The Custom A-Pillar Mount Assembly includes: • Front Mounting Plate • Back Mounting Plate • (4) Mounting Screws UsB to sD Card adapter This Card Reader is used to update the PMT’ s SD memory card . It is used primarily for internet updates.
The installation overview illustrates a totally installed and functional PMT system. This overview is meant to help reference the general location of installed parts and pieces of the PMT. Notice that there are three different overview diagrams. Each diagram is vehicle specific; one for Dodge, Ford and GM. The rest of the Installation Overview installation instructions will instruct how to install the PMT in detail.

In this section you will decide where to mount the PMT Cradle, so you are essentially choosing the location for the PMT inside the vehicle cab. First, decide which mounting style you will choose for the PMT; we offer three different styles of mounting: 1.
The Custom A-Pillar mounting style does require that a Custom A-Pillar Pod be purchased from Bully Dog; see part numbers and vehicle applications for a Custom A-Pil- lar Pod in the appendix. The Custom A-Pillar mounting assembly comes in separate pieces and first needs to be assembled before it is installed.

Page 17
TO MOUNT THe DasH asseMBLy: 1. Use the PMT to gauge where on the dash of the vehicle you want the PMT to sit. See the dash mounting diagram for a quick example of the two recommended dash mounting locations.
Page 18
TO MOUNT THe DasH asseMBLy: (CONTINUeD) 2. Once a mounting location is chosen, determine the position of the PMT and direction the PMT will face by moving the ball and socket joints of the dash mount assembly. Once you find the right position tighten down the two Flat-Head screws to secure that position, the screws must be tightened suf- ficiently to hold the PMT in position.
PMT INSTALLATION WINDsHIeLD MOUNTING Follow the same instructions for the dash mount procedure; apply the same instructions to the windshield of the vehicle rather than the dash.
PMT INSTALLATION seCTION 2: INsTaLLING THe pyROMeTeR aND THe pyROMeTeR CONNeCTION HeaD (pCH) The PCH Assembly Diagram provides a quick visual description of all parts and pieces needed to acquire pyrometer temperatures. The parts described in the diagram below will be referred to in this section of the installation instructions.
Page 21
It is recommended that you mount both a pre-turbo and a post-turbo Pyrometer Probe if a vehicle is running more than 50 horsepower over stock. On screen, the PMT can display Pyro 1 and Pyro 2 which correspond to the Pyro 1 and 2 locations on the PCH board. It is very important to note if Pyro 1 is displaying pre or post-turbo exhaust gas temperatures, and the same for Pyro 2.

The Vehicles Menu is only used for two reasons: 1. The PMT is being transferred to a new vehicle, in which case it is very important that you make sure that the last vehicle was completely returned to stock before the transfer. The PMT will not work on the new vehicle unless the last vehicle was returned to stock.
2. Change Download Settings: If the vehicle already has a download on it from the PMT that is currently installed on that vehicle. You can perform another download to change the vehicle specific options contained in a download.
