My vendor said he knows the Edge works well with my year but believes some folks have had trouble with the Predators on this model year.
99 seems to be one of those years where ford made a few more "adjustments" than normal to the F-260/350 PSD line. I'll post a separate thread for those that are interested to discuss the known differences of this particular model year.

There was a HUGE difference in power, but it raised the OD shift point by about 7 mph, and made it shift much more firmly. I didn't like the high rpm shift point with this selection, and I didn't like the jerk when it shifted. Basically, I didn't like it that it wouldn't shift to OD at about 42-44 mph anymore, and I found myself trying to make the shift smoother by letting up on the accelerator right when it shifted.
The Tow (lowest setting) has the stock shift points, but I can't really tell any difference on this truck in power when compared to stock. I think I will go back to stock, and sell the Evo. Anyone want a good, like new unit?

i run the predator... and the shift firmness was decent on the "hard" setting... but.. i put the sonnax kit in my auto tranny and shut off the tranny settings.. like the predator book said to... and it is much better... shifts great all the time under all conditions... and my predator tunes take less time to load...!
