How much did you pay for yours maker??

Wait, so they are the knuckleheads for doing their jobs and actually checking if you breached your end of the warranty contract?

It's a business and warranty work (just like your health insurance) doesn't pay the shop the same rate they would charge someone without a warranty. If you want to mod, do it to your heart's content so long as you accept the associated risks. Personally, I'm waiting until my extended warranty is up, then I'm going to buy my mods so I don't end up in the situation you are afraid of.

I got mine for $129 brand new off ebay from a truck shop that sells on e-bay too. I just checked his online store and he's out of them.

Sorry bluscrew didn't know there was warranty police out there. Guess you work for a dealer?

two of my friends have the bullydog triple dog or whatever its called. one on a 08 f150 and one on a 01 silverado. yea, it made a slight difference but its not impressive. ANd for the price they paid for them, they paid as much as I did for my custom tunes that made much more of a difference. Pretty much any canned tune will just make slight differences.

There sure are, and they are called "Claims Adjusters"!

See, your warranty is an insurance policy weather you want to think of it as such or not. Your local shop does the work, then bills whomever your warranty is through (probably Ford MoCo in this case, or some other third party). The insurance company then has the choice to rubber stamp a payment at a previously agreed upon price, or sending a claims adjuster if they suspect foul play of any sort.

Now insurance companies are in business to make money and look after their share holders. ANY reason to deny the claim is reason enough. In this case the truck was tampered with in a way that was not part of the accepted risk in the original insurance agreement. Thus, if there is any link between a failed part and your unauthorized modification. No payment, contract breached. Now the shop has to eat the cost or go through the hassel of trying to bill you back. Which would no doubt lead to yet another whiny-*** poster crying about being "screwed" at the "stealership".

Sadly, I don't work for a dealer. I'm a mainframe programmer.

Can we stick to discussion about the Bullydog programmers, if yall want to fight it out the pm each other... He was simply stating why he chose what he did.

There is no fight JLindsay32. The conversation contains information that both the OP and everyone else needs to consider before altering the programming of a vehicle which is under warranty.

By all means, report the posts if you feel they derail the thread too much.

It's been a while since anyone has posted anything about the bullydog on a 150. I read everything on here before buying one and wanted to let anyone who is or was thinking of using it that it does work. I called bullydog support ahead of time to feel them out and tell them my concerns especially about how word of their support was bad. They helped me all the way through. I had no hang ups at all. Also the gas mileage is insane and the hp is nice. I just keep in mind that the drive train isn't made for much more than stock so I just use it when I need it. Truck even sounds better. I have a 06 super crew 5.4 lariat. I see 22 mpg on flat roads. Best before was 17 mpg. I hope this helps someone and thank you all for the info you share. It is invaluable. Also it's cheaper on Amazon and the hp was very noticeable for my 125k mile engine. I guess the results could vary. Bullydog website $500/ Amazon $325.
