Bully Dog recommends installing a pyrometer gauge to monitor exhaust gas temperature when using any

product to increase horsepower.

*Due to John Deere’s new software updates, the ‘High’ power level should not be used for the 08’ John
Deere 8030 series tractors or any 8030 tractor that has been re-ashed by a John Deere dealer. Use of the
‘High’ power setting with these tractors will result in warning lights and codes. If warning codes appear
while operating, shut the tractor down, adjust the module to the ‘Low’ power level, and
continue operation. If problems persists contact Bully Dog Tech Support at 1-866-285-5936.
