"my opinions on edge come from working at the ford dealer as a diesel technician, i have lots of experiance with edge and banks, our dealer was an installer. every single edge programmed truck had issues, all of the 6.0 trucks wouldnt shift for crap, several 7.3's had pcm issues simliar to the one stated in this post. how can brand new trucks come with defective pcm's? maybe one here or there but numerous defectives, sorry its the product not the pcm, i had countles 6.0's come in with melted injector tips and mangled pistons, egt's are throug h the roof with edge, i had many 7.3's with injector issues' but not as much as with the 6.0's. had a couple 7.3's with fried pcm's that were not locked, just fried. had 2 that came up as mercury mondeo's when you hooked up with scan tools..... those were real winners. i could go on and on about how bad edge is with many stories to tell of horrific test drives and po'd customers. (some threatening with baseball bats) oh yes, edge is an ugly mess."
Reps sent Joe...I am impressed by your experience with Edge (mostly bad?) and the details that back up your opinion. No BS. The jury's not out on my watch. Not pimpin' Edge here. I'll let you all know if PHP works out with the tuner I already own. Not trying to sell or otherwise promote anyone, just semi-anonymously exposing my PSD education to the public...I am in first grade compared to you all. However, I gotta learn, right? BTW, I hate Dodges! Eat my smoke! Li'l lamb!

I will get my Evo back Friday with customized tunes from Power Hungry Performance. I asked about modifying the data streaming capability and...
From Bill Cohron at Power Hungry Performance:
"I can certainly expand the Datastream functions, I'll just need to spend some time on it. Tell folks to keep an eye on the website and when I update the firmware, I'll post it. If you could, let me know what people are looking for and I'll see how difficult it is to get it added. Also, a link to the thread would be cool."
Will start a new thread tonight.
Dinner's ready. Gotta go.

After looking at my stats, I am embarrased. I signed up 3 years ago and only have 3 posts to date. Damn! I'm a slug...

I Think that a lot of people would go for something like that. I know I would be KICKING down doors to get TW programs on my edge so that I can still use it as a code reader, and get all the data stream applications, 0 to 60, 1/4 mile. Talk about seeing a difference, you wouldactually have numbers to compare it to instead of a seat of the pants thing. GET ON THIS BILL!!!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!1 GO GO GO!!!!!!!!!

I am working on a few wheels and deals and will have some information on Monday about what options are available for such situations.
Keep the shiny side up.

Are you back in GA, Bill? I heard from Corey yesterday and my tuner in should be here tommorrow. I spent all day today getting my front end in working order. I ended up with cracked axle pivot brackets and cross member issues. We just welded everything and will cut it all out when I can do the D60 swap. Tommorrow, family time. Monday, me and my three year old daughter will see what's up with the new tunes.

Yeah, finally back. You don't realize how bad a 7 hour drive is until you have to do it twice in 48 hours. :P I drove back early for the similar reasons to you... family time on Sunday.
Let me know how the tunes work out for you.

Quick question for ya.
Have you found that the older tunes have to much advance with the ULSD?
Seems that the older pane tunes suit the winter ULSD.
Maybe just a summer/winter ULSD fuel thing?
