What does it take to get someone to respond?

How is the trucks power? Does it fill the same? Is it blowing more smoke than normal? What boost were you seeing before?
Do you hear any kind of hissing sound when your driving it?

check your intercooler fittings/boots. also, do you get any codes up? like P0299?

Is it an "Oiled" K&N filter-? Clean the MAF.
Also if everything is stock- 23 is about normal boost for most of these trucks.

Block the EGR and reroute the PCV - that'll keep the intake clean and keep oil out of the intercooler. You'll find that your intake is likely caked with gunk - that'll zap performance... and if you allow too much oil to build up in your intercooler, it'll blow your IC boots off under power.

Yeah when I first got the truck new and put the edge on I would trip the over boost alarm &nd it was set at 30

Edge is notoriously bad for 'gauge readings'. You weren't even close to 30 stock.

When I had my edge I had the alarm set at 28 and it would go off before, and the most I seen was 25-27 with it and I dont think its very accurate...

Ya if you get real gauges you will see the REAL readings. Edge is off by a ton.
