 Installation Precautions

Installation Precautions: (VERY important)

It is important to take some precautions before downloading, changing settings, or returning to
stock. These precautionary steps to installing the Triple Dog™ will help ensure that downloads
are successful.

1. Before installation, always update the Triple Dog™ online using our Update Agent. The Triple Dog™ is an online
program that loads the latest vehicle programs from our web site to the Triple Dog.
2. Only install during regular business hours. (Monday-Friday 8am-5pm Mountain Standard Time)
3. Do not install while the vehicle is in a remote location or when the vehicle is immediately needed for transpor-
tation. In the unlikely event that installation fails, the installer may need resources such as computer access
and internet access to complete installation.
4. Allow up to one hour for installation. The Triple Dog™ easily installs in under 30 minutes. However, allocate at
least an hour for installation in case any problems are encountered during installation.
5. Before installation, always make sure that the batteries have a full charge. It is even a good idea to have a bat-
tery charger nearby in case the batteries start draining. If the batteries loose their charge during a download,
the download will fail.
6. Before installation, turn off all electronics inside the vehicle including: headlights, heater, air conditioning,
stereo, any DVD players, etc. Failing to turn off all electronics may can prevent a successful download.
7. Before installation always pull all of the recommended fuses seen in the section labeled “Fuse information,”
in this instruction manual.
8. During installation it is very important that the Triple Dog™ is not disrupted. If the download is disrupted the
vehicle may not start and the download process must be restarted. In worst case scenarios the Triple Dog™
will have to perform a recovery process which adds even more time to the installation process.

The information above is extremely important to successful use of the Triple Dog

IMPORTANT
It is not recommended that this product be used in conjunction with any other electronic module or downloader
that is intended to increase horsepower.
Performance products must always be removed before taking the vehicle in for any kind of service. The Bully Dog
software will be lost if an OEM scan tool is used to reflash the engine computer.

stock. This application works well with high performance aftermarket transmissions. We do not recommend that
this application be used while towing.
• Smooth: For the non-aggressive every day driver or those who tow on a regular basis. This application is most
effective when used with our power settings set from 50 to 80.
• Stock: As more horsepower is added to a normal shifting stock transmission, the internal components break down
faster. Not recommended with any of the power settings above 50 additional horsepower.
