Where to purchase Edge EZ or Comp?

[txwingrider]

Where can I purchase an Edge EZ or Edge Comp and what kind of price am I looking at? I'm really impressed with the pick up and power it provides as I took a ride in a friends '99 model and Whew! Awesome! I do pull a heavy 5th wheel and the extra power would be nice for here in Colorado but am concerned about voiding out any warrenty I may need ( hope not) in the future. Soooooo... ..... If I keep it stock then I'm talking 7 years. Where is the line drawn on what I can add to my truck? I appreciate any information you can send this way.

RockyMTN, well I hate to be the one to tell you this but the line is already drawn. Bombs=Voided Warranty



So if warranty is on the top of the priority list stay stock for 100k. I know thats not what you probably wanted to hear but thats how it works.

funky rant

If you had a few hundred thousand to spend on legal fees and a few years to spend in court, you could probably WIN A WARRANTY CLAIM against Daimler/Chrysler.



As a matter of law--they have to prove that the product in question CAUSED the failure.



But as a matter of course, you're going to run into one of two situations. One, is the dealership that will say "warranty void" when you tint the windows. The other is one who'll "overlook" things like an EZ.



Problem is even if the local guys are cool about it and the product DIDN'T cause a failure--prying eyes and ears from up the ladder are going to cancel a warranty claim of any significant expense for ANY POSSIBLE reason. Why? The old corporate-- FU it's our bottom line we're protecting.



Personally I feel that it takes an IDIOT or a really big batch of bad luck to foul up the mighty CUMMINS. If you keep the oil clean, monitor the EGT's and supply fuel pressure, keep the fuel filter changed, let it warm up before romping on it, and use a little bit of common sense YOU STAND A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE OF not needing to make a warranty claim.



Sure it'll sting a little if the VP-44 goes out, but that's what an emergency fund is for. And be damned if a STOCK VP would go back on mine. Perfect excuse to get a tweaked one.



Lift pumps are a regular warranty issue. For a warranty replacement you have to take it in and then they'll take a day to diagnose it, a day to get the part, and a day to put it on.



Or you go to Cummins with the part number and slap it on yourself in a couple of hours for $150 and some beer.



Transmission warranty is useless, it expires at 36k.



I don't need their warranty. If you can save some money and put it aside (like enough for a VP-44 and installation) then you can consider yourself SELF INSURED and let them stick the warranty. They'd be happier that way too. Don't need them monkeys under my hood. Let them do a reflash once--drove 70 miles to a reputable dealer when I have several closer to home.



NOW I'd call Rod at Wildcat Diesel or any of the TDR aftermarket performance advertisers. Don't forget your TDR discount. Or even better find one on the classifieds here. Don't forget that Diesel Dynamics sells a very slightly different version of the EZ and Comp.



I bought mine at 47k, put a comp on at 58k, and DD3's are going in at 85K, and bigarse turbo will be next--way before 100k. Oo.

I got ALL (except the B1B) of my bombed parts from Rip Rook www.sourceautomotive.com. I based it on someone I could deal with and would stand behind anything!



Rip does exhaust but also carries everything else. His motto, I make a little, you save the rest. Well worth giving him a call. 866. 211. 1533



If I wasn't TOTALLY satisfied I wouldn't have chimed in here.

You'll find various vendors & various prices if you check the TDR Website sponsors.

Rod's the best-- a guy you can really trust. I own the EZ and love it-- it has worked very well for me.



I would recommend the EZ or the Diesel Dynamics equivalent (which many feel is better).



If you insist on tapping the wire, then the TST boxes might be more what you want. Rod recommends them because they seem to have more reliable electronics, and the upgrades ( to drag version) are cheaper. Plus, they're just cheaper to begin with. They also have 10 levels vs the Edge's 5. The lack of aggressive timing in the TST boxes also helps the headgasket live longer, even if it possibly reduces power and raises EGTs a very slight degree.

I purchased my comp from Rip and wouldn't hesitate to buy another from him. He was way under everyone else on pricing at the time.
