I'm new to the forum. I purchased a Quadzilla, pulse programmer for my 07 dodge 2500. The installation instructions should have raised a red flag because they were for an o5, 5.9 diesel not the 6.7l. I still wasn't going to give up that easy but they became much more complicated than the original advertisement of 20 minutes to install. I gave up after 5 hours trying to unplug and plug in different sensors and tapping and installing an egt sensor. So I took the truck to a mechanic to install. He was baffled when he installed the programmer and it instantly blew a fuse to the display. He called the tech. support and discovered it had been assembled wrong. The positive and negative had been swapped causing a direct short and a part of the harness was missing. They overnighted the missing part and the mechanic changed the wiring getting the unit to come on. To enter the engine parameters for the warnings, I had to go back to tech support not being a diesel mechanic or engineer myself. I finally set all these and went out to try this new piece of equipment.
The first time I tried to use it I got 2 engine codes on the programmer, engine light, and a warning to contact the dealership now, service required. I've spent as much money getting it installed, repairing their mistakes with the wiring, and getting it removed by the dealership mechanic in order to clear the problem codes as I did on the programmer itself.
I just wanted to get a few more mpg's and more power pulling my fifth wheel trailer. A friend had led me to this product and now I'm not sure if these programmers are worth all this. Which programmers work with Chrysler computers operating as they're advertised and owners are happy with their results?
