We had a bulldog programmer in our 2012 Dosge Mega Cab 2500.
We had the truck over a year before putting it in and then it was in for two years as we recently sold the truck.
We loved it. Let us change the shift points, gave us better gas mileage and you could notice a set in Hp as well.
And when the trailer wasn't on the back it did even better with gas mileage and just cruising on the highway.
Also just added one to my wife's Avalache and already noticing a difference. Since we don't have a toy hauler we use her truck to pull the ATVs but other than that it is just a daily driver.
Was well worth the money and we are thinking about adding it to our new Cummins as well.
There are some decent dpf in tact, emissions systems compatible tunes for the new diesels. You'll get that 50-90hp and extra torque only at the expense of def consumption. But the big benefit for the new Rams is trans tuning to get rid of the crappy economy minded shift points that lug the 68rfe and to get rid of torque management. That comes at the expense of a transmission if you don't know how to use it properly and sometimes even if you do.
I like Rams power train, but IMO, they are posting the big numbers and then not unleashing them off the line to protec the trans.
