First, BEWARE of EBAY, the Edge Tuners have had problems in the past and if you get a bad one there is no telling what kind of service you will get. You may just get stuck with a bad tuner.

1. I've heard that use with modes 5-6 is not good with stock exhaust and transmission.....if this is the case, why?

No it is not good, the stock transmission can only handle up to about 90 hp over stock before it begins to slip and cause problems. I would also recommend sticking with either PPE, Quadzilla, or Banks Tuners for your truck.

2. How much can you tow / haul in modes 1-2? is it the same as the factory stock settings??

Yes, pretty much, it will help to improve your fuel mileage a little, but especially without upgrading your tranny I would not do any more than level 2-3 while towing.

My truck is stock with no engine, exhaust, or transmission mods. Any help is appreciated, please PM response or email at jeffrsm@tds.net

I would also suggest an Intake Mouthpiece Upgrade, EGR Blocker Plate, PCV Reroute, BD Full Bore Manifold, EGT and Boost Gauges, Diamond Eye Exhaust with a true 4 in down pipe, and Full Synthetic Fluids throughout if you would like to see your truck last a llifetime running happy. All Depending on your Budget of course.

Anything else I need to know about the tuner would be great as well.

Thanks!

I hope this is helpful!

God Bless!!!
