welcome to db the best site on earthIn Cab Installation
1. Determine a good 12 volt circuit for use as a power source. Verify this circuit has power while starting and running and no power with the ignition off. NOTE: A good circuit is the number 17 fuse (10 AMP Cluster A) inside the fuse panel located on the left side of the instrument panel. Remove the fuse panel cover, the number 17 fuse and attach the supplied male space fuse connector onto the fuse. Reinstall the stock fuse with connector back into the fuse panel (this is a very tight fit).
2. Using the ½” wrench, loosen both negative battery cable clamp fasteners, remove cables from the battery posts and set each to the side. NOTE: DO NOT reconnect until installation is complete. Connecting power may cause fault code in the ECM, which only an authorized dealer can remove.
3. Using the Phillips screwdriver, remove the three screws from the bottom of the knee bolster. Pull the bottom back towards you until it pops loose, remove it and set aside. This gives better firewall access.
4. Routing the Supplied Main Wiring Harness. Cut a ¾” slit in the grommet. Automatics- easy access is the clutch hole grommet located to the left of the firewall brake hole. Manuals or Automatics- Use the large vehicle wiring harness grommet in the firewall. Fish the supplied harness through the slit from inside the cab out into the engine compartment. Leave about 18” of the supplied wiring harness inside of the cab (white 6-wire connector end plus the red wire.)
5. Route the supplied red wire up into the fuse panel. Connect the female spade to the made space fuse connector and reinstall the fuse panel cover.

6. Reinstall the knee bolster. Align clips on bolster to holes in lower panel and push. Insert and tighten the three screws in the bottom of the bolster.
MAP Sensor
7. Mount the Power Edge Comp to your preference. A good location is on the knee bolster – either side of the steering column. Use the two supplied Velcro strips.
MAP Connection
8. Connect the supplied MAP sensor wiring harness to the supplied main wiring harness in the engine compartment. Disconnect the stock wiring harness at the boost sensor
located to the rear of the fuel filter housing near the top of and on the engine block. Plug the supplied MAP sensor connector into the stock engine boost sensor and the stock engine wiring harness connector into the supplied MAP sensor connector. The MAP sensor shown in the image is for a 2001, the 1998.5-2000 are a different sensor but in the same location.
Injection Pump Wire ConnectionInjection Connection
9. Using the 13 mm socket, remove the three bolts securing the throttle bracket assembly on top of the Fuel Injection pump. Move it towards the driver’s side battery.
10. Using the 10 mm socket, remove the four bolts securing the air intake and the bolt securing the oil dipstick tube. Using the 7/16” socket, loosen the clamp and rotate the air intake assembly counterclockwise to expose the Fuel Injection Pump stock wiring harness. Pump Wire
11. The stock wiring harness is located by following it from the center of the six fuel supply tubes up to the top rear of the pump. The upper two wires- slide the protective covering downward to expose these wires. Install the supplied pin connector lower half with trough onto the wire closest to the engine block, this is the top inner wire. Hold the wire in this trough while installing the upper half of the pin connector onto the lower half. Using the pliers, squeeze the two halves together fully. NOTE: Important-while the connector halves are being seated together the wire is not to be rotated. The stock wiring harness that plugs into the injection pump may be removed for better access to the wire. Connect the supplied gray wire to the supplied pin connector wire.
12. Reinstall the air intake assembly onto the intake manifold using the four bolts. Install the ring connector on the supplied black ground wire onto one of these bolts – preferably the bolt with the large ground wire already attached to it. Using the torque wrench and 10mm socket, torque these bolts to 18 lb./ft. Install and tighten the oil dipstick tube retaining bolt and tighten.
13. Reinstall the throttle bracket onto the fuel injection pump using the three bolts. Using the torque wrench and 13mm socket, torque these bolts to 18 lb./ft.

Data Link Connection
14. The Data Link connector is located in different locations based on the year of the truck:
- 98.5-99 the triangle shaped connector is located on the drivers side of the engine in the wiring harness near the power steering pump
- 2000-2001 the three prong flat connector is located on top of the fuel lift pump that is located on the driver’s side of the engine directly below the MAP sensor, note: on some 2001 truck’s the connector is located on the drivers side of the engine in the wiring harness near the power steering pump MAP Sensor& 2000-2001Data Link1998.5-1999 DataLink
15. A plug is installed in the data link connector on the truck to resist corrosion, remove this and install the supplied connector.
Boost Elbow Installation
16. Using the 5/16” socket, loosen the two clamps securing the air induction hose to the air filter housing and the turbo inlet. Remove the hose and set it aside.
17. Using the pliers, remove the crimp style clamp from the hose on the brass fitting located on the now exposed lower front side of the turbocharger. Remove the hose from the brass fitting and dispose of the crimp style clamp.
18. Using the 7/16” wrench, unscrew the stock brass fitting out of the turbocharger housing. Using the 7/16” wrench, install the supplied brass fitting, tighten-be careful not to over-tighten. Slip the supplied hose clamp onto the stock hose, install the stock hose onto the supplied brass fitting and tighten the hose clamp with the ¼” socket. Reinstall the stock air hose onto the air filter housing and turbocharger inlet. Using the 5/16” socket, tighten both clamps securely.
Final Inspection and Operation
19. Recheck all connections, fittings and fasteners for a properly secure installation.
20. Using the supplied wire ties, secure the wiring harness from possible damage.
21. Reconnect both negative battery cables onto the battery posts. Using the ½” wrench, tighten both fasteners securing the cable clamps to the battery posts.

22. Turn the ignition key on. DO NOT START THE ENGINE! The LED on the Power Edge Comp should light when powered up.
23. With the ignition key on, check for the LED on the module. If the LED is not on, push the gray round button to turn the module on. If the LED is still not on, check for proper connections – ground and 12 volt power. Do not proceed if the LED does not work as desirable. If the check engine light appears, proper connections have not been made to the MAP sensor.
24. If module does not function as described in Step 23 turn ignition key to the off position and disconnect both battery ground cables. Check all connections – pull apart and inspect for bent or broken male. Inspect all stock and supplied connectors thoroughly. If all connectors are good, reconnect insuring each seats tightly. Reconnect battery cables to the battery posts. Repeat steps 22 and 23. If the problem still exists please call the dealer where purchased for technical assistance.
25. To adjust power levels 1-5 on the Power Edge Module push the corresponding arrow buttons, left arrow will decrease level and right arrow will increase power level. The levels can be adjusted while the engine is running.
26. Each power level on the Power Edge Comp has a submenu that allows the user to tune in the low boost fueling to eliminate excess smoke. To access the submenu:
a. Be in the power level that you what to adjust the low boost fueling for
b. Press and hold the round gray button (power button) for about 2 seconds, release button
c. The LED’s will be flashing when in the submenu
d. Use the left and right arrows to adjust the levels 1-5
e. When 1 LED is lit this results in the least responsive setting or lowest smoke, all 5 LED’s lit is the most responsive
f. Each power level can store a unique submenu setting
g. When accessing the submenu for the first time the LED’s may appear erratically lit, use the right arrow key to light all LED’s then set to desired level.
27. If the Power Edge Comp does not function as described above, please call the dealer where purchased.
Power Gains
The following power gains are representative of an actual test vehicle. Power gains may vary somewhat on a different vehicle or in different geographic settings.
