in my opinion, I would stay clear of edge products, I had a lot of trouble in the past with their product and the only solution was a dealer reflash of the ecu. And no this was not an isolated case it happened 3 times on different makes. And bullydog makes a decent programmer as long as you don’t have any troubles. The tech line is usually jammed for at least 20 minutes every time i have called. We have had the best luck with rbp wich is a programmer tuned by ppe. They make good power and seem to be safe, since the tranny head gaskets and turbo seals have been known to fail on these vehicles just do some small stuff and you will be fine. ---

those three can yeild you about an additional 200 hp safely. You can gain a little more but then you should add a pyrometer and boost guage. ---

I hate the fact it will be a few more years before quality is back. Each manufacturer has its potential issues. This is hopefully not going to turn into a perf truck. A semi-daily…mostly tow machine which may see a plow. I need 22" tires designed for all season with more profile… help! ---

As far as some of the powerstrokes go. On the o5’s stated by ford it says that the injectors only last 30k in city driving or with consistant long idleing time. 80k for normal driving. If it’s having hard starts in the cold(no start,exccesive smoke,or running ruff upon first couple mins of starting) get it checked out so you don’t get F-ed on the warranty.also be sure to change the fuel filters at least every other oil change. It runs alot of fuel pressure so the fuel filter being clogged can throw a light or lead to the other problems I mentioned. There are 2 filters on it also.1 along the frame rail on the drivers side, and 1 on top of the intake manifold. This is just good matinence for all diesels. Just a thought since no one listens to what I have to say anyways. ---

Where’s da wizard, he’s been dealing with 6.0 problems/quirks for a while now. That’s what happens with the high miles and lots of abuse on these beauties. Though I must say they make some good power with a simple chip. Given all the choices a lot of my customers use the Edge New Evolution or the Diablosport and the aFe or Airaid intakes for starters. As far as exhaust is concerned BD Diesel, Magnaflow, and Bully Dog are very cost effective for their turbo back setups. ---

We’ve been having a huge problem with the like 30 E-450 busses.We actually change them with every oil change.I think we use very low qualitly fuel also. For my Duramax I actully really try to only get fuel from one spot, so if I have a problem with dirty fuel I know where it came from.I like to play it safe. ---
