Default Just Totaled My 12 Valve

hey guys i just totaled my old 12 valve last night. i'm lookin to buy a common rail and was just wondering what kind of problems are common with them and how much any issues would cost to fix. i was also wondering what upgrades would be best to get to start with.

You made it out ok, I hope. Despite maybe a few bumps and bruises? I guess as far as upgrades is what do you want to do? If a daily driver, tow a little, I'd go w/ an Edge Juice w/ Attitude. The Attitude displays up to 4 parameters at a time, including boost, egt's, and transmission temp.

You could also go with Mechanical Gauges and get the Smarty Programmer. If you want adjust on the fly then Edge with Attitude or save a few back and get the Quadzilla with Commander.

yeah i got out with just a couple bruises. trucks completly gone though hit a cow at about 70 mph. nothin left of the front end of the truck. hopin to buy it back from insurance so i can get some of the good stuff off of it for my dads 12 valve. any way about how much does the edge run and how much extra hp and torque could i excpect to get out of it

Has 6 levels, though level 6 costs $100 to unlock. Power depends on truck year. but ranges from 30-170hp and 60-400 lb/ft of torque. Cost ranges from $775-$1000, depending where you buy it from.
