EDGE juice
Im deeply considering taking out my Edge chip,If i do,will the truck relearn itself or will there be anyrecourse by doing so? The reason being is Im told it depletes your fuel mileage!,I have tried it on all 3 settings and not much of a difference, Im getting about 500-530 a tank of diesel is there something grossly wrong with that mileage or what can i do or is that all these big piggies get?

How are your driving habits(not only how you drive, but the type of driving as well(city, highway, combination, how many miles one way, terrain that you are driving etc.))? A lot of variables go into mpg, more then what a lot of people realize or think about.
