Changed Edge tune and thre 5 codes

I was showing my buddy the Edge on my 5.4 and we were sitting in the truck drinking a beer and I decided to reprogram to level 3 and take him for a ride. So i tell it to tune to level 3 start the truck up and throw 5 codes. I cleared the codes, truck ran fine and have not been back since.

Any ideas???

Were you running a 91+ octane gas on level 3?

Not much to go on if you didn't record the codes and post them here...

I know absolutely nothing about E85 and a tuner. Are you sure the tune worKs ok with it? What octane is E85?

Mine did it all the time. I would make a simple change like shift firmness and the thing would throw a code and start acting weird. After sending in my tuner and verifying it wasn't broke I finally sold it. Outside of Level 2 I couldn't really do anything which sucked.

I would return the Edge. Something is messing with your truck from their tune.

I've been running and Edge on my 04 F150 FX4 with the 5.4L for 6 months with no problems. It actually helped me with a recent and soon to be resolved issue. The truck was running like crap with no check engine light and the Edge gave me the DTC of a misfiring cylinder. One thing I have learned about the Edge products is that you have to keep them updated through the software. Unless you really know what you're doing don't customize the programming... that's a world of hate waiting to happen. Try an update both software (Lightning) and firmware (Edge itself). Hopefully this helps some. Good luck.
