Edge Evolution (idles low)

I installed my Edge the other day, started out on level one, shifts fell really good. Going to see if there is any difference in fuel economy. Will go to level 2 next tank of gas. I have a question about the idle, In park it idles around 700, than put in drive , it idles in the low 500, around 520. Sometimes at a stop light it feels like it wants to stall, it will try to go below 500. Has anyone experienced this with there Edge? Can the idle be adjusted(via the edge programmer)

Personally, I'd wait until your next tank of gas and see if it goes away. Mine idled like crap with some bad gas. I don't think it's your Edge.

Question though...You say in Level I it shifts really nice? When I go to Level I it feels like stock but magically upped my mileage a little. I run Level III exclusively, and that makes it shift nice. Especially with a ton of rock in the bed of it. (a little overloaded I know, but it sits real nice on the stops and I go slow)

I have noticed no change since I installed my evolution, I always idle at 500, but if my ac is on or if it's raining I idle at 600 to 650

I have the same programmer in my truck and i had that same problem for the longest time. I updated the programmer and then i programmed my truck to LEVEL 2 and then i went to CUSTOM SETTINGS, i went down to IDLE SETTING and i put the idle up to about 500. if the idle is still to low or too high you can mess with it to get your truck when it needes to be. its reallly easy. that should fix your problem. i don't have that problem anymore. i update my programmer once or twice a month. its the best thing i ever bought for my truck.

That sounds like a pretty normal idle Rpm.
