Tim, I had the same thing happen with the salesman that sent me my packet I requested. His name was jeff arrend. I called banks directly and got a tech named danny. He was great. He knew every answer to every question off the top of his head.

I think the Edge and the Banks products are both good as well as some of the other chips. I just like the dial a horse feature on those two units and since I don't care for digital gauges, I chose the Banks product instead. It is being installed on Wednesday finally.
very good guy

guys i have ran banks products on four other vehicles one 460 motorhome, one v-10 motorhome, v-10 f250 and my 1996 Jeep Cherokee and the performance on each has been excellent. The price tag has also been excellent if your Gale Banks. This will be my first diesel with Banks products. I'll keep you informed I have a July 15th install date for the Big Hoss Package
. Phone calls have never been a problem. However. I do have an advantage over most of you i'm local to their facility. Maybe they don't like returning long distance.
But never have i had a problem.
This package is going on my '03 f350 Lariat 4x4 crew cab long bed.

DEAR CHOCTAW BOB, Let me show my stupidity but the Banks documentation is based upon a dually long bed. In the picks your truck appears to be single wheel short bed is that right? Do these two items make a difference? And still your point is well taken about cost. But is your dyno a true apples to apples comparison? And what were your weather condtions like? Was the dyno done under comparable conditions I'm sure Banks performs theirs under conditions most suited to their intentions. But what were your conditions? Thanks for your info. Just always wanting more.

The truck does not really matter that much. Bob will tell you more on the dyno process

They will custom fabricate one. They have different core sizes and different end caps to choose from or at least they did the last time we ordered one.
These will work gas or diesel, no difference. Measure the stock IC and hose locations. then add the additional that will fit in the truck.
