The BD was for 2007.5 to 2010 Ram CTD and techs said they did not yet have tune available for 2010 non cab and chassis (pickup). Have had it stuck to the windshield and worthless since March 2015!!!!!!!!!!
We had one in our old 2012 2500 Mega Cab with the 5.7L Hemi.
We loved it. When we bought truck for normal mileage we were 8-9 in city and 11-12 highway.
With trailer(40' fifth wheel 11K) we were getting the 8-9 on the highway.
So I installed it and by the time we traded the truck it was 12 city and 18 on highway.
With the trailer 11-12 and it had plenty of power to spare.
I also changed out the stock muffler. I cut it off right at the muffler inlet and outlet leaving all stock pipe then welded in a Flowmaster towing muffler.
After that I added a cold air intake and the truck ran amazing. Never hot. Temps never climbed and since you can monitor everything it was nice to see the temps of intake and others.
We always left the unit in the vehicle so we could watch and tell.
Wife wanted a bigger trailer so I needed a bigger truck so we bought the diesel and thinking about doing it to this one as well.
