Bully Dog vs. Royal Purple

JR's04Cummins · 07-31-2008, 01:22 PM

Hey guys I am new here. I just purchased an ATS torque converter and valve body for my 04.5 cummins and I want to put all new tranny fluid in it. I was debating on whether to put in royal purple or bully dogs ATF. One of my buddies has a duramax and he said he could notice a power difference in the bully dog over the royal purple but i didnt know if that was true or not. If anyone has heard anything or tried anything let me know what you think. Also how much fluid does the tranny hold I heard it is 14.8 quarts but i want to confirm that is correct. Thanks Everybody!!!!!

Mopars ATF+4 is already synthetic. If he noticed a power increase running BD's fluid, it must be some really good stuff! Sounds like he's blowing smoke. Just make sure the stuff yer going to run is ATF+4 compatible.
