Make a video and post it on YouTube. Send them a link to it so they can see it too. That'll probably get them to pay for it.

I ran a SuperChips Flashpaq Tuner on my 2005 Dodge Ram 5.7L with no issues. However, I learned after the fact about potential for trouble. When I bought my 12 SCREW, there was no way I was going to mess with its computer. A CAI and a throaty exhaust will. Be enough for me. I would definitely expose them anyway I could. YouTube and other forums might get their attention. Keep us posted, sorry to hear about troubles.

That sucks, but that's what you get when you take a chance on tuners. I have always wanted one for my 2010, my 5.4 is a Dog. The way my luck is, I would be the 1% it happens as well Sometimes you have to pay to play.

You can file with the BBB but they (Bullydog) will not care. if you story is truthful and indisputable, post it on the internet on various forums for all to see. That kind of publicity will hurt worse then complaining to the BBB.

Had a BDGT on my 5.4 and couldn't really tell any difference after it was on other than recalibrating for the bigger tire size. Before I traded that truck in I went to uninstall the tune and the truck went crazy and wouldn't start, luckily I got the truck started and traded it off the next day. I'll never own another BD product.

Mine killed my truck when uninstalling. I guess it was bullydogs way of giving me the finger for not wanting to use their product anymore.

Lol yeah I guess so. Sorry to hear about your bad luck, glad USAA is taking care of you a little tho. I would've posted something about what my tuner did but I thought it was something I was doing wrong.

Hypertech did the same on my car a few years ago, no luck with them either. I was lucky enough to have a buddy at a GM dealership hook me up with a new computer. Never again.
