Ya. Made me laugh 3 times.

Went down to Langley today to buy a tuner for my truck. Brand new edge juice with attitude. Cost me $375, found it on craigslist. Think I got a pretty sweet deal.

Well my trip to the coast is done. Truck somehow got really dirty. Edge is installed. Snowed here last night. Not much just a skiff.

Have not really had a chance to really try it. Took a run down the hiway after installing. Did a little smoke show in front of the house. On level 3 it seems to turn the tires like crazy. Not really the tuner I was wanting but the price was right. Have to take a longer trip next week and see how much of a difference I notice.

Now now val, where I come from that is considered foreplay!!

Yeah Chris, Im always interested in the mileage gains a guy gets with a tuner, be curious to see yours and how long it would take to "pay off" so to speak!

Ive had a Edge in my truck for some time now.
Didnt help the fuel mileage but sure makes it more fun to drive.
Hard on tires and Dodges...............
I pull a trailer lots so I keep mine on #2 .
On #3 or (Race?) its almost dangerous, as when you put your foot in it the whole truck will try and break loose.

Mines only got 3 settings.
So i keep it on the middle one.
You cant tow with it on the higher settings because of the EGT's?
Well at least you should have a guage.
I can go up Little Fort hill with a 20 foot gooseneck loaded with chainlink fencing stuff(heavy) at 100 km.
My check engine light sometimes comes on when Im working it overly hard but it goes out again.
I think the chip just confuses the CEL>
