Edge Juice Platinum - NICE SETUP
Just installed the Edge Juice Platinum with the attitude monitor in my truck.
Contrary to a lot of the postings on here, the new PLATINUM edition does take the transmission into account, allowing the user to adjust defueling percentages when shifting to each gear as well as firm shift points. There is also torque converter settings and transmission slip protection settings built into it.
The amount of power this programmer puts out is awesome, and it seems like the people that end up having transmission problems / engine problems are probably pushing too hard or running it on the extreme setting, which is not recommended for stock or even just slightly modified trucks.
I have the pillar mount for the attitude monitor which is very clean and professional looking.
Reading the manual is a big help and gets you to understand the do's and dont's of this programmer.
Definitely recommend it to anyone else that has a 6.0
Also, this chip has a mileage setting that increased my MPG from 13.8 to 18 on the highway!

If it's from the lie-o-meter, better recheck by hand.

Yes, hand calculated. I have only had it a few weeks, so I will continue to take some data, but it has made a huge difference. This programmer allows you to shift on the fly, so that once you get up to speed on the highway, you put it in mileage mode and it just trickles in the fuel. Granted if you step on the throttle it doesnt respond well, but if you need to take off just put it back on one of the other modes

Trans mod recommended comes up when you make ANY tranny setting adjustment. I would recommend putting your defueling percentage up a little higher (Im running at 60%) The shifts are firm, but not too agressive. Keep in mind, stock is 100% defueling I believe....so bringing it down to 0% I would say is a little dangerous. What your doing is not taking any engine torque and power away from the tranny when it is shifting, therefore really "Slamming" the clutch plates and forcing the tranny into gear versus letting to fall into gear like it should. Keeping some fuel getting brought into the engine during the shift is ok, but the way I understand it, 0% is probably not a good way to run
