I replaced the fuel filter today and drove it on straight RMO. Not only did it run strong (I mean STRONG !) it didn't flatten out about 45. I easily got it up to about 75, still pulling strong, like a bull.

What I noticed, tho, was that not only was the boost up, like easily over 20 and sometimes over 25, the EGT climbed VERY QUICKLY to 1200, when it normally ran 1000 max with diesel and cruised the freeway at around 700. That concerns me, since I keep hearing fellas say to keep the temp down and get out of it when the temps climb. I suspect that when I start pulling a load, it will run really hot with me not having any way to back it down, other than switch back to diesel.

I also don't know what program the EDGE Programmer is set for. I'll have to check that and post.
