Can i get my 2004.5 reflashes and still use my edge?
I have a 2004.5 . If I get my ecm reflashed with latest cummins/dodge software can I still use my edge juice which is for a 2004.5 ram diesel? Reason being is I heard you can get a reflash which makes the 2004.5 and the 2005 like a 2006 5.9. get what i mean? will i need a edge juice for a 2006 then?
also can they reflash ecm with my edge hooked up? be better to unplug it i guess?

I haven't heard about this flash making 04.5/05's like the 06. But in any case I would definitely disconnect the module prior to taking the rig into the dealer. You could call Edge to find out about the flash stuff. Post up your findings.

Be careful about getting the Didge flash. The newest flash for your truck will include the Backup and Beep the horn (Safety feature). I am sure this is not an option you would like.
Why are you getting a Flash update from Dodge?
What exactly do you think/expect that will be fixed or added feature?
Have someone you kow load a Smarty catcher and then return you to stock and you will have the latest Dodge firmware for your truck.

I have read to many posts about users going in for one thing and coming out with the dreaded Honky... I don't think it is an easy thing to turn off once on.
Never had my ECM updated and never will. Never had the truck to a dealer...

Guys I use hate the horn honking stuff also. They knew exactly how to steer clear from it. Good news for me. I wanted the cruise high idle so I had them do the flash. All is well.

i adjusted high idle with my schools expensive DRb tool. i adjusted tire size with my edge. My dealer can reflash IF I WANT for $100. doesnt pay to buy a smarty. i dont want POWER i want fuel mileage. a lil added power for pulling wouldnt be bad. The edge gives me a #2 setting for towing.
