Q: jerry the dodge ctd is fantastic all on its own but with a properly installed performance kit its even better. whether you keep it stock or not you need guages. they are very informative but you need 4 guages . fuel feed pressure this will alert you to fuel filter issues and prevent you from destoying the high pressure pump due to primary fuel feed failuresvery expensive turbo boost. important when driving for economy. egt this will alert you to air filter issues induction air leaks turbo failures and damaging engine loads. gear box oil temp. this monitors the weakest link in the vehicle and can prevent you from destoying the transmission and will alow you limp home when failure occurs with minimal damage. of course if you feel lucky dont bother. otherwise guages are cheap insurance against stupid. steve edge ez for 2006 dodge ram 3500 ctd automatic transmission. a tech/mechanic at the delivering dealer suggested an edge ez power module for a small increase in mileage and 3 levels of power boost. i was told by the tech that while towing level 1 boot was ok level 2 ok for short times and to never use level 3 while towing and an egt gauge would not be necessary. just use tow haul mode and monitor the water temp. and use common sense and the engine and transmission would be ok . he said that the ez module is easy to remove and will leave no traces physical or digital for dodge to find and worry about and perhaps effect the warranty. does anyone know if this is true when i went to an edge dealer i was told that traces would be left in the computer and what i really wanted was the edge juice with attitude and a new air intake/filter assembly. not true if i want anything at all it is just the ez module with 2 piggyback plugs and a switch. 25/50 45/75 and 65/150 hp/ft-lb of power boost. what i really want is to know is this is the edge ez module worth the $390 for towing a 5th wheel up near the weight limit in the mountains of the west and can it be removed and leave no traces and if so do i need a pyro/egt gauge to be safe in using the ez module if i follow the techs advice thanks jerry o .
