Well just ordered Juice W/Att.....

from XDP. It will be her tomorrow. I'm not looking for crazy power just some better mileage for the wife...She drives 60 miles round trip every day. I also went to two dealerships in my area to talk with the service managers about programmers. They both told me that there hands were tied if something to the motor or powertrain.. So I called Edge to ask some questions...To use the Attitude of Evolution. The Attitude seems to be the way to go...at least IMO. It shipped today and XDP said I will have it tomorrow. I will get it on and let you all know how I like it...It is for the wife you know

unfortunately i agree with pahrump... only real way to get beter mpg is deleting the regen mode or the dpf completely. with more power your dpf will fill up with soot faster which means more regen cylcles... you use fuel to burn off the soot in the DPF and so on.... if you want better MPG get a tuner that turns off the regen mode... and if you haven't regeared the truck for the 37's thats another option....

crazy03: Cancel your order bud. You will see nothing with this mod. You will clog the DPF, go to Ford , and be screwed. Research a little more on the 6.4 tuning? Good luck with it. It is really simple.

not entirely true guys. i've sold tons of them and had some great feedback form them, i have a local guy that picked up 2.5 mpg w/ his, hand calcd. it's all based on how you drive.

true that you will see more of a mpg increase w/ taking off the dpf but that's not an option for everybody.

I guess I will see what happens. If you remove the DPF then you are screwed on the warranty. She does'nt drive with her foot to the floor either. I think on the mileage setting that it won't clog the DPF. And If it does I will take the programmer off and take it in. They won't be able to tell there was a programmer on since I didn't go thru the ODBII. Thanks for the info though
Besides if I had a DPF delete programmer or pipe and we were on a road trip and something happend and had to have it taken in to the shop FMC would void all work anyways. I'm not spending 15 Gggg's on a new motor.

Is that right.
I also think you wasted your money. Edge's shifting has always sucked, so there is no way I would buy from that company.

I went through the whole process, weighing the benefits of the DPF/warranty. Ask your Edge rep if they have any data on ash build up, that BTW can only be fixed by DPF replacement.
I came up with this, there are no benefits with the DPF.
As soon as you install the Edge module, your warranty is now subject to loss just like the rest of us.. Don't let anybody else tell you different unless they are willing to back up the denied warranty themselves in writing.

I agree 100%.....if you are not going to take the DPF off then leave the entire thing stock.
