I have the juice with attitude and I was towing my toyhauler from Pismo beach Ca. today. My trailer weighs about 10000 lbs I was running the juice at level 3 with no problems even on steep grades my EGT never went over 1200. Then on the way home after about 200 miles or so my check engine light came on witch has happened before but nothing seems wrong then as I am slowing down to stop light my attitude alarm goes off I looked down and my EGT were going from about 400 were they should be to 2200 it kept pulsing back and forth 400 1300 2200 even when I was idling I disconnected it and made it home no problems. I am pretty sure the attitude was freaking out and the check engine light is something else last time it went off the next day. When I got home and let the truck sit for a few hours reconnected the juice and it seems fine. I don't know what would happen if your EGT got the hot I would think the truck would not be running any more also I don't know if it is possible to go from 400 to 1300 to 2200 in 2 seconds help.

shaydog24,


A little while after I got my Juice/Attitude, my egt's started bouncing back and forth between about 123 and the actual of 5-600 (regular driving). Edge thought it was the Attitude and sent me a new one. That didn't fix it and it got more erratic until it would only read about 65. Edge sent me a new Pyro probe and problem solved! I've since upgraded to the Hot Juice and it still works great. Oh, and Edge's customer service was first rate in fixing the problem. I'm not sure if a bad probe is your problem but it's something to consider.
