first tow with 110hp bully-dog

[fredw]

i finnally did my first tow with the 110 bully,it was a 26 foot, 4 sled inclosed trailer,with gear weighing about 7000lbs for a total weight of 15000lbs, we went on a five day sled trip covering about 2000km, i set the cruise at 117km their and 120 back, my average milage was 16.2 mpg(imperal) at the end of the trip, the truck never once kicked out of overdrive at these speeds, in any of the hills we encountered, two 8percent grades and all other hills, two powerstrokes boys and another duramax owner with me, they were totally amazed, i do not sell or promote bully-dog, but those are just great numbers to see, what a pleasure to drive :D :D :D :D

any egt numbers ?

You towed in the 110hp setting? Transmission slip? Do you have any Allison mods to prevent slipping?

[fredw]

sdaver: i do not have no egt gauges, it never felt that the truck was in a full power situation, i should invest in some and maybe a 4 inch exhaust, might even do better

rwhp: i was told when i bought the bully that it will reduce the hp if slipage occours in the trans. so their will be no damage, i never felt anything or no sensors came on, i have no mods done to the transmission
:D :D

The Bullydog 110 is a Van Aaken and it does back the power down if slippage is detected.

in the last week i upgraded to the 4" dina-max exhaust system, i really see no difference other than more noise, hope their will be a advantage because it was 1000cdn$ lesson

If you woulden't mind keeping me posted on this 4" system, if it does lower EGT's signifigantly, I may go down there and have them put one on. I pull fairly heavy in the summer. I think I saw you and your buddies camping out @ Elkwater last summer.
