• How to Install EGT Sensor with an Edge Programmer on a 2009 Chevy Silverado Duramax
• The EGT sensor # EP98603 is an accessory that you do not have to use with Edge programmer # EP85200.

Basically, installation is as follows: First you are going to need a 1/8 inch National Pipe Tap (NPT) which you can get from a local hardware store. You will need to drill a 21/64 inch hole or a 5/16 in

• Can the Rev Limiter be Adjusted Using a Bully Dog Triple Dog GT on a 2007 Chevy Tahoe with a 5.3L
• I spoke with my contact at Bully Dog about the Triple Dog GT tuner, # BY40410GMC. On your 2007 Chevy Tahoe with the 5.3 liter engine you can adjust the rev limiter. My contact stated that on 2004 to 2012 models the rev limiter can be adjusted but not on earlier models. To adjust the Rev Limiter you have to do it during the initial installation. When you first install the tuner it asks you several questions about adjusting tire size, speed limiter, and other items. It is in this initial set up

• Ability of Bully Dog Watch Dog Gauge Monitor to Correct Speedometer for Larger Tires
• Because the Bully Dog Watch Dog is a monitor only, it is not capable of programming or changing anything on the vehicle, including the speedometer calibration. However, the Watch Dog does have a speedometer display function that can be calibrated for accuracy, see page # 23 of the owners manual, which I have linked you to. While driving, you would just ignore the speedometer reading on the vehicle and go by the corrected speedometer reading shown on the Watch Dog.

• Fuel Efficiency Gains with the Superchips Flashpaq on a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 Crew Cab
• I spoke with my contact at Superchips and found that the estimated miles per gallon gain with the Flashpaq Performance Tuner is 10 to 15 percent when tuned for the Mileage XS Save tune. This gain is not guaranteed as it can be affected by many factors. The Superchips tuners are tested on stock vehicles without any modifications. If you have any other engine or appearance modifications such as larger wheels, then the that will effect the fuel efficiency. Another factor that will effect the fu

• Difference Between the Towing Mode on a 2004 Chevy Tahoe and Towing Mode on an Edge Programmer
• According to Edge, when placed in towing mode, tuning strategies are optimized to provide power where it is needed most in order to move a load. This means more low RPM torque and changes in the shift points, among other changes as needed for air/fuel, to maximize towing ability of the vehicle. The factory push-button towing setting prevents the truck from going into overdrive and/or changes the shift points (shifts at a higher RPM). It does not make additional tuning changes to the engine.

• Can the Rev limiter and Speed Governor/Limiter be Adjusted Using the Bully Dog GT Gauge Tuner

At this time the 6.0 liter engine is not supported by any of the BullyDog programmers.

• Where to Install EGT Sensor on 2006 Chevy Kodiak 6.6 Duramax Diesel using the Edge Evolution CTS

• Will The Edge Evolution Programmer # EP85150 Increase Gas Mileage on a Chevy Silverado
• Using the Edge Evolution, # EP85150, or a similar programmer will give you an increase in overall fuel economy when used in the Fuel Economy mode. But, because every truck, driving style, and terrain is different, Edge cannot provide an estimate of what sort of gains you would be seeing. I did read some testimonials about this programmer and some drivers were seeing immediate MPG gains of up to 2 or more miles per gallon over the span of a week. Edge does not have a Toyota specific programme

• What Kind Of Probes Are Needed When Installing The Edge Juice with Attitude CTS # EP21103
• I spoke to my contact at Edge on the Edge Juice with Attitude CTS, part # EP21103, and he said you do not need a boost probe for this product.
