I have 2001 power stroke I put the edge in and wanted to see what kind of air filter to put in ? Running a stock fram what do u guys think for the money and will I get better fuel mpg ?

 

You should try the 'removeedgeprogramer mod.' Its a favorite of mine, and makes your transmission last a lot longer.

As for air filter, 6637 is popular, just not with me (even though I run it! haha). I like the AIS, but if you arent doing anything crazy, even a stock filter will be okay.

 

So it's a good idea to leave it on stock when I don't need it am im I right ?

 

Its a good idea to take it off your truck asap. The edge programmers are not specific to any motor. They program it to meet many vehicles to save costs, but its bad for your motor to do that. It needs 1 on 1 attention. Ditch the edge and get a custom tune from DP or PHP.

 

Thanks i was wanting to no in order to put that air filter in that u recommended can i use the same filter box ?

 

Well lets back this up a bit. Do you have any gauges? You shouldnt add power before you can monitor you motor. You need at MINIMUM an EGT gauge, but I would recommend a Boost, Trans Temp, EGT set up. Otherwise you are asking for trouble.

Next you need to give your truck some air, which is where the air filter comes from. With just a chip you will probably be ok with just the stock filter, but there are a million options and they are all good (except K&N, dont use one of those on a turbocharged vehicle).

You will also need to upgrade your exhaust. What goes in needs to go out. Honestly, this could probably wait until after the chip, but ONLY if your EGT readings are not dangerously high.

After that THEN you are ready to get a chip/tuner/programmer.

As for the 6637 and AIS, neither of them use the stock air box.

 

Thanks when I get ready to do all that all let you no thanks for posting me back !
