If you have the 600 then I would recommend the Juice/Attitude. I've had mine on for over a year now with no problems and the power is smooth, it hauls the mail.

If you have the HO 305 then I can't really comment as my last truck was a 2000 Dually with DD stage 1 injectors only.

Had the Edge Ez for a year and now currently running the Bully Dog Power Pup and I like the Power Pup way better than the Edge Ez

Absolutely no comparision between the two as far as power is concerned....the BD blows away the Edge Ez module

Currently I'm stacking the Juice and the EZ. I have found that my mileage is best with the EZ on level 1 and the Juice on level 2. I'm pretty sure it's from the timing the Juice provides but my mileage did increase a little with the EZ and it also helps the bottom end as the Juice is more for mid range. Generally you shouldn't expect any mileage increase but most do see a little. It's just a bonus.

I personally like the Bully dog Power Pup or even the new triple dog. You have to remember though. That after you do get this new performance your skinny pedal is going to be pushed a lot more until you get used to having the power there. Usually about a month or two you will think you are getting worse gas mileage cause you are playing with your new toy all the time. After that subsides, you will notice the increase in MPG. I get pretty good mileage in my truck, I have to go get the Rev per Mile changed in the comp, so that my odometer is on now so that I can calculate what I am actually getting. But I would say bang for your buck with increased mileage you are going to be real happy wiht Bully Dog.

I bought the new Tripple dog from Bully Dog, i have to say I love the features but I'm not impressed with the overall functionality of the tuner. I wanted a tuner, no **** on my dash thanks. I also change trucks alot so the new Triple Dog is great, works in Dodge Ford or GM, updatable online for free and you can change performance programs on the fly in seconds. All the features are awesome, perfect for me... but the change on the fly doesn't always work. I get drastically better mileage out of it, more power too, but i never know which program I'm running because it doesn't always take and there is no way of telling if it programmed except to see how fast it goes or how quick the EGT's climb.

I have the juice/attitude on my 03 six speed. If you drive normal on the economy mode (level1) you will see an increase in mpg. I've seen about 2 mpg. It's best used on a highway run. In town I always end up turning the box up. Too fun not too.

wtf700,

We sell lots of both, it really depends on the user as the prices are basically the same (if you get the Outlook Monitor on the Bully Dog anyway). You need the gauges on either one anyway. Take a look at the features of both and see if anything particular stands out as something you especially need to have. If there isn't anything you specify as a feature that is important to you get the one you can find that is cheaper, call us we have a price guarantee to help you with that as well. You won't be dissappointed with either one. We also have the A pillar and overhead mounts for the Attitude/Outlook monitors.

Fence builders not yet but it was in my truck waiting to be reinstalled at the last Imlers dyno days. If I was able to dyno that day I was going to install it in the parking lot!

According to those who have posted here with an 05, aftermarket exhaust and intake It should be around 400rwhp. This remains to bee seen via personal experience(I have never run the 140hp setting for fear of melting something). I can however tell you that the 100 hp setting is certainly a kick in the pants as compared to stock!!

I'm currently installing guages to let me know what the real deal is and after that I just may make a trip to Imlers to check things out.

Don't really want to steal the thread but have a question sorta along the same topic. I have the edge juice but I am looking at the bully dog with crazy larry. I was wondering if I could run the bully dog with my gauges on the attitude monitor I know the two are not stackable But I want the bullydog without have to put all new gauges in my truck. Can I run the bullydog and just turn the edge down to stock setting while I run the bullydog?

I dont have a common rail but a guy I know has a 04 I believe and he has a crazy larry downloader from bully dog and a 90 hp fuel box. His truck is stupid fast. The last I knew it was running 12.7's in the 1/4 mile and he drives it everyday. He says he gets better mileage and the download with the outlook can be adjusted. I cant say anything for the Edge

You can use the BD Triple Dog downloader with the Juice/Attitude installed. You can even run some stacks, depending on other mods. I ran the HOT Juice as high as level 3 with the Crazy Larry program, but I do have supporting mods. Just turn the Juice to 0 and load what ever program you want.
