yup... I had the recall reprogram done. I hope they don't leave us stranded with a nice set of gauges for $300+ Anyone have any clues why I can't install the lightning program on my computer???

 

Hi Chris - need more info - what are the specs on the pc & operating system?

If it's 2000, XP or greater, the account you are using needs local admin privileges to start with ... disable virus checking & firewall temporarily, close all other apps, sufficient resources, etc ....

I'm assuming it meets the minimum requirements for the Lightning application ...

 

all parameters of my computer are above there requirements... XP home SP2, 3g prcessor.. 1 gig memory. Plenty of disk space. ... all protection disabled.. but it downloaded the program fine. It is on installation that I am getting the error code.

 

Ok... got the computer figured out and now the software works... Now to wait and see if edge comes thru with a tune for the 2007 FFV trucks.

 

Chris
I have a 2007 FX2 FFV. I have not heard about any recalls, what can you tell me?
I am using the Edge just for the guages right now,but I realy want the towing program for pulling my Lightning to the track.

 

there is an update available now for the 2007

 

you should be getting a notice soon.. should have by now. The recall is to reflash the computer because it wasn't keeping track of the catalitic converter output or something. Fast and easy to do at the dealer.. but now there is a new code for edge to figure out I guess.

 

from edge?? Not yet as of this morning. They have a few unstable tunes for the '07... but I won't run that.

 

I have not heard about this reprogram. Is it for all 2007's? Did they send you a notice? I have not recieved anything yet.

Yeah I got a notice. My truck was built 12/4/06.... if yours was built later then maybe it was taken care of at the factory... or if you just bought it, the dealer may have done it before you took delivery. You can tell if the dealer did it by a sticker on the front edge of the underside of the hood. This is also only for FFV equiped trucks.

 

How did you find your build date??

 

Cuz I ordered it, and the salesman gave me the build date you can look for various dates on components under the hood and get a pretty accurate date that it was built. With just in time manufacturing, the dates on components are only a day or two from the actual build date.

 

i just updated my edge to both the newest that are availiable. i know they are unstable but they did program my truck on my ffv 07 after the recal update.

 

are you getting any error codes? how do you like how it runs?

 

Does your truck run any different after update(less throttle lag)? I love the way it runs but would like it a little more responsive. I am hoping that is what the Edge will do when they get the programming up to date.
