Next Question
Took the truck out for a test drive after disconnecting the Edge system and it runs fine. Could be my mind playing tricks on me but it seems to run better than it has for a while now? Assuming the chip was the issue and since I'm not going to replace it, is it okay to run the truck long term with the Edge wiring still in place? I guess I could remove it all but if its not gonna hurt anything I'll just leave it.
Thanks,
Brian

Driving around on a bad sensor can eventually damage the wiring itself.

Also, if the wiring harness for the edge has any shorts or broken wires, only part of the truck may be runnin tuned, even in "stock." The rest of the truck may be in total confusion.
So, it very well could be runnin better than it was in edge's stock tune.
I know Dodge guys that have switched from edge to other tuners, and left the edge plugged in to use as gauges. Supposedly a few of them picked up horsepower on a dyno by unpluggin the edge.
Bottom line, edge boxes are weird. There are much better options availible.

Power Source
Again thanks for all the help.
As far as the Edge system goes where does it draw its power from? I disconnected the grey cable that runs between the dash mounted control box and box under the hood, but have I really "killed" the tuner? The control box is dead but is the Edge system still having an effect? If this same check eng light/loss of power occurs again I'd like to be pretty certain I've ruled out the Edge system before trying to go back to the dealership. I guess what I'm asking is how can I eliminate the tuner to make certain its not effecting the engine with out totally removing everything under the hood. Is it possible that its "dead" now? The dam things wired in to about 5 or 6 points on the truck and I'm not certain the stock connectors still exist? I know I don't have the stock wiring harness for the acc./pedal sensor. With any luck I won't have the problem again.

Included in that manual is the install instructions.
Just do everything that they say except in reverse and you will have uninstalled the Edge.

The Edge Tuner has been totally removed from the truck and all seems to be okay. Much easier to remove than I thought it would be. Now it's just waiting game to see if that's what was causing my issue's? I'm pretty certain it was but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Thanks again for all the help.
