hey guys i have a 2001 ho with a 6 speed with almost 300,000 on it. i want to get a programmer for it. dont use it every day for towing just lookin to get a little bit more out of it. i have heard horror stories about them makin the cluch slip even on low levels and what not. will getting one be safe for the ol girl? if so, which one is the best?

 

None are "safe" all will put added strain on stock parts. Edge milage max or ez if your looking for modest increase and some mpg's

 

Ran an Edge EZ on my 01 and the throttle response was insane. That was only on level 1.

With that many miles, I'd upgrade the lift pump, and possibly the VP (if it hasn't been replaced recently) before I'd do a programmer.

 

ok thanks. guy i work with has an edge ez on his 99 auto and he told me that it really didnt do much. he told me to get an edge juice with attitude. i just dont know how much i wanna chance pushin somethin to the max with 300k on it.

 

Edge juice will eat a clutch or auto tranny alive if miss used... But if your worried about the motor Having 300k and issues with more power don't be. Be worried about wear items such as the clutch and lift pump trying to keep up with the new demand in fuel consumption. A good south bend clutch and AirDog 100 and a edge juice would make a great runner.

 

ok i have a fass lift pump for it just havent thrown it on yet. if i didnt wanna screw around your sayin i should get the ez but if i wanted to drop like 1500 bucks then to get the juice? how much can you turn the juice up before i run into problems with the truck even if i put the clutch ect. on there?

 

SMARTY! I love mine

 

Put the fass on regardless but it's very safe even on high with normal daily driving. But with the juice u have the option to choose your power level needed from economy, tow, performance and race. But it's safe, just keep the egts in check and you'll be happy.

 

I JUST PUT A COMP BOX WITH THE HOT UNLOCKED ON MY 2000 DROVE ONE MILE THE CLUTCH WHEN OUT NOW PUTTING IN A SOUTH BEND DD BUT LOVED THE BOX AND FOR THE 1ST SETTING ON THE BOX IT IS LIKE A EZ AND IT DOE'S MAKE A DIFF. DID HAVE A POWER PUCK ON THE TRUCK AND THE COMP. SET LIKE A EZ IS MUCH BETTER

GO WITH A EZ OR COMP BUT DON'T GET THE HOT UNLOCKED DON'T NEED IT

 

easy on the caps lock bud
