It is pretty quick. About 10 minutes tops. I have mine for sale. Give me a shout if you want to save a little on it.

If you don't mind, let me give you a little advice. BEFORE you install the Edge on your truck, make sure you download the latest updates before yo do, or you may regret it.

You can use it on another truck as long as the first one was returned to the stock program before swapping.

Download the latest updates by installing the Edge "Lightning" software on your computer and plugging the Edge in w/ the provided USB cable.

What will you do if you need warranty work, or if they unit is bad? Edge will ask for proof of purchase price, and If your reciept shows the above mentioned price they will not honor the warranty.

I Just want you to be aware.

I like to live on the edge, the dangerzone . I've pretty much accepted the fact that if I buy anything online the manufacturer will not honor the warranty. I know, I know, I should have bought one from you before April 1.

OK - now I'm curious....

1) Why does the mfr. refuse warranty work based on the price paid for the product? - If I bargain my butt off and get a new truck for a few hundred above invoice and my rich neighbor goes out and buys a truck at sticker price, I don't think any reputable mfr would deny me warranty based on what I paid for the truck??

2) Still waiting for info on how T-B_MN got that price?

As for the price i ordered from 4wheelparts.com I guess i get kind of the unofficial "frequent buyer discount" I just ordered my lift, wheels and tires from them and spent $$$. If you just spend some time talking to the people at 4wheelparts.com you can haggle with them and get a better price. It looks nice when they look in your history and see you spent lots of money with them, so they are more willing to give you a better price.
