Bully Dog for Motorhome??

A friend just put a deposit on a 2013 Fleetwood Excursion, with a Cummins 300 hp. The dealer suggested Bully Dog for more power. I cannot find any info on use of BullyDog for a MH, just see use with trucks pulling fifth wheels and TTs.

Any input? Is the dealer just looking for a mark-up in his commission?

Thanks in advance.

    I have no idea what BullyDog is. Never hear of it.

    I suspect this dealer "sells" BullyDog.

    I would certainly NOT buy it from the dealer.

    1. Not sure you will need it.

    2. If you do "need" it, you don't need to give him the markup.

    If a dealer told me that I'd find another dealer. A smart one would sell you a Expedition.

    If you put on any kind of tuner you're going to void your warranty. That's an expensive cost for a few more HP. If you play, you pay.

    The Manufactures put in software where tuners will leave a fingerprint.

    We have used them on farm tractors and they really boosted the power. we didn't have any problems with them. I have no experience with them on a motorhome but I am surprised the dealer recommended it as it can void the engine warranty!

    There are other options! Have Cummins put a motor chip in, Gale Banks and lastly buy a coach with a larger engine.
