It's better to adjust the shifts mechanically, i.e. valve body/shift kit.
If the truck runs high EGT's with the edge removed I would be suspicious that the PCM was flashed/programmed. Even though there might not be a chip present on the front end of the PCM doesn't mean it hasn't been reprogrammed. A stock program will not run high EGT's or blow smoke unless there is a boost problem.
How did the truck run with the edge removed? A stock program with those size tires should have been pretty sluggish since stock the 7.3L is around 220 hp.
