Can Edge CTS3 Programmer be Used while Towing and Give Additional Fuel Mileage
Question:
I have a 2000 Ford F-250 7.3 turbo with a edge evolution cts programmer what kind of fuel mileage should I expect pulling a 4000 pound cargo trailer to Colorado . And can I run it on the extreme level as long as I don’t push it

Expert Reply:
With the Edge Diesel Evolution CTS3 Performance Tuner # EP96TR installed on your truck when towing you'd most likely see around 2 more miles per gallon but it's really pretty hard to say. You also can use it on the highest power level too. Just don't push it hard or try to drag race anybody with your trailer connected. The higher settings will give you the best mileage too since the engine runs the most efficiently.
Edge states that if you tow with a higher tune setting you have to use the EGT monitor guage with it, part # EP98620.
