I use fleetguard filters and Rotella T Full Synthetic oil...works good for me and is rated up to around 10k miles with this filter setup I believe.

Merry Christmas!

I agree. Good buy!

Well I live like 10 mins from the Edge Corp. here in Utah. I know a guy with a 97 12V who is best friends with one of the human resource guys there at the shop. He said he was going to try to hook me up. We will see and go from there though.

Hey I talked to a guy at Edge today. He said the BD Power box is essentially the same as the Edge Comp. He said it would cost $120 and they could do the upgrade to the "hot" drag with the BD Power box for the extra fueling.

That is at almost a full turbo spool...but the weight was not that much. We are talking a 6X14 ft trailer with a Ranger 4X4 on it and a Honda 230CRF in my bed. I was climbing 2000 ft elevation though too. If I pulled more weight, the temp would obviously go up more I'm sure. I just haven't seen over 1000 but that one time. And the HX35 will go well over 25psi. Mine would hold 28 before I put the adjustable elbow on. Now it will hold between 32-35 psi. I talked to a guy last week from Pennsylvania that claimed to spike 42+ on his HX...who knows

That's incredible! Awesome job keeping up with it and not getting rid of it! Keep 'em turnin!

Is yours an automatic or manual? I thought the automatics had the hy's and the manuals had the hx35...I am not 100% sure though.

My EGT's are not bad either. at 65-75 mph I usually stay b/t 580-610. I have only had mine over 1000 one time and that was pulling.

I have the HX35 w/ adjustable elbow, BHAF(big honkin air filter), a 5 level BD Power box(same as Edge Comp I believe),stage 3 injectors(300 hp), rebuilt 47re tranny, ATS ex manifold,4 in T/B,Holley Blue secondary fuel pump...not really anything spectacular but it runs good for me. There was a guy at Industrial Injection, on the same day I dynoed mine, that almost hit 500 on stock turbo(not exaggerating). My father-in-law has an 01 that dynoed I believe 435 hp with 1000 lbs torque...and the only big difference in our trucks is he has a full blown Suncoast drag tranny and Edge Comp Drag. I have heard of several guys getting 400 hp on an HX35. You don't really want to spike much over 35 psi on it though, I believe. Where are you at now with your truck? mods? turbo psi? etc???

I was having a similar issue a while back. My FP was around 7-9 psi at idle and would drop 2-3 hauling @$$. I know I may have some guys on here that have had bad luck with them or say they are not made for diesels,which they technically are not,but I will ALWAYS suggest the Holley Blue fuel pump. I bought mine brand new for $71 and changed the fuel filter and have had no problems. I now push 3-4 times as much fp psi. I mounted it to the frame and put it directly in front of the tank. They even make an inline filter if you would want to put between the tank and pump for like $10 at NAPA. I bought it but never put it on. I mounted a toggle switch to be able to turn the pump on/off(just bc the valve sticks, esp when its hot outside, when too much psi of fp is put out on initial start and makes it hard to start at 20+ psi). Fires up perfect every time and it has been 8 months+ and I have had no issues. My father in law has had the same one on his 2001 24v for 6+yrs now. Even if it goes bad...I'll buy another one. I will have had to go through 5-6 Holley Blues just to pay the same price as a FASS or Airdog(not saying they are bad, just way overpriced). It's totally up to the person and how much they want to spend at the time. Good luck!

I could tell a very slight difference with the BHF from stock but I mostly love the looks. I do believe 98.5-2000 all have hy35 and auto 01-02 have hy's but 01-02 w/ manual tranny have the hx35. I may have my years messed up with the 2000's...i am just trying to remember what I read.

Hey,I was curious...I have a BD Power box which has levels up to 5-5. It is just like the Edge Comp. I was curious if Edge can make it "hot" like the Comp Drag to keep fueling up to the 3200 rpm range??? I have been told it the same as the Comp but different label because BD Power bought some of these boxes from Edge and slapped their name on them. Does anyone have any idea? Thank y'all

Awesome man. I have the hx35 and i just dynoed two months ago and hit 380 on first run. 402 was my best. They had no torque reader. You can get 350 hp out of that turbo with just a few hundred bucks. As long as you have a GOOD turbo, it will get there if that's what you want. Don't be to discouraged with the hx.

Hey mine is the same way. It seems normal and runs fine though. Mine is not quite 5 seconds but maybe 3. It takes a second or two for my oil pressure to build up. I say MoparMan is right. or it could be "normal" especially if it goes out and stays out.

I love the outdoors so it is awesome for that and tons of nice trucks and shops out here close...Edge,Industrial Injection,etc. The base is nice and has a lot to do to. I would recommend it. Let me know if you all come out here. I'm in a forum group called BlackedoUT and they meet once a month and are pretty knowledgable.Thanks everyone for the welcome!

Hey! jgendr is exactly right! I bought a brand new Holley Blue fuel pump w/out regulator on ebay for $71 at my door. I was going from 7-9 psi at idle to 22-25 psi now. It is cheap and people talk crap about it but it is the best way to go financially. If you want, you can mount an inline fuel filter between tank and holley blue mounted on the frame. It isn't necessarily needed but may keep your nerves down. I also mounted a fuel pres guage and a toggle switch to turn the pump on. When outside temp gets hot, sometimes it doesnt crank until 3rd try. What I did(Credit to jgendr), mounted that toggle switch so I start my truck normally and as soon as it starts, I hit my switch and turn on the Holley Blue. It has been working great for probably 5 months now. Awesome idea! --- Update to the previous post... Just curious where in PA your from BlackRam2500? I just moved out here to Utah in February but am from south central PA near Bedford.

Hey,I had a quick question. My brake light by my dash gauges has been coming on and off frequently since I have owned the truck. My seatbelt light will stay on sometimes also even if both are buckled up. Just those 2 lights. The previous owner said they came on and he never could figure out why. Neither can I. I have had no problems with my brake pads, lines, or fluid. Always full and new pads and light still comes on. I am starting to think it may not have anything to do with the brakes. Maybe electrical? wiring? etc? Does anybody have any wise input on this or ever experienced this? Thank you.

You could just save money and send the truck out west to your grandson!

I have a BD Power Box which is the same as Edge Comp Box and I have only a rebuilt 47re stock tranny. It holds awesome. I have a few upgrades and dynoed at Industrial Injection at 402 hp(no tq reader). My tranny holds great and has none to minimum slip. If I were to upgrade, single disc converter and valve body would do. Unless you are looking at putting out 550 HP or more, you should be fine with just those upgrades. Key I feel is don't haul a$$ all the time if not needed and keep it as cool as possible. Good luck!

Hello everyone! My name is Jesse and I am from Pennsylvania but moved to northern Utah this year...DIESEL COUNTRY! ha I am still learning the truck eveyrday more and love it! Nice to meet ya'll!
