After reading lots of posts, is the Edge worth it?
I'm Very happy with my EDGE and love the gauges! Played around with different speeds with the cruise to see where mileage would be best. Round trip last week, 190 miles, 21.6 mpg! Cruise at 67, 90% freeway. I've been averaging 18+ since edge and exhaust. Mine is 4x4, Scab with 3.55 gears...
I like everything I am hearing about this. I havent really looked into any of them due to the fact that i think it will void my factory warranty, is this true? If so is it possible to have it in the truck and remove it when I take my truck to be serviced? also, is this better than the tryoyer performance excalbur or w/e. how much is the setup with the mount and all? Is it easy to operate?

Who can install it in case I buy it?
I drive a lot in the city, stop and go, stop and go all the time

You can install it yourself.

Higher octane and more timing equals better mileage.
Most people see an increase in their mileage.
You didn't?

I just fueled my truck up this week. 33.4 gals @ $2.95/gal for 92 octane total $98.53, 518.4 miles on that tank 15.52 miles/gal. I think that is pretty good for running big tires and also towing 13,000 lbs of about 50 miles (on lvl2) on that tank of gas.

That's a big difference.
Edge Evolution is definitely worth it. It's the best money I've spent on my truck so far. It's like buying a set of digital gauges with a code scanner, and getting a tuner for free.
I have a quick ? about edge (this is my dealbraker) I want to know about the changing of the shift points. heres my example:
coming hard around a short 90 degree right turn. turn hard. plow through (understeer) floor the gas at the apex, (and after it decides it'll shift) the power hits the pavement through my LSD 3.73 gears. kicking my truck sideways (fishtail) now heres the gay part. with the stock tune when you do that. it doesn't just stay in gear and let you power your way through the slide. no it SHIFTS. into second. forcing you to stop having fun and THEN it'll downshift once again so you can accelerate. I DON'T want it to shift. and the only way to make it not shift stock is to put it into 1 which leaves me with some retarted tune with no power. anyone got some insight as to whether the edges shift point will let me have the fun ford has denied me?

I believe that you meant $3.48 a gallon for premium. That still hurts.Here in upstate NY, we are currently $2.95 - $3.15 a gallon for regular and add $.20 for premium.

You don't have to run higher octane for level 2.. That's what I run and it only requires 87 octane... and the performance is waaaaay better than stock
