I recently installed an edge juice chip with an attitude monitor I drilled and Tapped the EGT guage as well as triple checking all the wiring connections and the chip still does not seem to be functioning. Any Ideas?

briano 07-09-2005, 12:00 AM when you say "chip is still not functioning" what exactly do you mean? do you mean the display of the attitude? or the actual edge box is not working? give us a little more info so we can help... new, used? allford69 07-09-2005, 01:00 AM all of the displays work (Boost,EGT,RPM, and what not) But there is no noticable power increase. allford69 07-09-2005, 01:59 PM I put it on my dads 05 F-350 incase that helps briano 07-09-2005, 06:20 PM dumb question, but you did change levels on it right? if you just install it period it will be on level Zero which is stock. did you adjust the up/down to go to level 1 or 2???

Don't expect your trans to shift properly or live a long life if you run the edge!

I don't want to hurt my trans., since I have been running the Edge Juice for the past 35,000 miles with no trouble. bobo 07-15-2005, 01:04 AM Can you explain why the Edge will ruin a transmission in a few thousand miles?

The higher hp settings on the Edge will destroy both ford and gm trans over time. It just takes less time in a Ford because they don't have "smart" trans like the Allison. The SCT has trans tunes built into the ECM on the Ford to raise psi in the trans and keep the clutch packs from slipping. This should help extend the life of the Ford trans, but I don't think it will work. The best bet is to mod the trans. starting with a new tq converter. Maybe the Ford guys can tell you more. snoeproe 07-15-2005, 10:10 AM did you read the warnings/disclaimers about the Edge when you installed it? this viods any warrantie from Ford also ;) RaceHemi 07-15-2005, 10:32 AM A 6.0 with the Edge set to the higher levels will shift terrible. I know of at least one 04 theat ran the Edge/Attitude for approx. 20k mi and when the TS recall was performed the tech found some clutches were burnt and needed relpacing even though it shifted "ok"(by edge standards) on the lower levels. He did not beat on it or run the higher levels much because at the higher levels never did shift cleanly. After the recall and rebuild we installed the SCT tunes by Innovative and we noticed a major improvement in shift quality, power and EGTs. His Edge box is now for sale.

You MAY however run into some difficulties because of the EGT sensor install. | ||
