I just recently picked up a used Edge EZ box. The jumper configuration in the box wasn't shown in the manual, but i've heard that some boxes could be sent back for a "secret" 5th level setting.

Can anyone confirm if there is a 5th level setting - and also does anyone know the jumper setup for the level 5?

 

Never heard that before.

 

Actually, depending on which one you have, there is a 5th and 6th setting.

There are two more levels on the EZ that haven't been made known and are going to be removed in future units. By default, they are supposed to be set to level 3 (it says 2 in the manual, though).

Level 5 (the way mine came) is on jumper on the left-most pin on the right side. Level 6 is the middle and left pin on the right-hand side. According to Edge, they are good for the following:

1 - 30 HP
2 - 45 HP
3 - 60 HP
4 - 70 HP, 200 ft. lbs.
5 - 75 HP, 220 ft. lbs.
6 - 80 HP, 240 - 250 ft. lbs.

Here's some more:
EZ settings:
Level 1 XX: :::
level 2 X:: ::X
level 3 X:: :X:
Level 4 ::: :XX

secret level
Level 5 ::: X::

older boxes
Level 6 ::: XX:

Be warned about running at the higher levels. Really pushes the rail pressure up there at the limit. Will decrease the life of the injectors and the pressure relief valve.
Just got mine installed and running at level 2.

I ran my EZ on level 5 for a couple months and the power was nice but I blew the pressure relief valve gasket. It was only a $2.00 part so no big deal though....

 

Thanks for the response 043500QC! Looks like my box was on setting #5.

 

BTW, did anyone have a tough time getting the factory fuel pressure sensor to plug into the gray EZ connector correctly? I kept getting a P0193 fuel pressure high error and the engine rattled badly. Figured out that the factory connector was going in skewed and not mating with the pins. Finally got it in straight but couldn't get it to latch. At least the engine doesn't rattle and after a few more restarts the P0193 code should go away.

No problems installing mine - took less than 5mins.
You didn't try to plug in the connector the wrong way did you?

 

No problem plugging mine in either, other than the tightness of a weatherpak connector anyway. I`ve had a P0633 and P0602 code since the day I put the BDPP on mine though. I didn`t get any more codes after I put the EZ on. I run my EZ on level 2 and the BDPP on Perf. I tried the EZ on 5, 4, and 3, and finally 2. Where I`m running right now seems to be the best combo for my truck power and mileage wise.

 

I made sure the connector was indexed correctly before installing. Just had a hard time getting a connection. Talked to the original owner of the EZ box and he had the same problem. Said it's a real tight fitting connector.
So far it's working great.

I have seen a few guys put the jumpers on the wrong side. The not used side has one pin cut off. (at least on mine) Make sure the box is turned right while setting the jumpers.

 

Yep, the left hand side connectors are for holding the spare jumpers.

So far I'm impressed with the performance at level 2 and the 2 degrees of addition timing. 6th gear rollons will pin you to the seat. Can't imagine what level 4 would be like.

BTW, you can add external switches and make the EZ adjustable from inside the cab.

I thought about doing this - since the power of level 5 is great - but the fuel economy of level 2 is FAR better.

 

There is a reason levels 5 & 6 were removed.
