I just installed the Edge Evolution.I have a 06 FX4 5.4 an run 91 octane at 4500 feet a s l. I am towing a 4500lb boat. I cant seem to find a setting that will pull ..it seems everything i try just makes it worse. I can usually get up the steep grade of my hill at around 25 - 30 mph but had to stop and put it in lo 4x4 to get up tonite .... is it my settings or have i destroyed my transmission

I had it in custom and only adjusted shift, wheel size and shift point. can anyone give me a clue..... before i cash in my money back garrantee

 

What were you running. You might have messed up your shift points. GIve us more info. Have you trued it in their programs and pulled the same hill?

 

so i think i was
shift 1-2 @ +6..... 2-3 @ +6.....3-4 @ +3
shift std 1-2 @ +2 ....2-3 @ +3...3-4 @ +5
timing 0
wot shift 1-2 @5300 2-3 @5300 3-4 5000
tire diameter 275/65 18 @ 2559 cm
wot 1.31
gears @ 3.75 ( dont know what they are and that was in there so i assume thats what i have )
the rest i left what ever was already in the tuner

BTW ...are you out of Bozeman ?? I am in Helena

 

I dont know much about the newer transmissions. Hopefully someone else will give there two cents.

Im out of kalispell.

But im in the military so right now im in SoCal. Yeaaaaaa!!!!!!! Cant you see my excitement?

 

if i click NO to custom program ...and run in Edge towing program # 2 .... my speedo goes to 100 and im doing 10 miles an hour.

 

The one thing i see is WOT is set to 1.31. I know that most people are setting that to upwards of 1.55-1.60. Thats where im running. You might want to change that.

U said that you were running 91 octane fuel but havn't adjusted for it in your timing. WHat level are you running. If its 2 then bump the timing up 2.0. That will help.

The manual states that for every octane you should move the timing +.5. SO if the tune was for 87 and your running 91 you should move it +2.0.

If your running level 3 then you are wrong for towing in it. Never tow in a performance tune. THere is a reason there is a tow tune. What level you running?

 

can i reset it all back to Ford stock until i figure out some settings ???

7 plates... Kalispel right.. my bad. Twintips 17 skier ??? I have the freestyle snowboard and ski shop in helena BSBS we have the BS2CRU

 

level 2 for towing ....
so what are all the settings you think i should run ...it would be the same as urs when ur home. do i have 3:75 gears stock ??

 

YOu are right i am a skier. Big time LOL! YOu can reset your settings at any time to whatever you want. I wouldn't know much about your shift points but your WOT was low. Yo unever told me what tune you had it set for.

As far as gears go. What axel code do you have? that is how you tell. ITs in your driver door sticker.

19 = 3.55 open
H9 = 3.55 LSD
26 = 3.73 open
B6 = 3.73 LSD
27 = 3.31 open
18 = 3.08 open
25 = 4.10 open
B5 = 4.10 LSD

the axle code will be one of those.

If i were you i would retune your truck to a costome tune.

I would make it as follows

Level 2

WOT 160

Timing +2.0

And i would leave all the shift points alone for now.

See how that does. Cant go wrong with there tuning as far as the shift points.

I never got to do any skiing in helana. HOw you like owning a ski shop. Has to be a dream. LOL

 

its a b6
i'll change all that over and take it for a spin real quick ... you gunna be around for a lil bit ??

ski shop is cool sometimes... we have a pro wakeboard shop and do lessons and stuff in the summer www.bigskyboards.com or myspace/bs2cru

 

I will have to look that up. I will be for a bit. Let me know how it worked. Wakeboarding is somethign that i want to try bad. Me and a couple of buddys were drinking to much one day and took one of the kmart snowboards and tied some milk jugs to it and tried. That was a secne if i say so myself. LOL

Dont give up on the edge yet.

There is a ton of people that know and love it on here and would be glad to help.

Me included.

 

Were the videos taken at great devide? I have skied there. Looks like there park. I could be wrong though. Been a year.

Is that your kid under the truck? LOL reminds me of me! Do you guys go wake boarding at holter?

 

It just hauled *** up the hill at 30+ without a run at the hill... you friggin rock dude.
what do you have urs set for performance??
and do i have to reset those settings everytime i change from performance #3 to towing #2

 

Yes. Every time you change something you need to put those settings in. I would write them down or something. Are you in level three?

How long have you had your edge?

I have mine set for level 2. I do a ton of driving in town and i like the low end torque it gives me. I have advanced the timing to run 91 octane and i get more MPG's that way. I have a manuel tranny so i dont have to mess with the shift Point. LOL! Thats where things get funny.

 

Yeah thats some of the great divide and my back yard ..those are both my boys if you look on the myspace videos the two resumes are my 9 year old (skiing) and 8 year old ( snowboarding)..my team helps build the park and put all the comps on @ great divide.
We mostly go to Hauser as Im building a cabin there. But go to holter once in a while ...Gate of the Mountain is on fire bad right now
