Tuner question

[JonTiffany1]

I have been looking on various websites (CarID.com, SummitRacing.com, etc) for good tuners for my '00 Yukon. I have been leaning toward the Bully Dog brand tuners so I looked at them. Summit has two that are compatible with my truck, that has the features I'm interested in having. However, apart from the price, I cannot find anything different between the two. I thought that maybe the screen was bigger on one than the other, then I realized that the SMALLER one was more expensive! I messaged Bully Dog customer support and they have yet to get back to me. Does anyone have any information/experience with either of these tuners? They are the 50-state GT gas and GT platinum gas tuners. (I also saw the WatchDog but that is a monitor, not a tuner).

Also my father-in-law has an Edge brand tuner that he seems pretty please with, but the price is almost twice as much, and doesnt seem to offer as much as the Bully Dog, plus I've never heard of Edge lol.

Thanks,
Jon

Any particular reason why you want a "tuner" vs a custom laptop tune? One of our sponsors is Blackbear performance. They did my truck and I am extremely satisfied with how it drives now. Doesn't feel like a 6000lb slug anymore lol

Yea the handheld tuners arent very good unless you only want to change tire size or easy things like that. Your money would be much better spent using a real tuner like blackbear.

The bullydog tune I had at one time, was about 2 seconds from blowing up my engine.
It sucked!

black bear performance is definitely going to get recommended a lot.

The only other tune that seems to make any sense is the diablosport. Which can be custom tuned by DiabLew.

I looked into DiabloSport too. I was pleased with their products. I will definitely look into Blackbear though! Thank you!!

If you aren't pulling logs or looking at your actual vehicle and then making changes don't bother.

pulling logs ? with a tahoe arent logging skidders for that purpose
