What year is the truck? Things to do for it is flush the old fluid out with new, add a good valve body, add a good transmission cooler such as one from a 6.0 truck or a Trucool. Then get a temp gauge so you don't overheat it.

He's got you covered on the parts you need. I'd seriously suggest getting rid of the edge product and going with a custom tuner as they tune for tranny shifting too. Look at php dp tuner tw ....etc etc.

The Edge is known for causing rough shifts. The idea behind it is to firm up the shifts and limit slipping of the clutches. A good idea, but Edge just got it wrong.

I don't think the Edge will hurt anything. Just give you rough shifts. Do you have one of the Edge programmers where you can monitor data on the screen? If so, I'd watch your tranny temp, and if it's a tow truck, it would be wise to invest in a larger or supplemental cooler before summer gets here.

I was 0311 myself. Semper Fi.

5811 here. I don't think you need a tuner either for what you're looking for.
