I removed edge chip now that I have boost and EGT ISSPRO gauges. I was empty and floored it down highway. same thing I hit 1350 EGTS easily while flooring truck (empty). thats accelerating to. And my boost never goes over 30 psi with edge chip OFF.


Now with EDGE CHIP ON i can hit 40 psi boost and about 1450 egt easily accelerating empty. So I think my chip is good I think the esge just runs hot obviously and plus my truck is a 2004.5 and I think they run a lil hotter stock.

 

every EDGE i have installed on a dodge truck has run hot (including mine before I got a smarty). Every Dmax truck I have done does not run hot. Just the way it goes.

 

And guess what. WITH CHIP OFF (UNHOOKED) i still can see black smoke a little bit. Can any1 else see black smoke stock?

 

Wow....

Sallyman you finally took it off. Here is the deal. My truck bone stock would hit 1300 then defuel. With the Smarty it would peg 1500 like it was no ones business. Thats normal #'s I would say. Boost #'S ARE ON THE MARK, STOCK WILL PEG 32-33 THEN DIVE TO 28 FLAT. The box will let you over boost up to about 40#, but I would not recommend it.

Sounds to me like your truck is running well. Take it to the track and report back with #'s and we can really tell you whats up. My truck would react like 2 different trucks when compared between street and strip....

 

Crazy. I never seen over a grand when I ran a Juice w/ Att.

 

most can see over 1000* running stock.

 

o6 I would be scared of readings lke that, they seem wrong, where is your probe located? do you have a pic of the installed probe ?

 

sounds post turbo to me! That would be 1300 at WFO if so....about right!

 

x 2.

My guess is that the probe is not located in the manifold......

 

My truck smokes when I punch it with the stock tune.

 

yeah . I have a pre turbo and post turbo EGT probes and ive seen 1500 before the turbo and only 1000 after the turbo at the same time.

 

sallyman how much smoke are we talking about? haze or puff? i barely see haze with my truck when juice is unhooked, u have to really look hard!

 

who cares anymore? I cant believe this has been drug on this long

 

just a black haze.

 

I would say everything is normal with the truck being stock. My EGT's go up 150 - 200 degrees when I take the smarty back to stock. I see 1350-1400 on stock tunes
