My truck came with an Edge, and I changed programming a few times. Then put it back to stock and left it out of fear of something like that happening. At least I have something to read data streams and codes with!
Good luck

My truck came with the programmer, too. I have decided to have Bill from powerhungryperformance.com do customized tunes for my truck. I want to see what he can do with my code reader/data streamer....I'll let ya'll known what happens.

I have given up on the Edge. I like the idea that Wildman and DP actually tune for the mods on the truck it is used on and I like the idea of changing tunes on the fly. Since the Edge came free, it is worth keeping just to read data streams and codes, and to clear codes. I am going to check Bill's out of curiosity though.
I am not a racer or pulling a lot of heavy loads and I am very happy with the performance of my truck with the mods on it now, so I am not intense on the idea of getting a chip. But I would like to hear how it works out for you.
Thanks.

PS. I dont think you just got lucky. Iam sure just like anything other product you have the rare problems. The ones that were "MADE ON A MONDAY MORNING"
PSS. Thanks MTNWOODY for all the info you are giving us on what you can do with a Edge.

I hear that the stock tunes on the Evo have better luck with the 5-speed tranny. I will be talking with Bill today about custom tuning and hopefully have my Evo back this week. I have a CEL I need to clear.
