hello newbie with Q...

Hi, i just got an '03 4x4 dually quad cab, 6sp manual, the truck has 80k, i had a Ford F250 2wd with the 7.3 and 6sp, my buddy convinced me that the dodge is a much better truck so i decided to try it.
This truck came with what i believe is the bully dog torque dog(comparing the pic with the actual unit under the hood), air-raid intake and tube, the exhaust seems to be aftermarket but not sure plus its pretty rusted so i just ordered the MBRP. it also came with the boost gauge and pyrometer gauge.
i've been reading here but i haven't seen anybody running the particular bully dog chip, i have in the cab a swith where i can set it to 0, 50 or 90 HP, i keep it on the 90 and seems to get better gas mileage, i know the overhead its off for what i read on a post here, mine shows between 21 to 23 mpg which seems pretty good for such a big truck, my 2wd ford was getting about 18.
well that is my new toy! what ya'll think?
thanks and this is a great site.

this is my exhaust, it broke off in the parking lot!

From what you explained it sounds like you dont have the Monitor because of the two gauges but you may be able to get 1 or 2 more settings on the Bully Dog if you add their monitor to it.

^^^^^^^This is true with a few different "chip" companies



Welcome here and enjoy, I agree with your buddy

Many would agree that you could NOT have bought a better truck.




Since the exhaust is gone sounds like its time for a stack or 2.




Can't wait to some more pics
