Had an edge programmer on my old f150, worked fine for a while. One day when I was trying to change the tune it froze, locked up the whole truck. Had to contact edge support Monday am to have them send me some files to reset the tuner. I was able to get the truck back to stock, but after trying to upload a tune again it did the same thing all over again.

I was sick of it at that point and ended up selling the tuner.

I was thinking of getting one with back-up camera compatibility eventually, but I'm unsure of how good they are.

Canned tunes will do nothing for you, If your going to invest some money in a tune look at BlackBear. You will see way better results and much increased drive ability out of your truck. Lots of people on her also use Diablew tunes! A little more money but you get so much more out of it.

I have an edge cts2 tuner on my 2015 Silverado 5.3l high country. It is nice for monitoring everything and definetely looks good in the truck, but the touch screen is a pain in the ass to work on the fly. The street tune is nice, but the transmission shifts are extremely hard to the point that it feels hurtful on the poor thing :(

 

The edge tuners don't have very many options when making a "custom" tune. You can't customise your transmission shifts, it doesn't have a high idle mode.

 

Long story short, it's a nice tuner visually and for monitoring, but performance wise there isn't very much freedom to change anything and for the $800 that I spent I don't feel that is satisfied me on the performance side of things.

I had an Edge Evolution in my 04' F150, I liked it for monitoring and it had a decent canned tune, but anymore I think custom is the way to go.

Perfect answer I was looking for. Guess I'll stick with my original plan and go custom. Thanks.

Almost went this route. Decided on Diablo instead. In 2 weeks my truck goes through a transformation then I will be going Diablew!

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.

      Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.

      PPE Transmission Pan Install

      By GMC4Zee · Posted

      With this new pan, do you still use the same procedure to check the level? Its a deeper pan and our trucks do not have a fill tube/dipstick. So fill till fluid runs out the check plug?
