Military man needs help! Upgrading 24V
I got a 1998.5 Dodge cummins 2500. New to the diesel world and I love my truck and want to upgrade a little. I got a couple extra bucks in the bank seeing as im deployed right now. Wandering what would be the best thing to do to my rig. I want to upgrade for better gas mileage. I was told get the edge juice chip. Wanted to see what everyone else thinks. I am willing to spend about 2 grand for this.

well id say if your gonna chip it, get an airdog or FASS lift pump, otherwise you'll run your injection pump dry and be out another $1000, then ya the juice is a good chip but alot of guys are running the adrenaline from quad and are liking it alot. Then you either need to run the attitude monitor with the edge or the pulse monitor from quadzilla, or get regular guages to keep an eye on stuff

Gauges are a must if your going to upgrade your truck. I recommend Boost, EGT and Fuel Pressure. Then you need to upgrade your fuel system (Fass or Airdog). If you looking for a good mileage combo try an Edge EZ and some of our 40hp Fireball Injectors. A good 4" exhaust and intake will also help with mileage and help keep your exhaust gas temps down to a safe level. If you have any questions feel free to give me a shout or send me a PM.

what trans do you have? Thats going to be next on the needs help list one way or another. I would go edge juice with attitude and fass 150 first, then a 4" turbo back exhaust and s&b cold air intake. Also another great mileage booster is AMSOIL synthetics in everything that needs lubed. I did my diffs and almost 1mpg gain there by the time I did diffs and motor 1.5 mpg solid gain.
