Bully Dog is great for diesels, not so good for gassers compared to Diablosport or Superchips.

IMO, Bully is tough to beat for the diesel trucks, only programmers in the same league might be the Banks, but in the gasser world they are still behind the curve. It's basically Superchips or Diablo, depending on year and then mods.

Before you put your hard earned money down, only two people have given you opinions on tuners. You could check out the poll in the FAQ section to see how many 3rd Gen Ram owners run what tuner and why....

Do a tune up and change all of the fluids in your truck. I bought mine with 61k on the clock. I was getting around 13-14mixed 80/20 hwy/city. My MID would show around 15ish driving on the freeway at about 60mph. I put a homemade CAI on it with a KN cone filter, Diablo sport tuner 91 oct perf tune and changed the oil to royal purple sythetic 5w-20, and changed the plugs (took about 3.5 hours and a few swear word) and row i'm around 16mixed driving and my MID says 18 even though its not 100%.
