It probably does work. It plugs into the fuel rail and the map sensor, not the data link.

What is the typical price for an EZ?



If only I didn't have to get a clutch.

Whiskey,



The Edge EZD1000D does work on a 2006 CD Dodge, we have sold a lot of them. Make sure if you buy from an e bay source that the Edge serial number sticker is intact, if it is not you will have NO warranty if you have to send it in to Edge down the road. Edge is trying to monitor pricing, and e bay is one of the worst problems for them, if the sticker is intact Edge can track where the product was sold. So the e bay sellers are prone to removing it. Call us if you have any questions etc.

BTW, I received an e-mail from TST indicating their unit will work for the 06 models (the ebay ad said there were no boxes for 06 models). Mark, do you carry TST?

 

[SRadke]

The TST is available for 06, and there are a few things in that Ebay add that are incorect/misleading. Do your homework before you purchase.

Just a "bit" below MAP pricing, ehh? Edge should crack down on that guy



EDIT - heck, his website does not even work

 

[JTryles]

TST for 2006 is available... I got an e-mail today from them saying so... but they are out of stock at the moment! I'm next in line apparently, but they might tell everybody that!

In response to TomeyGun's comment on Edge cracking down on a vendor selling under MAP. I feel if someone offers a product at whatever price so be it. Who are you to suggest that Edge or anyone else "crack down" on that vendor. I have dealt with many car dealers when purchasing a car and have found that you will find different prices at each one. I as well as many other people will deal with the one we feel most comforttable with and that will give us the best price. They always tell you that they have the "best service in town". BS. I will give you an example of what I felt was a disservice to me and anyone else that would have been offered the same. I was offered a "new" truck that had sustained salt damage in shipment and could only be sold as "used" for x amount of dollars. Keeping in mind that I had bought two new trucks from this dealer previously. I called another dealer that had a truck that I wanted and his price was lower on a new not salt damaged truck. So look around and if someone is willing to make a sale and you are satisfied, complete the deal and the heck will all the cry babies standing on the sidelines :-{}

Because Edge treats all vendors the same, And I have abide by M. A. P policies, so why shouldn't the ebay seller?

You are comparing apples to oranges, I can sell a new dodge truck for whatever my little heart desires. Thats the deal the dealer makes with the factory, we buy and then sell them. Simple, no "minimum advertised price" policies...



The "oranges" part is that when I signed up as a vendor for EDGE products, I HAD to sign a legal agreement that I will NOT advertise a certain product for under a certain price. I could have chosen not to sell EDGE, but its my choice to enter into the agreement - So yes, when someone thinks they are above the law and feel they do not have to abide by the same set of rules that the manufacture set forth to me, I think the manufacturer absolutely SHOULD crack down on them.



BTW, I can sell below that price, I just cannot advertise the exact price.

(so the comsumer still can get great deals)



BTW#2 - You are absolutely correct about the salt damaged truck, That truck should have been on the used lot, and heavily discounted. What can I say, there are some dishonest dealers out there, Buyer beware!

MAP pricing sucks, sorry but that's how I feel. I don't blame vendors like Tomeygun or DPPI for following the rules, but MAP is price fixing, plain and simple and it ain't legal. You wanna see oil companies start MAP pricing, if they thought they could, they would. Not trying to drag this off topic, just bringing a different perspective.



Hell, I'd love to see MAP pricing in my industry, since the one thing it does (in theory) is emphasize the service of the vendor, rather than price be the factor. Thing of it is, is that things like boxes are commodities that require little to no service from the seller after the sale. IE: Tom does not likely install many or any Edge modules. Tire makers won't do it though since it creates a huge regulatory issue for them to monitor all their dealers, if they don't they're beggin for a lawsuit, so is Edge if you ask me.

I sure have a different view on this. When a manufacturer expects that its dealers and resellers provide for good customer service that is essential to maintaining that manufacturers reputation, then absolutly they have the right to require its vendors to sell at or above a certain price.



Don't like it, don't sign the contract, sell somethng else, there are plenty of products in every market that are sold at discount from 'list'.



The problem is that there are many vendors that sell out of their trunk, don't support what they sell, don't pay all required taxes and basically screw over legitamite businesses, so part of a manufacturers support program is to prevent sheisters from participating in the market and allow good honest vendors to make money selling and suporting their product.



Nobody sells anything at cost, period. But if your costs don't include what the manufacturer expects you to provide, such as service and product knowledge, they have the right to have anyone else represent them that they choose. If you don't make a profit on their product, they know how you will treat your customers, and that hurts their reputation and market position, and all others who also sell that product.



Manufacturers should also support an MSRP that allows its vendors to sell at a 'discount' from what the manufacturer would sell for and still make a profit, and allow consumers to understand the approximate market price position for their product and compare different vendors. A manufacturer should never sell discount direct to consumers if it uses a reseller/vendor market model, that undercuts there vendors too.



The difficult thing is deciding what margin should be held above cost. If a price is artificially inflated, then competition will will settle the issue, if too low, then lack of support will drown the manufacturer too.



That being said, Edge needs to BUTT OUT when someone wants to sell their old product, that person has the right to sell for whatever price they choose, they own it, and they can use any images of that product that were used to sell it to them, or support it in the first place, such as pictures of the device or copies of the manual, if that manual is included in the sale.



MAP contracts are legal, and are more common than you think, ever buy a Coke or a Pepsi???

Well put, Dieselman. Over twenty-plus years of being in retail, selling everything from green tractors, to orange and white chain saws, all sorts of construction equipment, and currently residential and industrial coatings(paint), I have ALWAYS tried to offer the best possible service, and treat people how I would want to be treated. This requires making a reasonable profit margin. It costs a TON just to open the doors of a legitimate business on a daily basis, but in every industry I have been in it has been plagued by ******. Retail is one industry where prostitution is not only legal, but worshipped. Yet I still see people hunting to the edges of the Earth to save a buck, then come back yelping when they get HOSED by some low-baller. You can't have it both ways, folks, not in the long term.
