well so far i have made sure all filters are clean air fuel oil even i am pretty up on all that i change it way early but i am that way oil and fuel ever 3000 miles i can see any blown or loss hoses and i am now putting the box back in the truck and see what still happens i am not getting any codes and i am totally lost on this one. the dealer says fuel pressure is ok but wounder how they check that. and i guess the trans being a 6 speed will show 2 to 4 % slip but why doesnt it show that when im dumping the cluth from a dead stop and bang gears never show any that way only on roll ones from a higher gear. any other ideas or what i should do would be helpful thanks all

ok this is weird now what lol. I decided to disconnect battery for about 4 hrs and decided to put the edge back in and now i started the truck today and drove to work had it on 2 and it seemed to not have a problem jumped on iy and it pulled smooth then deciced to go in to 3 setting and she ran great pulled even harder. then i decided to go to five and she would pull to the moon on roll ons like there was no tomorrow. she smoked and seemed to make great power. I am just so lost on this truck its like it has its on mind and its own time of the month lol. i then looked at the back down recording and i did record 10 % of back down at one point or another but not sure why or what all that means can anyone put a little light in my mind on this truck lol.

sounds like you had a code did you check that before? sometimes that happens. check for codes by turning the key on and off three times they will show in the odometer. disconecting the battery probobly cleared them

I sort of hate to sound like this, but I work in the field of engineering, and one of the things we tend to say in my line of work is that customers will often "pay to play." Truth be told, if 300+ hp and 600+ lb-ft of torque (the stock figures) are not enough, something's wrong. If this is what the veichle has been designed for, it's going to be (and should be) a warranty-voiding issue to change that. D-C corporation (or whatever the name is this month) can only be held responsible for the truck as it was originally.
If a programmer such as the Edge has been added, you may have to go after them for assistance, since D-C can't be laible for what damages may have been caused from running thier programmer. And just like your personal computer keep a tally of every website you visit, your truck's computer keeps a tally of what's gone through it as well. The sad truth is, something's likely been damamged, and now it's going to have to be resolved.

Any resolution?
Your symptoms sound like mine when my lift pump was in the process of failing. I like the attitude monitor that Edge offers - knowing the fuel pressure on your truck could help you figure out what's up. Don't know how the dealer tested your fuel system, but I do know on mine it passed the flow test even when it was beginning to fai.

what is spooling and how do you clean a map sensor
My turbo doesn't make much noise if any and I was wondering if it works right. How can I tell if it is working correctly?
