:)Cool

Any links/postys on how to change injectors and whats involved ? Hard ?I heard these cummins have like 20000+ lbs pressure and can be dangerous ? Or is that only whilst running ?

I don't remember this part either. If the screen is on and clipped in ok - I think it will be fine. Do you have any existing fuel pressure sensor for the stock pump ? even low pressure warning light ?I would get rid of that system though and go with the airdog/fass and drawstraw approach - now way I am doing another $1000 on a vp44 Plus makes me feel safe when I am modifying with chips/exhaust/intakes etc to get extra HP

Tried the quadzilla and the hypertech.Michael and others kept telling me to get the edge and tap the vp44 (I posted multiple similar posts). I decided to send both back as the quadzilla gave me no end of trouble with software updates etc (I work in IT so it was their end) - but they did have good technical support. Hypertech was ok - a little for HP at high end - but not much at low end and no MPG (or little). So I went for a drive with a local guy here in STL who showed me the edche power levels 1-5 - AMAZING. So now I bought one for $400. I'd suggest whta Michael said - may be go for a ride with someone that has an edge, and then look for one second hand. Can get the COMP boxes for around $300 and the juice with monitor for $400 - plus JKIDD (and others) do great deals on new ones. I can't speak from personal experience yet on the edge - but on having tried the other stuff and seen this other guys truck - well excited !!

BHAF all the way - I like the spool up I get on the turboAnd its only like $100 with outerwears (or less) as opposed to $200-$300 for similar filtersI have mine bungied in as well (stitting on thick cardboard at the moment) I also cut out a little of the heat shield fabric on the corner of the hood to ensure it doesn't block the BHAF - pretty sure it works and helps more air get to filter Just a small section directly over filter where not too much heat exists ;)

Thats 4" SS for doge - pretty easy to install - hardest part was getting old one off (ended up cutting parts) - sounds great and pretty low drone and nice 'groan' when you kick it

Hi MIchael Thx for response. I got my NPT tap and drill today. Just finished installing my 4"" SS Bully Dog exhaust tonight. So this week sometime edge (weather). Since I have transmission temp and fuel pressure - do I need to hook these up to edge then ? I like the manual guages - and would then just use edge to control power levels and monitor EGT's and boost etc. Will this cause any problems ? thx m8

Hey qq on install for edge juice I have existing guages for fuel pressure and transmission temperature. Can I just 'piggy back' the edge harness for each component to the existing sensors ? So that the fuel pressure sensor will send signal back to isspro gauge AS WELL as the edge monitor ... same for the transmission temperature port ? Also - can I run the edge just tapped into the VP44 and appropriate bosst fuse and grounds - i.e not installed EGT probe etc - will it work or try and defuel as safety features etc ?? thx:shrug: ---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ---------- Should have said - reason I ask is I don't have a tapping thread - and need to get one - so want to know if I can install and run truck without for a week etc ............. as well as the q's above on the guages/edge monitor using same fuel/transmission sensors ---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ---------- Any1 ?

thx bro !

Man - thats friggin awesome - many thanks "Wild and Free" - had been on goerend a number of times - but looking at prices etc - So qq - I get the TC lockup - but when does it happen in your truck and how do you tell ??

Hey Can someone give me a basic overview of how a TC works and what 'TC lockup' means ? any links or basic 101 info ? I need a 'Diesel Guides for Dummies' thx

hahahahahaha ................... You need to meet my wife .......................... good luck ...... plus I like getting some in the morning - this diesel stuff is pretty friggin cool - but not 'THAT' cool

ok - ok Getting the picture now ........ haha Maybe I should change the title of the thread to 'How to have wife approve spending 5k on my truck and still get to sleep in the same bed ' I have never had a truck - in fact - I was always one of those guys with a v6 gas sedan that had his oil changed at 'quicklube' etc ..... my wife calls it 'puss-i-fication' ............... not sure if thats ok to post here - but now I have 'Cummins' ....... So - off to change my oil, fix my map lights, install my edge, change my exhaust - and then work on that tranny lmao

okHere's what I mean with the parts for the MAP lights in console inside cab So Basically I have the plastic 'nipple' that gets pressed when you hit the glass panel, the spring - and the other piece. It all went flying out on the one working side - and now when I put back together it has no 'spring' to it - just 'flat'. Am I missing a piece or do I need to put together in a certain way ? thanks

ok - yeah I almost always just end up doing what Michael says - I just have it ask it 3 different ways. Well I ended up getting 1 second hand [edge juice] - and going to modify my exhaust as well.Going to start out slowly on levels 1-3 ...... obviously I don't think the tranny will hold 4-5 very often .... if at all so have made a few calls on a complete transmission rebuild. Found some for around $2700 - $3000k ........ do I really need to go 'billet' shaft if I am only doing around 350-400 hp ? (Basically stock + edge + bhaf + 4" exhaust) Appreciate the patience and advice Go Kansas !

