Been on the edge site looking at the units. Looks like the only way I can use this on my 95 is to buy a $300 wiring kit to convert it to a non OBDII vehicle. Still probably better than the gauges, but it almost doubles the cost for me. Guess I will have to think about it awhile. Looks like a nice unit, I see why you went this route. If it wasnt for the extra 300 I would have already ordered one.

I do not know if there is a difference, need to confirm that. I was just going by what info was on their site. Since they say it is for '96 up and sell a kit for non OBDII trucks, you would think they know what they are talking about.
I would definitely like to know how to tell if it is a II or not. I would really like to run the Edge instead of gauges.

Well, what can I do affordably to get better boost? I don't want to do injectors and all of that stuff. Can I upgrade the wastegate or something of that nature? I also wonder if the Edge is accurate. I put on the RPM gauge just to see and it told me it was turning 2175 at 65 mph but my tach said more like 2300. All that has been done to the truck is in my sig. I know the E4OD is lesser than the manual, but 10-13 seems low to me still.

And there ya go. Good info. Mike, do you have any input what I might do to increase my boost without injectors, programmers, etc? Am I pretty much stuck with what I have? I'll be hunting down leaks this weekend, but I still think it could be better.

I hope so. I don't want to be doing anything else to the truck as far as adding more fuel and that sort of thing. I'll be looking at it this weekend. Hopefully I find what it is and can fix it with little issue. Ha, like that ever happens.

Adding a chip with good tuning is one of the best things you could do for the truck.
It want hurt it or the trans. The problem you hear from people adding power is cause they went out hotroding it.

No wastegate on these trucks Byron, unless Cali models have them that I'm unaware of. And I must disagree with the half price of the gauges. I got mine for Christmas!
Get yourself a chip, Racer X TQ, and Racer X VB and enjoy it.

In other news, truck is super right and feels like new going down the road after all of the front end work. I am super stoked about that. No more clunking when going over bumps and rough roads either. So now, onto a little more power and some functionality....and more boost dangit!!!
