![]() Chucking the original 5.9L common-rail is easy when you’ve got a 6.7L Cummins from Wagler Competition Products for a replacement. For an Indiana power junkie that meant installing a Smarty tuner and a dual disc clutch right off the bat-which was soon followed by 150-percent over injectors and all the rest of it. After bringing his spotless, bone-stock, 89,000-mile third-gen home from California five years ago, Josh Ewing quickly made the truck his own. It still has very low miles on the odometer given its age, but the bright red four-door sports a 6.7L Cummins now, has been 48RE-swapped, and makes five times the horsepower it did when it left the factory. Life turned out very differently for this ’05 Dodge Ram 3500 than its original owner probably assumed it would. Pay attention to your truck.Josh Ewing’s Rowdy, Single Turbo, 48RE-Swapped ’05 Dodge Sure you don't want to damage your engine or tranny, but with good data reading and paying attention, maybe you can see how the truck responds to the tuner on other levels. Dash guages give so little critical info, and even on the temp guage, you can see a climb starting on most data readers well before it becomes very noticeable on the dash guage. With some quality real time data, maybe it's worth trying another tune to see if you hear detonation or consequential upticks in coolant temp. I realize the heat is occuring in the combustion chamber, but that can relate fairly quickly in a digital coolant readout, whereas a dash guage might only move on the high end in 10 degree increments. Since the tuner has real time data, can't you monitor your coolant temps fairly closely to see how the tuner might affect your engine at a higher tune? I have an MSD Dash Hawk that I use on a couple of GM vehicles I also own, and while it's not a tuner, you can read very sublte changes in critical data locations when the vehicle is under more extreme conditions.like in the mountains. I know I can call edge but I don't know If I will get an answer from them that I would get from someone who has one on here and has used it. I am not happy with the shifting on economy, But would like to try the towing setting. Here is the info from the edge site if you care to read it. I am aware that other programmers are better, such as the Diablo, but like I said, I was interested in this unit because it displays live info while you are driving where other programmers do not. If anyone can give some more information I would appreciate it. I hear and read stories of people doing damage to their motors when running a higher level tune. I do alot of towing and I have not used the towing level yet. I see improvement in economy, but the shifting seems the same as it was before the programmer was installed. On the economy level you only need to run regular fuel and it is supposed to improve shifting, and give better fuel economy. He scared me out of buying what He bought so I got the edge. But it gave live info like the edge, and I was going to purchase this particular tuner until The guy I ran into at the speed shop told me he burnt off the ends of the plugs and other damage to his 08 chevy. When I was at the local speed shop another guy was in there telling me he had purchased a different brand programmer (that I will not name) it was not an edge, and it was not a diablo. I have never used any level other than towing. ![]() When I was researching programmers, I wanted one that gave real time info, This one does, Tells you engine temp, oil temp, trans temp, MDS mode etc etc and you can chose what you want to monitor. Level 4 – Extreme (35 HP 68 ft-lbs torque).Level 3 – Race (20 HP 40 ft-lbs toque).Level 2 – Tow (10 HP 40 ft-lbs torque).Level 1 – Economy (8 HP 20 ft-lbs torque).The Evolution provides four power levels designed to extract peak performance from a truck’s engine. There are different settings or levels you can run. I Installed one in my 07 Ram, I have the 5.7.
