time? Also, I want to get the Outlook Monitor to go with whichever one I buy. Has anybody used these products and what is your opinion. Thanks.

You proably can but I wouldn't. As for the OutLook Monitor I really like it. For the price that you pay you have so many guages in one that if you seperated all of them out that it would cost alot more than what you paid for the Outlook Monitor. You have a 7.3L so I suggest a chip with a good shift kit or trans. Programmers are good but it is so much nicer to change power levels on the fly.

You can only run one or the other, you will find that chips can give you a much more specific program for your model truck. Chips can also add line pressure to firm up the shifting and change the shift points, most (not all!) programers do not do this on a PSD.

Being able to change on the fly is priceless!!! Run around town on a economy setting, some punk bothering you, seeya latter looser!!! Just that quick!

I would suggest one of the better tunners such as Jody (DP Tunner) or Tadd at ATS. David at DI is also very good.

i got the programer (power pup)... and im getting rid of it as soo as i can get $$$ of a 6 position chip probabaly from one of the guys always suggested on this sit (tony i think)... outlook monitor is nice when i have truck set on 120 hp with the outlook monitor i can adjust to use 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of that power. for the 7.3 the outlook only does defueling with 2nd probe can have pre and post turbo egts, boost and highest boost... dont really care to much for it.... accel make the same monitor exact same different name i think its cheaper... good luck....
