seen reports on both........personally the predator would get my nod, but we've sold the bullys too, and have had good response from them as well. Your choice

I used to own a performance store and specialized in diesel performance my way of going would be the predator I have had many bullydogs come back to me when i had the store now my titan bullydog chip is really acting up. I ran the duramax with a predator then a ppe programmer and ya go predator over bullydog

I've got the Predator on my 05 Duramax.

Back when I was comparing them, the Predator was more reliable and fit my needs better than the Bully.
I'm happy with it - easy to use. Price was fair.

This past summer, I tried it on the Performance tune (85 RWHP) - yikes - that made a HUGE difference. I didn't even want to try the Extreme tune (120 RWHP) Pretty wild. You'll like it.

My bias vote is for Predator.

Good luck.

Neither, go with a Spartan or SCT, get a DPF delete and a cold air intake and you'll be good to go. There's many diesel forums online do a quick search.

3 for the predator, 0 bullydog, 1 other.......might have to start a pole on this.......... I personally like edge and run and edge juice with attitude and also run the diablosport power puck(stacked chips);)

The absolute best option Ford the 6.4l ford is the Spartan... we have tried almost every tuner out there in out shop 6.4 and nothing comes close to comparing. I would not even reccomend using a tuner on the truck unless you take off the cat/dpf system as any tuner is going to have much more soot output which will plug up your DPF even faster and will make the truck go into regen more often (watch that gas gauge race to the E) as well as kill the life of your DPF which is roughly a $3750.00 item from the dealer.

The spartan hands down, dont waste your time with a bullydog or diablosport. Yes it costs more seeing as you need to lose that pesky DPF but trust me its worth it.

Spartan all the way, nothing else even comes close. Had a friend with an edge, went for a ride in mine with the 275hp tune, needless to say 1 edge programmer for sale that day.

go spartan hands down i ran a sperchips for a little while but the spartan is killer. you will love it and its safer for your truck it isnt generic programming its all custom to your truck, way more time spent and way more testing. and you will acually gain quite a bit in mileage.

Well personally I would recommend the diablosport.. I have also used it for long and really works so well.. But also heard of the Bully.. but your choice. ;)
