Fuel Box Warning

[TBOB]

BE CAREFUL WITH THE FUEL BOXES. I WAS TOLD THERE ARE 3 COMPUTORS ON THE '03 AND NOBODY HAS REALLY FIGURED IT OUT. CUMMINS WON'T RELEASE THE SECRET. THE SYSTEM HAS A LEARNING CURVE. AND WILL RESET THINGS FOR FUELING AND SUCH. I WOULD CALL EDGE TECH OR ANY OTHER COMPANY BEFORE INSTALLING ANYTHING. TBOB

 

[Prairie Dog]

Ahrrr - my ears are bleeding! Oo.

TBOB.....

What Prairie Dog is saying is that typing in all caps is considered SHOUTING, on the internet

 

[MUDDY]

[24V-DSL]

[timjones]

SEmerson,

Theres about a million things about getting around CARB in Kalifornia. Mine included.

 

[Mopar_Mudder]

You see to read alot of "I heard this and that" about the new computers. But it is all just that "I head" I have read no concrete information on any of it, that is one thing about the net, rumors travel as fast as everything else.

I have the box on my 250 HP and it took it up 60 RWP. At first I had a surging problem under hard load. Since I have erased the adaptive with the OEM scanner (DRB III) the surging went away and it drives great. I looked but couldn't find anything on the scanner that would indicate that there had been a fuel box on the truck.

 

[Mopar_Mudder]

SO what you are saying is that something in the Cummins computer needs to be changed other then just putting the "Box" on? How do you sneak that past the Dodge dealer

 

[Blair]

I not sure if that would hold true for every truck as we were doing some other testing on mine around the same time and the combination of the two things might have caused the surging. The dealer can't look at the adaptive learn but they can reset it (battery disconnect via the scanner). I'm going to spend some more time with the scanner on it today to see what else I can see.

 

[Mopar_Mudder]

Don't want to take up your time but I was wondering if you have any information on how exactly this "adaptive learning" works, what it really does? Enquiring minds what to know...

 

[Blair]

They don't make any reference about the adaptive in the scanner and there is no way I have found to look at it just clear it.

 

[Fred Swanson]

No problems since adding the EZ, no surging and no loss of power. Fuel mileage is definitely up, very nice feature.

 

[COBRAJET]

I have had a Quadzilla 65HP box on mine now for 3K miles. I have experienced nothing out of the ordinary... except for more passing power than an 8K truck should have... CJ

EDGE EZ

I PULLED 5ER 15K TODAY WITH EDGE EZ ON #2. RAN WELL AND SO FAR NOTHING ABNORMAL TO REPORT. GETTING ON FREEWAY I PUSHED IT IN 5TH GEAR TO 3000 RPM EGT 1200 DEG F BEFORE TURBO, AND 30 LBS. BOOST, IT LOOKED LIKE THE EGT WAS GOING TO KEEP GOING UP, SO I BACKED OFF. WHEN I HAVE TIME, I WILL INSTALL 4" DOWN PIPE AND 5" FROM THERE BACK, INCLUDING MUFFLER. TBOB
