Surging at level 6 with edge hot juice
I just installed a set of gauges to watch my lift pressure (post filter) and rail pressure. At idle I have 15PSI lift and 7000psi rail. if I am cruising and bump it to HOT and ease into the throttle, rail pressure drops to 5k before trying to climb back up. Once I get to 80mph and start winding out, the truck starts bucking like a bronco, and I can see my rail pressure jumping all over the place between 10k and 17k. Could my CP3 be shot? Maybe the FCA? Lift pressure during the bucking is around 12PSI.

Yup.. Same deal. I really suspect my CP3. When it's bucking, lift pressure never dips below 10PSI. Rail pressure bounces wildly between 10-15Kpsi.
I need to find somebody in the dallas area that has an edge hot juice that I can swap in and do a couple runs. That way I can eliminate the edge as the problem.

I would guess that your killing your LP. I can drain mine on an open road on level 4 let alone on 6. Is there any popping noise during the run? I dont think you have enough fueling to drain the rail

Let me ask this question, At what pressure do you call the rail "drained"? The truck idles at 6-7k...

The rail pressure can go as high as the mid 20's at WOT anything much less then 20k will have fuel shortage issues.
It could also be defueling due to EGT or one of the other protection modes. Are you sure it is not that?

I dont think you have enough fueling mods to completely drain the rail.. My guess the surge you feel is a combination of the stock T/C and the stock LP pump not being able to keep up with the fueling request

The lowest I have seen LP is 5psi. Is that too low?
