PM one of the vendors above, they will set you up. I dont believe it comes with the pyro probe, but I think it comes with the bracket. I have only installed one and it was about 18 months ago...

I ran the Edge system on my 04. I had it in 2 for the longest time, but I was on a drive from Oregon to So Cal. I decided to play with it. The truck got 12 mpg with it selected at 2. I then put it in 5. It ran so much better and the gas mileage went up to 15 (still not great)

I was told not to run the edge in number 5 because it could blow up your motor. Why have it in the first place then?

Any tuner can do that... the higher HP you run it the more likely it will happen.

i think the mounting brackets are extra and the pyro probe is standard

Get an SCT with custom tunes. I wouldnt recomend the livewire, people seem to have problems with them, just what ive heard, i like my xcal3 with custom TSD tunes.

Thanks , I recently got a live wire though . I wanted it for the gauges . I'm still waiting for the pyrometer and mount to come in . Also once I get my computer to recognize the tuner I'm planning on getting in touch with Eric @ innovative for some custom tunes . I did put the 50 HP canned tune in , it made a big difference pulling my trailers . I'm excited to see what the custom tunes will do .

Eric writes some good tunes, although i dont run his anymore, i still like them. I was gonna get the live wire for gauges also, but was turned away from it. Your gonna enjoy it.

So the SCT Livewire is a good choice right? Will it fry my tranny?
