No mods, nor do I think, it a good idea to do so, as mods can nullify your warranty.
I do have the Edge Monitor, which is okay, as it doesn't mod the settings on the truck. It has proven to be a great tool. You can see when the REGEN occurs, reducing the risk of frying some parts, if you shut it off during REGEN (1250 F). Otherwise, you need to idle a few minutes, before shutting off, as their is no indication of REGEN, unless you hit over 80 percent filter full. REGEN in city driving occurs every 90KM or so, and even more often when cold, winter time, especially if no winter covers used. On the highway, it can vary from 200 KM to 600 KM.
You will probably experience more error codes on account of REGEN overheating. Check Engine light seems to be common, due to warp parts/sensors. Often because of REGEN overheating on shutting off engine. The monitor reduces it, I think. Always get the error code. It only happen once with me, before I got my EDGE and they did replace a warp piece. I got my Edge at about 7,000 KM.
Last summer, when towing, in the rockies, I can hit momentarily 1500 F on EGT1 and EGT2. When that happen I back off, as I'm still trying to figure out if that is normal or okay. It doesn't seem normal, too close to metal down temperatures. I have an alarm set, when that happens. FCA just won't tell me or pass me on to engineers to confirm. By their silence, I suspect it not good.
Some nuisance codes can occur or just a momentary error (during cold/ moist/ truck wash conditions can result in poor connections to sensors.). The Edge can view, get info on the error and clear it, if necessary. Saving a trip to dealer. I only had one occasion, which is in one of the other threads, not an issue.
I also monitor and have alerts alarm set for oil temperature and coolant temperature. Very important if you have winter covers fully closed and weather not too cold. Save you from boiling coolant or hot oil, etc. So far, no issues, all is well and it sure runs nice. See my signatures as to what I have on the truck.
In light of some reporting issue with coolant/oil contamination and other engine failures. I have been testing my oil just before changing it with AGAT Labs in Calgary. See the other forum for results on that test. Apparently, some people had regular oil used for cummins diesel (15w40) by the dealer, which is a very no no. Too thick for winter startup/oil starvation and bad on the Cat system.
Use Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 oil only, however, I believe their are now two other brands that have the same specs. Unless you are sure, stick to what the manual says. I had Agat Lab test a new can of that oil, so I know what additives are in it, as you can't really know how good your oil is without that comparison. Don't assume the dealer know which oil to use. Always confirm and ask for the empties as proof.
I recommend you do the same, if you have a concern. I go to the lab site, they give me a bottle and pump and take a sample from the dip stick area and give it to them. Pay and in a day or so you get an excellent detail report. See mine on the Oil Testing forum on this site.
If may prove to be beneficial, when time comes to sell/trade the truck, as you can provide a detail report of your engine with these accumulated oil testing results. Peace of mind now and to the new owner.
I also can recommend, that if you have been using regular, cheapest diesel, to fill up twice or more, with the Shell V-Power diesel. By the time, I was finishing my second tank, it suddenly improved. Smoother, quieter, peppier performance, not sluggish when cold, no hesitation in take offs. It may also have improve the fuel economy, but too soon to determine by how much. I was at 17,000 KM when I switched. Now I'm hitting 22,000 KM. I'm on my sixth tank of Shell V-Power. See Shell site, as to their claims.
Head up, it illegal in Alberta to drive a truck with out Mud flaps. Some occasionally get a ticket. I pick up Mopar set for 149.00 at Airdrie dealer. My truck came with 20 inch tires, which I replace with KO2. Proving to be far superior than what came with the truck.
All is well, I soon be going for my third oil change in another 1K or 2K KM.
