Edge Products, LLC GM LB7 EZ Manual Power Gains The following power gains are representative of an actual test vehicle. These gains were measured on a SuperFlow Dyno at an altitude of 4400 ft above sea level, and represent power delivered to the rear wheels of the test truck. The only modification made to the test truck was the addition of the Power Edge EZ module. Power gains may vary somewhat on a different vehicle or in different geographic settings.
GM LB7 EZ Manual Edge Products, LLC Making Sense of it All This section is designed to help you understand how the additional power will change your driving experience as well as help you figure out what power level will best suit your driving style. The first thing you will probably notice, especially if this is your first time driving a diesel truck with a performance module, is that this is a whole different animal.
Edge Products, LLC GM LB7 EZ Manual The EZ Module and your Transmission The automatic transmission has a fluid-filled clutch-like device called a torque converter. This device uses the spinning motion of the motor to drive the transmission which drives your wheels. As the truck speed stabilizes, the torque converter engages a mechanical connection which locks the two halves of the torque converter, so the output shaft is going the same speed as the input shaft.
GM LB7 EZ Manual Edge Products, LLC Transmission The Allison transmission is a “Smart” transmission. That means that it pays attention to how smoothly the transmission is changing gears, and modifies the shifting to improve drivability. When the motor delivers more power (by adding the EZ module), the transmission has to ‘re-learn’ how to shift. After first installing the EZ module, you may notice rough shifting.
