Problem with Edge Programmer
My friend has a 2006 F-350 with a 6.0 and when he installs his Edge Platinum Juice programmer it blows white smoke and gains no power at all. When the programmer is not in the vehicle the truck does not blow smoke and runs fine. Edge tested it and said the programmer is perfectly fine. He also used someone elses exact programmer and it did the same thing. So we can only assume the problem is in the truck. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, Matt.

Loss of power are indicative of so many things though, however, considering it does it with the module, the module is doing something that is atleast bringing an issue to bare, if not causing it.
In all honesty, I would ditch the Edge and get something that does custom tunes, it will actually be better in the long run for the truck.
Just out of curiosity, is he running an a/m intake? If so then I would ditch that as well, there are no benefits to a "tuned" 6.0 with an a/m intake.
As to what exactly the issue could be, well it really depends, I can think of a few things(or combination of things) that could be causing this. Is there anything else you can give me? Gauge readings etc?

Well, in-line fuel modules such as the Edge are not good for the 6.0 period. Their products in particular are known to eat trannys and to have issues with the stock headbolts as well.

I will ask him for more details so its easier to pinpoint the problem.

Let me know. Power loss is indicative of just too many things. I can rattle off quite a few and it might be a combination of the ones that I mention as well. Does he have a good code reader as well? Not just the Edge to read codes, but I mean something like Auto Enginuity or something like that? The Edge might not pick up codes that would help with this as well.

I'm thinking more and more it's the module though. Let me know what he says about the gauges though, that might me change my mind.
