sell it and get a chip with custom tunes.
the edge canned tunes in the programer are crap, and will do damage to your engine, computer, and trans..

If I Were You, I Would Sell The Edge Programmer And Purchase A Chip From A Reputable Tuner. You'll Be Much Happier With That Set-Up.

I would keep it just for the gauges, codes, and ti see live data. I wouldn't try to use it to program your truck.

Did you buy it new or used ?

The edge has been known to kill obs PCM
