I was just wondering like I had said before, that if by some form of electronic magic it could lower the rpms at hwy speeds. I am trying to improve the fuel eco for my truck. I know it is a truck and that she's built for towing power but with todays technology you would think the fuel eco would be a little better. I may look into replacing the gears, I originally bought my truck with the intent of buying a travel trailer for camping, so I thought I would need the extra umph when towing but the trailer plans have been thrown out the window.
Thanks again you guys, for all of your input's
Oops, I thought you already had an Edge and were seeing different rpms than stock, that is why I thought the tire size or gear ratio might have been entered wrong........my bad.

Do you still have factory tires? If you changed tire height, that would make your mileage reading incorrect unless the computer is corrected. That isone of the adjustments that can be made with the Edge, as indicated above.

Except for the K&N drop in filter...other than that I still have the original fx4 wheels and tires that came on it and only 7,800 miles on her.
