Ford New Evolution vs Predator vs . . .

Has anyone information comparing the Evolution with other tuners particulary the Predator or Superchip? Or experience with the new Evolution.

I have read a couple of posts on the Evolution but the questions and answers were narrowly specific.

I like the design of the Evolution which eliminates installation of gages.

DP-Tuner can now load their custom tunes onto the new Evo. Might want to check it out if you are set on that. It's some of the best tuning you'll find for these trucks. www.dp-tuner.com

This is the tuner I am interested in:

http://www.edgeproducts.com/product.php?pk=54&pvk=223

Is this Jody one of their specialist? I keep hearing that name and reference to "his" tunes. What are his tunes?

No Jody is not affiliated with them. Click the link I gave you on my previous post. That's his own company that he and his wife Diane run.

Curtis is correct, but what we do is sell Edge's awesome New Edge Evolution custom tuned to your truck. We are now Edge dealers. You can also get it with the Edge tuning as well. It is, I have to say, more refined then what it use to be with the Old Evo Flash tool. You could always try that for a while and if you need or want more you can always get Jody or Bill to convert it to a custom unit.

Runnning out of patience with Edge, so I though I would post this info. The cable for the new system is faulty. I'm on my third at this point having had one not read the pyro probe, one seemingly fry at the OBDII connector (kind of scary considering the conncectivity to he PCM), and the current one which now goes blank every 3-4 minutes requiring me to wiggle the display to regain power. Beyond these issues the unit perfroms fine. The displays work, the programs are fine, no worries.

Anybody else having a similar experience?

I am sorry, but we are not taking trades for the old edge evo flash tool.

So I buy the Evolution ($600) then send it to you or buy it from you then decide what tuning I want done and add that price on?

Ex: The Evolution + $459.95 with 3 standard DPT Files = $1059.95?

NO that price is way off. I wish though. I will send you a price with buying it straight from us. If you already have one then it will need to be convertered to allow for our tunes.

Diane

On edit: I need for you to turn on your enable PM's so I can pm you a price.

I had the same problem with my EvoII. I am on my 3rd cable now and on my 2nd Pyro cable and probe. I really like the unit and Edge has overnighted parts etc.

I am still glad that I bought it. I am thinking about doing the dp-tuner program deal. The last cable has given me no problem for the past month.

Dude, I feel your pain. Edge's great customer service was really good so I did not get too irritated about it.

It's done.

Seems like there are a few choices plus I don't really understand the program selection. For example the "16 "switch on the fly" programs". Do they all come as a package or do you pick from the list .

Would be nice, really nice if I had all at my finger tips.

I really need to call and discuss my wants/needs regarding the truck.

Same problems here, pyro would not work. I disconnected it at the obd2 connector for a minute then reconnected and it worked.Had to do that twice. Then If I bump or move the display the screen would go blank until I wiggle it to its "sweet spot". I havent contacted edge yet as it is working fine for now. Figured I will let them figure out the problem before they just keep sending me new parts that will fail again. BTW I got mine from DP with their tunes and love it except for the issues with the hardware.
