Do I disconnect the battery before installing my Edge EZ?

[kcnizdodge]

Ok guys, you are the experts, most of you have done this multiple times, so I need to get your advice.



I am ready to install my Edge EZ today. I have installed my DiPricol EGT and boost gauges and they are working fine. Now, here is the question. Do I have to disconnect the battery(s) before installing the EZ? On my 96 Chev gasser (454) I had to disconnect the battery any time I wanted to add some electronics (or so I was instructed by the Chevy people) so the computer wouldn't freak out.



Sooooo, is this the case with my CTD?



Any help would be appreciated as I am standing on one foot then the other waiting to get it installed!!



Thanks a bunch. . .

No. . just make sure the truck is all the way off with the key out. You'll be fine without disconnecting the battery. You are going to love the extra power.

Nope just uplug the two connectors and then plug them into the ez and then plug the pigtails back in... should take about 30 seconds to do. Well maybe a minute since its your first time.

Have fun and enjoy the new power!!

Hey now, you are not a goober! Goobers don't drive a Cummins equipped truck.



Well I have not met one yet.



Enjoy your new found power!

Obviously you havent talked to my wife, she may have a somewhat different

opinion!!

Now what does she know? She probably doesn't even like the Cummins.

Oh on the contrary, she thinks this is the greatest truck we have owned in the 16 years we have been married! I told her, "Not every choice I have made in the last 16 years was bad. I did marry YOU!!!"



She is a sweetheart and my very best friend!! She tells me "goober" is one of those terms of endearment!!



But she does LOVE that CTD truck!!!

There is hope for her yet.



16 years that's great! We are on 19 now and get along very well, but that will come to a screeching halt if she calls me goober.



No offense intended to any one named Goober.
