Just installed the edge with attitude. Stock intake, muffler removed. no tranny mods. Basically running edge with no muffler. won't go higher than level 2 as of yet. This is my first diesel and I have been driving it about 3 months. I have never driven a chipped diesel before, and this thing is INSANE. W/O going over level 2 do I need to beef up the tranny, or will the stock allison handle it? (according to the instructions that came w/ the edge, level2 is fine for stock alli and level 3 is pushing it if used sparingly, 4 and 5 are out of the question) I drove around on level 2 for about 10 minutes and did 2 0-60 runs (one in stock, one in level2 8.8 and 8.1 resp.) tranny temp never went above 125. outside temp high 40's. doesn't look to be a problem, but summer temps can reach high 110's here in vegas. I appreciate any input.

Level 3 which is 75hp 220lbft tq. That's what I've been running on. I started out on 2 and went up to 3. I've run 5 a couple of times and 4 once. I defuel on all shifts to help protect the tranny (all juice levels). Good luck and enjoy. :ro)

Don't worry, it won't be long before that little voice in your head is telling you to bump up to levels 3 and 4. Next thing you know you'll be running level 5 and low boost level 5. I also said I wouldn't go past 2......until I saw a Stroker pull up beside me in the left lane...

I run all levels all the time. No problems. Have fun.

Hired Gun,
Are you running all levels on a stock transmission?

BTW, I was playing around with the low boost feuling setting today. Level 5 is pretty nice. Gets it off the line way better than stock. It does make a little bit of smoke though. A mitsu eclipse got stuck behind me and caught the full wrath of the diesel smoke. He got in the other lane to pass me so I gave it WOT on level 2 and left him in the dust:D . THis thing could really get me in trouble if I am not careful.

this is what happens when you put the edge on level 5, OD off and tow haul on..let em rip.....

Sadly it looks like yet another diesel owner has succumbed to the "Diesel Pushers" on this site. :o: Tinman, pay off one of your credit cards so you can start purchasing mods, don't fight it, it is hopeless! ):h JJ :)

Powerlevel 4

Low Boost 5

Been 9 months and driving hard on 4 and occasional #5 for passing ):h

Before i got my tranny upgraded I ran it mostly off, but I did some boosted launches in 4X4 on level 5, basically when I ran it was on level 5. I ran it for almost eight months that way.When I got the tranny done the c3s were the only ones that were discolored at all (and that was barely noticeable) and I even limped it once. You know that a 21 year old isn't going to be the easiest on the tranny.
