Who all is into performance mods on their TV ?
I'm one that can't leave well enough alone regarding vehicle performance. I can't be the only one around here... What have you all done ? This rig is pretty modest so far.

The argument is pretty simple and spend enough time on the tuner sites you will see the broken crank, melted piston guys are running the tuned trucks.
Thats not what all I saw on the several Dodge/Cummins webs I was a member of.
Now if were talking about those hot rod types who want mega hp/torque numbers and say to drive it like you stole it with clouds of "moron looking" black smoke then your point has some credit.
However I see other diesel truck owners with older model diesels which were down on power who are looking for a bit of help with towing duties and are using products for that purpose with great results.
I've have a Edge programmer on my '03 Dodge/Cummins 305/555 HO since it was new. This Edge was their first out for the new HPCR engines and has no adjustments and was advertised for about 40-45 hp and 85 + ft lbs. Perfect for waking the '03/'04 HPCR Cummins up in the 1800-2000 rpm range.
With 292k miles on the Cummins I've had no issues with Blackstone or non of the mechanical problems being posted by some.
I've also added a Westach dual boost/egt gage at that time. Great trouble shooting device when needed.
The AFE PRO 7 air filter added before the Edge box actually lowered EGTs when towing.
The Jacobs exhaust brake installed by the Dodge dealer through Dodge Businesslink program at the time the truck was purchased. Great feature with my NV5600 manual tranny.
For those that are looking for help in modifying their trucks suspension to safely carry more weight check out our truck camper forum.
