im a lil confused... the edge attitude is just a display... the juice is a modual.. but even the juice has 5 positions... are you running the edge evo?

how many miles does your trans got? when was it last serviced? the trans on these rigs is the weak link.. so ANY performance upgrade puts more stress on it than it is designed for... proper tuning is a must if you want to keep the trans happy... i would suggest going with a custom tuned chip like the TW and doing at least a valve body upgrade to the trans... you also need gauges... you really need to see what kind of temps your trans is pulling out right now...

other upgrades i recommend is a larger trans cooler or a secondary cooler....

hope this helps bud.. let me know if you need any prices on this stuff

hm... Just FYI but the edge juice has no trans tuning.. it will make your trans shift like you know what... i had it on my truck for around 2 weeks before i took that crap out.... my suggestion is not to run it... with that many miles on your trans i wouldnt risk it.... oh and for some reason my trans went out around a month after i installed it... could be coincidence i had 60k on my truck
