Help Needed With Tuner!!

I have the Edge EVO tuner exactly like this one, and the tune is stuck in my truck.

Edge: 94-03 Ford 7.3L Edge Evolution Programmer, Edge, EDGE-15000

The screen is cracked and i cant tell what its doing, it still functions properly though.

Could anyone who has THIS tuner, please make me a transcript (What the screen says, how much time to wait to tune, etc.) of functions so i can get my truck back to stock for Emissions test!! Pictures would honestly be the best, but i will try with whatever i can get. Thanks so much in advance!!

I don't need an expensive tuner, i bought this one off my buddy for 50 bucks just to have fun with and gain a bit of extra power. Trying to afford $10k of college without student loans and bursaries and crap its not easy to throw 400-500 at a good tuner in a truck im not keeping for much longer, i just need it to last me another year then it's done, its not worth a good tuner in this thing

What Aaron is telling you is that Edge is known to ruin PCM's. They aren't cheap either, PCM's that is!

Sorry for the less than helpful response above. The Edge tuners have a reputation for permanently damaging the ECU's so not many guys here run them. My suggestion is to call Edge customer service and see if they can walk you through it. Once you get it back to stock tune I'd consider getting rid if it. Good luck.

Thanks Bob_T, i talked to edge a while ago and they just told me to get one of their new tuners so they can put a stock tune in the tuner for me, but that involves buying the new tuner. I don't need a new tuner, i just want it back to stock, wasn't going to retune the thing after pulling the tune out anyway. Its been about a year on the tow tune, not a stupid power tune atleast but they won't emissions test with any tune. Ill try talking to them again.

Probably easiest and safest to just take it to Ford and have them flash it. I'm not aware of anyone here still running an edge programmer.

Edit: Or check youtube. There has to be an old video of someone first tuning their 7.3.
