Question

called edge they are teling me that the product is working fine but since the truck is 10 yrs old and has 200k miles on it,it wont work their suggestion return it to point of purchase (extreme diesel) and use the edgeEZ I bought this particular product for the diagnostic feature as well as the added features.You would think that some where someone would state that if your vehicle is x amnt of yrs old or has x amnt of milage this product is not recommened. HERE IS A QUESTION IS THERE ANYTHING LEFT FOR ME TO DO OTHER THAN RETURN THIS PRODUCT? CAN THIS ONE BE FIXED OR REPROGRAMMED TO WORK?

The problem may be similar to what we see a lot with the 95-97 trucks. The PCM gets "tired" and certain internal aspects of it don't play nice with eachother.

See this post:

I wouldn't suggest the Edge EZ because it IS NOT a programmer or tuner. It simply fools the injection control pressure input to the PCM. I would certainly try keeping the programmer.

You can try shopping around for a used PCM out of a similar truck. I have bought half a dozen off of ebay in the last year for less than $80 each.
