i run the edge evo with a dual exhaust and a afe stage 2 intake and the truck runs awesome with the tuner and no custom tunes but sin is correct there are some intakes that will lean out your truck due to its desighn thats why i chose the afe cos of the tube desighn and the maf sensor is pretty much not moved compared to stock so i never had any lean problems!
You should really get the tunes. As I said above..just because the truck does not ping or throw a code it does not mean there is not trouble.

Not to jump in and take over a thread but last time I took my truck in for service they said it was running lean due to my K&N air intake. Anyone one of you guys suggest a cold air intake that DOES NOT cause this issue?

to run an intake and run optimal, you need it to be tuned for such....can't add more air and no fuel, it's just science

"The AFE is one of the ones that leans it out pretty hard...but with the 06 its desgined to keep giving the truck as much timing as it can handle..so its not that big of a deal. Not suggested you run level 3 though. And the damage from running lean is on the inside. Your exhaust valve will be nice and white, your CATS will burn out earlier, etc. It will also be the difference on getting 150-200k out of the engine or 50-100."
sin why is it not good to run level 3? ive been on level 3 for some time now! pluss in the custom tune section i upped the timing asmuch as the manual reccomended with the 93 octane! but i have heard the reccomended level is in level 2 which is tow/haul mode

read thru your edge manual...if you understand it, then make your own customs tunes, however, don't take this the wrong way please....but if you gotta ask about a custom tune, i would not recommend "adjusting your settings" you can add too much fuel, retard the timing too much, make the trans shift erratic. if you still have the edge in the package, just my opinion here, send it back and get a custom tune. PHP or troyer are about 125 bucks more than the edge, however it will yeild you the most ponies....but i understand the whole wife/gift thing, sometimes they feel bad if you wanna return it, you know what i mean..

regardless you are still changing the settings of the canned tune, it a preloaded tune that you can change, but if you do mess with it and do it wrong, just set the edge back to stock and reinstall it
