Programmer Recommendation for 2008 Dodge Ram Cummins with EGT Monitor
Updated 05/30/2017 | Published 05/28/2017
Question:
Thinking about a tuner for a STOCK 2008 Dodge Ram with 6.7 Cummins diesel with auto trans. Its a 2500 4x4 crew cab. I pull a 35 foot 5th wheel at 12,000 lbs. Not looking to race here. Just looking to pull through the mountains a little better, if possible. I would like a tuner with the following feathers. An economy mode,when not towing and a tow mode. With at least 50 -75 HP gain, that wont take out my transmission when driven easy with some common sense. I also would like easy of install, like just update from internet with a laptop then just plug into ODB2 no other hooks ups if possible. I would like to monitor the following, gear I am in, real time mileage. EGT temp if possible, trans temp, eng temp. with a nice readable display for an old guy. Is all that possible for under $700? As always I have been a big fan of etrailer and the customer service you folks provide. Thanks

The programmer/monitor you would want for your 2008 Dodge Ram with a 6.7 Cummins is the Edge Juice with Attitude CTS2 Performance Tuner # EP31505 which is a confirmed fit. It has a towing and economy mode, gives you the ability to monitor all the things you mentioned, and since it comes with an EGT probe it can monitor that as well.
It has a driving coach as well that can allow you to view how your driving habits affect your fuel mileage too.
