The other 3/4's of the screen is used to display details from 1 of the 4 parameters you've chosen to monitor, and you can pick which one you want details on at any time. Right off the bat the monitoring features are pretty cool, you have a column on the left that takes up roughly 1 quarter of the screen, and the column contains 4 rows you can use to monitor any 4 different engine parameters. I got the bully dog all updated and loaded up with the right software for my truck and went out to uninstall the Hypertech and install the bully dog. The Bully Dog arrived and I was actually very surprised by the size of it, I expected it to be closer to the size of a small GPS unit, not a big deal, I was also surprised by the complexity of initial setup for the bully dog, but again not a big deal. The only thing I was worried about was losing the WOT restriction removal option, but I'll go into that more in a minute. But anyway the other day I was sitting in traffic and the idle vibration got real annoying so I took to Amazon and picked up a Bully Dog GT Platinum 40417. I've actually been running a Hypertech max energy for over a year now, and I've been happy with the performance, but when I bought it I was unaware that it was missing two key features the Bully Dog tuner has, the first being Idle Adjustment to fix the low idle vibration, and the timing adjustment, I also found out later on that BD is one of the few (only?) ways to monitor trans temp w/o a real gauge setup. Hey guys, over the past couple weeks I decided to experiment a little with a bully dog tuner and I wanted to share my thoughts. ![]()
