Has anyone used the Blue Chip product to repair an APPS? I ordered one and just wonder if there is anything that I should know that is not in Chip's instructions that may be of help. I am trying to decide whether to install the rehastat myself or let someone else do it. Thanks

yep mcoleman, I changed fluid and filter and it stopped for a couple k miles then started again. If it is what you say do you think it can cause the trany to just flat quit?

rrausch: I have an 02. The slipping is a vibration that I get and yes it is normally on hills or pulling. However it is mostly when the truck is cold. Once it warms up it does not seem to be a bad. I have a temp gauge so I keep an eye on that. The only thing I have done is put in the AFE air...

Robert, I understand about planning. Just have not had time to address the problem. Hope to make the trip without trouble. I am pulling about 4ton not a big load. I have 50K on the truck. The transmission slips from time to time and I have changed fluid and filter in the last 2K This is the second...

Were are the good transmission shops from Kansas City east to Nashvile and on north from there? I am leaving on a business trip next week and my auto trany is slipping some. Want to know my options before I set out in case of trouble.

I have a Tekonsha Envoy brake controler in my '02. Never had any trouble since I put it on last fall. Today I hooked up and when I step on the brake I get a buzz in my radio. Any clue as to why? I checked to make sure the plug was in good. Thanks, Dave in Ks

You guys are all talking about our trucks getting poorer mileage in the winter time. I wonder why. I always thought an engine ran better with cool air. Someone posted something about maybe it is the winter blend of fuel?? Any answers???

commercial OK here it comes. ----------The problem I have with my EZ has been resolved. Power Edge says I should be able to tell the difference and if not they will replace the box. They are sending me anothe one. I will let you know if there is an improvement in the performance. The thing is...

Thanks for the info. Sounds like we need an aviation radio cooling fan mounted in there somewhere. Dave

I put an Edge EZ on my 02 two weeks ago. Can't tell any difference. I pulled an 8000# trailer 1200 miles and did not see any difference over stock. Now what. do I need injectors? However I must say that stock is not bad. I like the fact that I can pass someone doing 70mph and gain speed going...

On a recent trip in my new 02 we did several hours of night driving. I noticed the rheostat dial for the intrument lights and the area around it got almost too hot to touch. I know that a resistor will creat heat but this almost seems a bit much. Anyone else have this problem? Dave in KS

cold weather Cold weather seems to do that to all of us. Did not know it did it to trucks too. I guess I never paid any attention to it the last cold spell we had. Dave

I just put an Edge EZ on my 02. The one thing I noticed right away was that the chirp is gone when I shut it off. Is this normal?? Thanks

More info----- Thanks so far guys. I did forget to mention that I do pull a trailer. It is not heavy problably under 8K. I feel I need the Trans Temp. Dave

I have a stock 02 2500 4X4. I am thinking of adding the new X-monitor with fuel pres. I have an auto trans so need temp for that. I am not planning on doing much right now as far as Bombing. May add an EZ. What is more important for me at this stage, EGT or Boost? Dave