I'll send you a pic of the MAP lights and spring I mean. basically - in overhead console there are 2 lights. Behind the light is a spring device made up of 1) Spring2) 3 or 4 bits of plastic for on/off mechanism for light I wanna know how it alls sits together as I have them all over the place now - and I have 'no spring' - so wanna fix it I think I am putting the pieces in the wrong order thx

OKHey - sorry - I have posted 'similar' post before but keep going round in circles as I have no idea what I am talking about. Narrowed down to Edge Juice with Attitude -as it taps the Vp44 Pros - seems very responsive and powerfulCons - might blow my stocktransmission TS MVPProds - plug and play and up to 100HP [supposedly]Cons - if at 100HP could still do tranny damage - can I really get 100HP without tapping the VP44 Smarty Pros - good timing advance and good reviews - increase MPG ?Cons - will I feel it ? Will it give me extra MPG ? Doesn't Tap the VP44 thoughts/ratings ??then I need to BUY this thing !!! Any1 got any to sell second hand ?? thanks

3 dumb quick questions 1) Can someone paint me a picture or upload one) of how the spring/plastic button in the overhead MAP lights go together. I had it fixed (1 side) then took it apart for reference to fix other side and it all flew over the truck - and now neither work so I have no point of reference. Just the spring activated button with the plastic toggles. How many pieces and how they connect to create the 'spring'. 2) I had a faulty vp44 and tracked back to dodgy (like the pun ?) fuel output/return lines on top of fuel canister in tank. Whilst taking the grey clip off the harness/canister to check I broke it - and now it says FULL all the time when reconnected. I bought a second once from an 02 dodge with 6" wiring - can I just cut the old one off and splice the wires together and use new clip for good connection ? 3) How do you tell when tranny is going as opposed to TC ........... and when to replace ?? I have stock with 4x4 auto and I want to get edge juice attitude etc and not sure how long tranny will last THANKS GUYS !!!

HeyYeah they look pretty ok - I think I can get a slightly better price on a MBRP tho .........................was really wanting to straight pipe it as people including moparman have done and but then seemed like I 'might' have to change back to muffler exhaust for inspections every 1-2 yrs - and I will be living in RV so hard to tow around 2nd exhaust so then was wondering if I can still straight pipe it - but add the most basic muffler via clamps somewhere - that I could easily add for inspections and remove for the rest of the year. just seems a hassle so thinking just a 4" MBRP or silverline as they seem the cheapest

Hey - yeah - I have talked to a bunch of people on here and around where I live and thinking I might be creating too many headaches for myself due to the MO laws (require muffler) and we will be travelling through a bunch os states over next cpl years. Anyone seen this ? http://www.parleysdieselperformance.com/site/988369/product/AEROMUFFLER not sure if I can post here - but was wondering if I can just straight pipe the exhaust but include a muffler like this - seems since its straight through it should work fairly well ?? I guess though then there might not be much difference in cost and everything to just buying a MBRP with straight through muffler. still scratching ?? ...........

sweet any idea on approx cost "Valve Body and TQ Conv " and whats involved ? parts/labor ? can do basic stuff to my truck - but never played around with anything real mechanical on it or any other carhard to do ?

Hey guys thanks - great info .......... haven't tried towing at 55mph - normally closer to 60-65 - so might look into that and see if any difference. crazy detail micheal - I do remember seeing that before - but quite useful right now I am focused more on MPG - where the heck do you get the time anyway - going to get a few more calcs with the BHAF/hypertech , and then probably consider new exhaustpossible switch to edge with vp44 taplater switch out for some lower weight tires might also consider injectors but 2 questions 1) I have auto stock transmission with 118k on clock and towing - could this be a bad move (too much torque/hp)2) Can I just do the 1st stage of injectors all all of them ?

hey gasser :P What weight you hitting 14 MPG towing ? any idea ? thx

Hi MichaelYeah - you mentioned that before - thx for the info - but was curious as what other people had experience with as that is a lot better than what I get towing. So was wondering what could cause my drop in mpg towing specifically - and if its normal - based on your figures it seems mine is a little low.So then I was wondering if I should drop my Hypertech and get a Edge like you ? Assuming yours is the 'Edge Products Comp Module' not the 'Edge EZ'. still working out if the hypertech is helping me - it feels better but last time I filled up the lie-o-meter said 20 (improved from 17) but the hand calc was 15.9. [Not towing]
