So tonight after i wash the truck i decide to head to the store to get some food for the trip tomorrow. the cell phone holder i have been using to hold my attitude broke so ive just been running around with it on my lap or sitting in the center console. Well as i get out the truck and shut the door i hear this god awful cracking noise. i knew right away what had happened...i look at the attitude and the LCD display in completely black........so is it ok for me to run on level 2 w/o the guages or should i just run on the stock setting......ill be pulling a trailer with 4 quads on it to pismo beach......200 miles 1 way. the only concern i have is goin up the questa grade on level 2 w/o a egt guage...should I be fine in doing so. Im also thinkin bout callin mark craig at performance deisel and havin one shipped next day air to my buddies house in pismo beach....thanks

I would think if you have any worries of EGT's I would not push it. Your truck will handle that load at stock.


Someone here may be able to give you a better response. Edge does say it Level two is for towing, but long up hill grades may alter that.


Yeah it is nice to pass people with three times their weight going up a hill, but It is your truck and you will have the aftermath if somthing happens, not us.

Yes, better safe than sorry. But 4 quads on a trailer wont even sweat your truck, I highly doubt it would be a problem.


Just put it on level 1 and forget about it till you get a new attitude.


btw, ~DUDE! You got a Bad Attitude!! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif
