You will have to call edge and have them send you the stock tune. Or go to the dealer. I wouldn't touch your truck until you speak with edge. You have the potential to mess up both trucks and have to bring the dealer both trucks. If you corrupted the stock tune from your truck your in trouble. Did you buy the edge from an authorized dealer? I would call edge first thing tomorrow and find out what your options are exactly. Go to www.edgeproducts.com and get the number and call don't email they will never get back to you.

I have a bad feeling about all of this. Do nothing before calling Edge, although I am not sure what they will be able to do for you.

Not that this is of any use to anyone...

but this is why I don't mess with the factory computer setup.

If you read the instructions and follow them exactly you won't run into problems. If you do your programming during the business hours of Edge they can help you fix a "No Start" situation. Edge has a "Stock Tune" on file and you can download it to your pod and get your truck running again.

You make a good point...my biggest fear is that in the event that I can't get the thing running, I'd have to pay to tow a new truck to a dealer, and pay a rediculous dealer rate to get the truck, which is still under warranty, running.

BUT...to each their own. I have seen the vast majority of edge owners seem very saitisfied.

all your guys info is great i will call edge tommorow oh and yes i bought the edge from discount power parts so i believe they are a aurthorized dealer.

if i have to take it to dealer iam just so afraid they will know we did something although i will tell them nothing and hope for the best. biggest problem is its my edge and my buddys new truck sucks dont it.. besides that the edge is working great in my truck at this time. had to let my buddy use my truck until we can fix his. it is my fault for the mess up. word to the wise pay attention and she will treat you right dont and pay for it (hopefully not this time}
