OK, took the truck into the dealer today. They test drove it and said that the noise is a misfire. Checked balance rates and they were fine. Next up is the compression test. They said that the edge chip may have melted a piston? Does this sound like something possible? What else may cause a misfire? Oh and my mileage has gone from 18 to 7 too.

Fuel filter?Fuel pump?Harness?Batteries?Air filter?Bad fuel?Bad ground?It goes on and on.Not a good idea to let the dealer see aftermarket goodies on the truck.Could the MAF sensor have oil on it?Have you tried unplugging the Edge?

This dealer is "chip friendly" they told me that if its caused by the edge that they will have me come and take it off for them and they would fix it under warranty.

They looked at it for free. Did balance rates, and compression test. All came back within 'normal' realm. They can only think of the edge chip as the cause. Everything on the tec11 came back clean.

NO charge to me!

Dinner? NO NO NO BEER They have enough beer now to last a week.

Have you tried it without the Edge?

Ya have tried it. Its much much less frequent, but still does it. Just VERY hard to duplicate in front of the techs. Makes me wonder about their conclusion.
