already sent him a message...if that's true I'll order tomorrow...just always thought that only applied to 4th gen without a separate TCM

Yep, we can tune a 07.5-09 TCM with the MM3 now. So no need for guys to have their TCM benched flashed or buy a tuned TCM.

This is my problem with the EZ Lynk. My background is in IT & Cybersecurity and I currently work for a global backbone network provider & every time I see this I want to cringe. The main reason being that I cannot find any mention of security measures for the AutoAgent cloud. You need to remember that all the cloud is, is someone else's computer. My concern is that a vulnerability in the AutoAgent cloud could give a threat actor a direct line of communication with your vehicle.
Let's not forget the fact that a team of professional hackers already was able to hack into a Jeep Grand Cherokee, while it was driving on the highway, and take over full control of the vehicle. Adding a 3rd party Cloud based connection device into your CANBUS system seems like asking for someone to get into your electronics. I don't doubt that EZ Lynk has developed security protocols to secure the connection between the cloud and the device, but it seems risky nonetheless.
Bingo!
You'd don't want to know what we heard about them.
Oh no, I would love to know LOL
Very informative thread!
Thank you!

Great thread Ray @DRD!
Thank you, and all who chimed in with added info and opinions.
I just hope my Mini Maxx doesn't loose it's mind before next spring, then it'll be time to upgrade to the MM3 and Ray's tuning!
I sent him a PM last Saturday evening, not expecting a response 'till today, but he was on top of my questions within half an hour, and this was late evening.
Impressive in this day and age!
looks like the thread has slowed down in the past few months but i adding my experience helps at least one person then its all good
My first CTD was a 90 W250 auto (the old 727) back in the days of no intercooler and 160hp stock. Since it was a mechanical pump a friend who knew what he was turned it up to 280 hp for a 6 pack. Those were the days.
My second CTD was a 2001 2500 QCLB 5 spd manual. I towed a travel trailer a lot, wanted more mpg and simplicity so I straight piped it, modded the factory air filter housing and went with the Edge EZ. That turned the truck up to 330 hp from 235 and I was getting 25 mpg empty, 16 mg towing. I had to sell it for financial reasons, I still kick myself for selling it and miss it every day.
Now my current 2018 Laramie CCSB Aisin when I started my research I looked at Edge first since I had a prior good experience. The install was horrendous and it did not offer deletes. So I checked out a few trucks my friends own in the area. One had the H&S and the other had the RaceMe, not from DRD. The H&S was cheaper but only offered canned tunes. The RaceMe was nice and pointed me in the direction of the newer SOTF options with custom tuning. This was all before I found these forums. I watched several delete videos to see what I was in for and one in particular showed how the MM3 worked. That sold me on the MM3 as a tuner. It has the ability to do custom tunes and SOTF or the ability to program and removed completely if I wanted. So then it was a matter of finding a tuner. This took me months of scouring forum after forum after video. I had decided on a deal that was a good price but was hesitant to pull the trigger as I want to keep this truck a long time and they are very expensive and not getting any cheaper. I found a great deal on a closeout 2018 knowing this would be it for a long time unless I wanted a divorce (LOL). That is when I found these forums and the first thing that impressed me was the amount of good advice and like minded people I found here. A vast majority of them are loyal to DRD so I checked into it. I learned the previous deal I found was from someone well known to use other people's tunes and after seeing what Ray offered I knew this was the right person to tune my truck via mm3.
So after extensive research the MM3 was the tuner that fit my needs and I feel is the better tuner at least for the Gen4 but that is what the research is all about. DRD happened to offer what I wanted so it was a win-win in my book. FYI I have finished with my 2018 and my friend with the H&S likes the way mine runs compared to his and he is seriously considering switching over.
