Nope: It's pretty much plug in and not worry about it. I put one in my 02 without any other mods and it made it way more enjoyable to drive. Mine was an automatic and it cut shifting around town on hills and such in half. Just more torque and less foot down on the pedal. If you plan on doing other mods it's probably not the right choice but if you just want it a little better it will work great. It was a long time ago so I can't remember if fuel mileage improved but I imagine it did.

I ran an Edge EZ on my 99 truck back in the early 2000s. It was a nice upgrade, I had gauges on mine(Boost and EGT) and it would never get hot with just the EZ. My Truck was a QC SB and it ran like a 16.20 the one time I raced it with the EZ on it which I didn't think was bad and people thought that was fast for a diesel back then lol.
If I had another one of those trucks I would put an EZ and a set of 275HP injectors in and call it good. That would produce good safe reliable power with little to no smoke.

It was a basic mod for taking full advantage of the stock setup. No way to update. I used it mainly in the Mileage and Tow modes. I now have an 07 5.9 and running the same box. Again, I use the Milage/Tow modes. With 275000 miles it’s held up well. I’m now looking at some preventative things on the truck. New turbo, injectors etc. The shop that will do the work recommends an upgraded Edge which is updateable. Edge will also give me some credit back on my old setup.

Thanks for the replies . . . my truck is all stock, Quad Cab, shortbox, 6spd manual. I have 73k miles on it now (I bought it new) . . . I have added fuel pressure gauge, changed to the FAST replacement lift pump and replaced the injector pump already . . . just did a 1600mile trip towing my travel trailer across the Canadian Rocky mountains . . .for most part I am pleased how it tows . . .just would be nice to have a bit more "oomph" on the hills, or if need to pass. . . How much pressure does that lift pump put out? My buddy had an EZ on his 98.5 and it worked really well. Pulling a 34 foot 5th wheel camper it would do 16-17 mpg Canadian and on I81 from Canada to Carlisle PA, lay waste to anything 6L Powerjoke or Durasmash that was new at the time and burn less fuel doing it.

I think the FAST lift pump is similar to the stock lift pump, in regards to pressure . . .HOWEVER, the FAST unit is more robust and will last . . . my pressure gauge is 15psi on max side, and I have seen the needle pegged over 15psi . . . when I was pulling hard up the mountains (5th gear, 2100rpm, 55mph) towing the trailer, it was down to 11psi . . .

I run an edge comp, set it on level 5 and leave it there, towing and so on. It's night and day when it's turned off. I also have 100hp injectors, so it will roll coal if you lug it. I thought it ran great til I picked up a 6.7 cummins which makes the 01 feel slow now

If yours is an 02 I would get this one. Their Powermax stuff is awesome and you have full adjustability and control from the cab. Look at the torque and hp chart. You won't spend a better $900 in your life. Beware auto trans. users, you're gonna need an upgrade with this stuff turned up.
