Which tuner Spartan or Edge?
Hey Oldtimer, You put a Bullydog on the '08? I am being told by two dealers (i know!) and an independent mechanic (friend) who all say Ford WILL be able to tell if it was ever installed, even after an uninstall. Your comments indicate that you used BD because it was safe concerning your...- painthousetexas

What is "Power Service" and where do I purchase it? I presume it is a fuel additive of some kind?- painthousetexas

You say you "can" retrieve these tags, but do, or would, you, under normal circumstances? Are you required to 'test' for tags that indicate a programmer had been installed? Are these 'tags' automatically located by your laptop or whatever when software is updated? Are you telling me not to...- painthousetexas

Here's my deal ( I really am not as dumb as I look): I understand they WILL void it WHEN they find out. My concern is whether programmers (like B-Dog or Hypertech), after a normal deprogramming, leave a trace that will cause a 'red flag' to go up at a dealership? Focus1: as a Ford tech, do...- painthousetexas

Sorry, hit send too soon, anyway: -The programmer company tech departments all say:" Ford will never be able to tell". I have had two dealers as well as one independent master mechanic tell me not to use anything, even an air filter, to modify the truck, or Ford WILL void the warranty on a...- painthousetexas

Thanks for the greeting. You are pretty close. So here are my issues: -what is the difference between a 'tune' and a programmer, such as Bullydog? -If I run either a tune, or a programmer; after uninstalling, can the dealer tell?- painthousetexas

Well, Mrpowerstrokeman, that is not what I wanted to hear. I drove the thing today with my car trailer (24' Featherlite, about 9000# full), loaded, and the economy sucked. 8.9 mpg at 65 mph. My Cummins was able to get at least 12. I know, not apples to apples, the Dodge was pre-emissions 2006...- painthousetexas

Hi All, I am new here, but not to diesel trucks. I recently sold my Dodge Mega Cab Cummins for a 2008 SD F250 CC. I love the Ford, have had others prior, but sure do miss the economy of the Dodge. I want to put my Bullydog on it (power pup triple dog downloader). I have the newest 2.5...- painthousetexas

Howdy from Texas
I am not new to diesels by any means. This is just my first 6.4L. I am 'ascared' of the mileage horrors I hear. I just traded of a 2006 Dodge Cummins that regularly achieved 22-23 mpg. I know I will not get that out of this vehicle, so I am not as ignorant as I look. Prior to that I had an '01...- painthousetexas
