An edge juice with attitude would be a good one.

Are you happy with it? I had that way back in the day on my 99. Solid chip no need to update based off of age.

Its an auto. Ive been looking at edge products and im liking them, especially since i have an Iphone that i can hook it up too. And since ive never owned a diesel before, im not sure what would happen if took it off or how much HP/TQ i would get if i added/or replaced it.

First step is to build the tranny. ANY extra power over stock (even stock power) Will kill these weak "" Trannys

Now when you say build, do you mean VB and TQ converter or a full on aftermarket rebuild?
