[05strokerLaw]

Hi my names Max and i recently purchased a 05 6.0 with leveling kit, trail grapplers, straight pipe exhaust, and a bully dog triple dog programmer. This is where i need help. Im only 16 and this is my second truck and im new to diesel (first truck being 08 Ram Hemi). I like the idea of a programmer and great mileage but i dont want to blow a gasket and or my transmission. i would like to confidently be able to mash the pedal when the loser in the ricer pulls up next to me. i have heard bully dogs are terrible and ive heard their great. what do i need to do to make my truck fast, but also SAFE. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

you could try a SCT Livewire programmer

Custom tuned SCT is the only way to go. Tell the company writing your programs what mods you do / don't have and your goals and they'll email you files to match.

Get an EGR delete, SCT w/TSD tunes, and a scangauge II to monitor oil and coolant temps. Also delete the CAT if it isnt already.
