Sorry if this is the wrong spot to post this.
Well im very new with the whole truck modding and stuff and one of the first things I just bought for my 02 was the Edge. Anyways im hoping that I didnt blow 600 bucks and buy some 600 dollar peice of crap. Iv got a giaint Air intake and filter and im thinknig about straight piping and removng the muffler until I buy an Exhust. Whats your take on all that.

Also,
With a stock tranny what do u think the minimun amount of time I should run it on the 5th leval,most of the time for driving I will have it in 2,so my tranny wont fall out from underneath me to fast!

Thanks!

 

the edge is a good box. i wouldn't even run it on 5 with a stock tranny. i wouldn't go above 3 unless you put a good tc in

 

Everyone likes to hotrod every once in a while, what's the longest time I can safely run it at 5,if I'm going maybe 30 mph?


Thanks

 

every once in a while wouldent hurt

 

anything over 70hp will slowly hurt the trans over time

 

What kind of tranny upgrades do you recomend?

 

i know a guy locally that owns a 08 D-max and hes pushing 800 on the ground. he only has shift kit, and a custom made torqe converter. its been holding up fine for him.

 

I don't believe it. Let's see the Dyno sheet! Or did he just add up all the claims of the HP the stuff he put on his truck?

 

his name is brian wall, he owns walls rod and custom, and he has a dyno at his shop.

 

hmmm....

Shift kit would most likely help. Ill pick one of those up maybe.
