Ok I have had the juice[regular-90hp] in use for three weeks now. I have tried all four levels and I use level 2 for the towhaul mode, and I like level 2, but I love level 4 for the regular drive mode. level 3 doesn"t seem as smooth as 2 or 4. my question to all of you with experience is can I drive in level 4 every day without destoying the alli. I don't use it to drag race, but I like the feel and the ability to move in and out of traffic smoothly and quickly. daily I do both city and highway driving. weekends I tow approx. 6700 lbs. I talked with A fellow at edge and he said the 90 hp level 4 would not hurt the alli. but I would like to hear from people that have had experience. I have gauges to monitor egts and boost. thanks in advance for your replys.

put it in 4 or 5 leave it there drive and enjoy........be warry of wet pavement.......towing level 3

I thought you should stay at level 1 or 2 for towing?

I tow in level 3 but keep an eye on the EGT's. Fine for towing on the flat, drop back to level two in the hills.

I'm going to make a post in the trany section about what my autopsy showed. May want to take a looksie

Thanks for your reply's. It helps having experienced people sharing thier experiences and knowledge.

25,000 miles later - Level 2 for towing ---- Level 4 for daily driving.


I have tested all levels for daily for performance and MPG. So little difference in MPG to be a non issue. Fun Factor is in the level 4. <warning> easy on the trottle on wet streets or leaving the red lights!


Besides aint nothing better than blowing smoke in the windshields of the mustangs and rice burners!

I use level 1 for towing 13-14K trailer and level 1 for normal driving.

level 3 pulling and 4 for play http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Evil Smile.gifhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif nothing like smoked rice!

Edge told me NO level was safe. Every level will eventially burn up the clutches. The lower levels just take longer.

Thats what edge told me. I took mine off and sold it.

If you do a search you will see a guy here that took his tranny apart after 30 days of juice and he had burned clutches.

I use level 2 for towing under 10k, level 1 for towing over 10k. I hope to install my pyro next week so I can check on level 2 towing over 10k. I have played with level 3 for regular driving for a couple of weeks but I usually keep it in level 2 simply because I don't have a pyro installed yet.

unloaded on my juice I dont think I have ever gotten it above 1250 in the 90hp level with low boost fueling(makes a big difference in EGT's) set on level 5. 125 is a different story but i would say unless you are towing or loaded down climbing a mountian 90hp is totaly egt safe JMO

I use the level one (60hp) setting on my Hot Juice in both TH and regular drive ... have had it on my truck for well over 60 thousand miles .... I work my truck but don't abuse it, never have seen a post EGT reading get to 1,100 ... just completed a cross country 10,093 mile tow of a 33' heavy camper, hit many different mountain ranges including the Rockies ... engine and transmission have preformed flawlessly ... well pleased with my Juice unit and its affect on my 3500's D/A
