hey guys just wondering.. i have a 09 6.4 and i was wondering if i should upgrades my gauges or just stick with the stock ones for now. all i have is a k&n intak:dunno:e and edge chip, but this summer i plan on putting the spartan in the truck.. so let me know what yall think
IMO, hold off until you get the Spartan, you can monitor numerous parameters with the dash daq. Unless you want mechanical gauges Spartan's tuner does it all through the OBD port.
What type of edge chip do you have? I'm looking into getting an edge chip for my 08 6.4, Do you like it? Did it work as well as you thought it was going to?
ive got the edge evolution... and yea i works pretty good it is my first chip so i didnt have high expectations for it but that was when i first got into diesel trucks ... but yea it works very well.. what chip were you looking for?
I was looking into the edge evolution because I just got a 6.4 and do not want to delete the DPF yet so I think that was a better choice for my situation since i don't need to run custom tunes and etc, are you looking to sell it? And How was your gas mileage using it? What did you normally run it on?
The juice w attitude has about 12 or so engine parameters to watch has a mileage, tow, drive, race, and extreme modes. I run mine in extreme with a light foot and gain about 1-2 mpg the edge runs with with the DPF. I'll get 13 mpg going to work.
I was looking at the edge evolution and you can monitor up to 24 vital engine functions (depending on vehicle) on the in-cab display, has the same modes, up to 100 hp extra, and reviews are stating up to like a 5 mpg gain, not sure what tune they are running on but probably the fuel mode i guess. If you are running on extreme, does it smoke alot? Sorry for asking so many questions
No she has a haze when shes at WOT but no smoke I've just noticed that I get the best mileage in extreme. In the manual it says extreme gives you 70 HP and 150 lbs-ft. It's nothing crazy but its safe added power with the DPF still in the exhaust. I was in the same position your in now so ask all the questions you want. I tow a 30 ft gooseneck horse trailer in tow mode and tow/haul mode on with the truck and haven't had a problem in the last 20k miles.
Do you have anything else done to your truck besides edge? and how much are you looking to get for the programmer? do you have the dash mount? You can send via pm if thats better
I'm going to have to pass, I appreciate the offer. I have another thread going around programmers, and I think I'm going to save up to get either a spartan or mini maxx tuner and run tunes for dpf, and when i delete the dpf i don't have to worry about buying a new tuner
i would let my edge go with the mount for 300! and the cd that came with it!:icon_ford:
