I have an 06 powerstroke. Cold air intake bully dog out look bully dog power pup far as I no that's it my egts which on the outlook it shows pryo will hit 1300 an the bully dog is set to defuel the truck what's the best way to lower them. I have searched an searched everywhere an cant find nothin that helps me. Also have a 4in exhaust I'm pretty sure it's from where the cat was back nothin special just 4 in welded on Any help would be awesome thanks guys

 

Why do you want to lower it more? What are you using the truck for? Some better tuning would probably be the first step though. Sell all of the bullydog power adder stuff and go with some custom tunes via an SCT. 1300 isn't much though... I mean is that a 1/4 mile run or you're hauling a trailer up hill or what? Could always add a water/meth setup and just keep the water count high, like 70% water 30% meth, or even more like 80/20. They say rough rule of thumb, to not hold EGT's over 1250* for extended periods of time, but you can certainly go over in short bursts. I know I've had my 1600* gauge maxed a couple of times.

 

No I wasn't pulln nothin. That's just getting on it a lil more then half way. My plan is to sell the bully dog bs cuz when it hits 1300 the truck defuels an u can't do nothin till it gets below that. So it makes it hard to see what the truck really has runn down the highway or just Messn around town with buddy's. I pull a trailer with it sum but my just a dd to an from work

 

That should be user programmable on the tuner itself, I'd imagine you can shut that off no? Or, at least change it to a higher number. I'd get rid of it anyways, forget about the defueling, the transmission is what is going to take the real punishment.

 

I'm pretty sure u can put it on a higher setting but didn't no what was safe. Yea I really wanna get an sct tune. Don't really no where to start tho and don't no what tunes I Gould get cuz has far as I no its stock head studs egr an oil cooler. Really tryn to get enough money built up to to get the egr an cooler done at least. Just bought a house so money is tight

 

I hear that! You should be able to sell that BD stuff on ebay or cragislist to the next unsuspecting victim.

Find a used X-cal 2 on the cheap on the boards, just make sure the vehicle it's coming from was returned to stock flash, and make sure it has "unlocks" left. The guy selling it should know the answers to these. I've seen them in the $150 price range. Then call up Innovative Diesel, or Gearhead and tell them what you're after, and they will most likely ask you some questions and recommend a tune. Tunes range from $25-$80 from what I've seen, and some places do packages. Innovative does a 3 for $165 deal. Your transmission will thank you. Tell them you have stock headbolts and they can recommend something mild for you.

 

Awesome. Thanks for all the help man. Now I'm new to the programmer deal. Do I just unplug the outlook from the ob 2 deal under the dash

 

I'm not sure man, I'm not terribly familiar with those units, but I believe most of them just plug into the OBD port. Not sure if it runs through the firewall or not like some of the Banks units. Just make sure to put it all back to stock first.
