I do like to throw out VMP Tuning out because he's one of the best tuners around. Everyone wants options and he's simply one of the better options by a long shot. I'm sorry that you didn't like Justin's customer service, I tried to talk to you via PM but your box was full so maybe send me another one and explain everything. But, on the other hand you're the only one whos reported something like this about Justin and VMP Tuning. Many recieve emails back within a hour or two, which I'd say is damn good customer service. I wasn't even able to talk to Mike Troyer after calling twice and leaving messages for him. It's hit or miss, I guess but like I said shoot me a PM.

I really would say to just take a half hour to get out onto the highway.. just a short ride and I swear you're gonna say "whoa!!".. LOL
The passing ability alone is nothing like I ever thought my truck could do, even after I put the AF1 on which did make a difference... but nothing like this tune.. It's not even that it "jumps" at those speeds, it just GOES.. and very quickly!!.. LOL..

Just curious if you are talking about the "50 MPH shudder" that people have been experiencing? There's a new update that seems to have that issue resolved. https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=305376
Also, there is custom tuning available for the Evolution now. Since you have already ordered your stuff from Troyer I guess it's all academic at this point, but thought I'd mention it anyway.
Take care and good luck.

In case anyone cares,
Went ahead and bought a used Edge from the F150 Online classifieds today, excited to recieve it.
Is there anything I need to do to...."Clean it up" before going to my truck?
Dont want to screw anything up on my truck

Just make sure yu have all the latest updates applied. Download and istall the Lightning software from Edge's website, connect the unit to your USB port, and the run the software. Go to the Updates menu, select the latest firmware and calibrtion updates, and then apply. Once completed, the unit should be the same as a "new" unit and you should be good to go.
Enjoy!

Hey Bill,
Is there some where you can go to see the latest update versions for the edge other than having to return the truck to stock and connect your edge to the computer and run the lightening software only to find out your already up to date?
Thanks .

Do it right the first time and get the Troyer tune. Just sold my Edge and am now getting the Troyer tunes
You know you loved your Edge and telling everyone to get a Troyer tuner and havnt even used one yet. LOL Atleast wait till you get it before rubbing it in.
How much longer is the wait, will you get it before Christmas? hehehe
