edge guys

thanks for all the info that lead me to buy it. i got it today and installed int right away. then me and my pops took her for a run on lvl2 with 87 in the tank and wow. it really woke her up. the shifts are very noticeable but not really aggressive. so anyways it's set on level 2 for now, and then i went into the custom option and changed my tire size as well as gear ratio and speed limiter. i bumped the speed limiter to 105 since i have the tires from the factory still on it. what i found is that the tire size that was already in there was much higher. it was like 29xx and my tire is a 2398, also when i changed the ratio it was set to 3.73, not 3.55? could this be defualts on the edge, defaults on the ecu, or did my truck possibly get programmed wrong from the get go ?

Sounds good! It doesn't require you to run premium gas w/ level 2?

As to thee warnings if you look on the bottom it says 3 remaining, 2 remaining, once your done you are good until you remove the code and put it to stock and then start over.

As for the tire size and gear ratio I have heard both that it reads what the PCM currently states for the tire size and gears and then the opposite, that it has defaults that you have to change. I personaly just change it and save it so I know it's right.

Congrats on the purchase.

Level 3 requires premium. Level 2, is ok with 87.
