Power Levels
Power level 1 is specifically designed to maximize fuel economy improvements. We
recommend level 1 or level 2 for towing applications. Use level 2 if you are towing a light
load.
WARNING Do not exceed your vehicle's max GVWR as outlined in the vehicle's
owner's manual. Doing so may result in loss of vehicle control and cause bodily injury.
The remaining power levels are designed to match fueling with any additional upgrades you
may have done to your vehicle. Level 3 is as far as you should go on a stock truck and
should never be used while towing.
Level 3 is designed to take advantage of the built-in safety margins the manufacture needs
to add in order to make sure your vehicle can perform at its maximum capacity. When
driven responsibly, and used with an EGT gauge or the Attitude monitor, level 3 will not
stress the stock engine or transmission as long as you are not towing.
Levels 4 and higher are performance and race levels and are designed to be used with
upgraded drive trains. If you have modified your injectors, upgraded the transmission,
changed turbos or performed other similar enhancements, levels 4 and higher will match
fueling to the additional performance created by these upgrades.
Caution: On a stock truck, the additional power may overstress the engine and
transmission while driving in power levels 4 or higher, or at any level if you drive too hard.
We recommend that you only use level 1 or 2 while towing to keep EGT temperatures lower
and reduce transmission stress.
Power Level HP and Torque Gains
When power gains are noted, they are representative of an actual vehicle test. These gains
were measured on a Super Flow Dyno at an altitude of 4400 ft above sea level, and
represent power delivered to the rear wheels of the test truck. The only modification made
to the test vehicle was the addition of the Edge Power Juice module. Power gains may vary
somewhat on a different vehicle or in different geographic settings.
WARNING Do not "stack" non-Edge recommended modules to gain more
horsepower. They could be incompatible and result in powertrain failure or create
dangerous conditions leading to a serious or fatal accident.
EGTs: What they mean and why
EGT stands for exhaust gas temperature, and is the single most important indicator of how a
diesel engine is performing. Unlike a gasoline motor, a diesel motor will continue to make
power as more fuel is added. As more fuel is added, heat will be generated until the motor
just gets too hot and things start to melt. This is a situation you want to avoid. Exhaust gas
temperature is the ideal measurement of how hot the motor is, since temperature
fluctuations in exhaust gas are almost instantaneous. It is possible to generate excessive
EGT on a stock truck, particularly if you are towing. This is why we always recommend
