I have yet to see an Edge cause a tranny failure.

 

ive been following these posts the best i can and i still dont understand something.

how are you guys getting these numbers off the edge unit so you can troubleshoot the problem?
im having issues i mentioned them to you a while back. i was going to download the updates and you told me to wait.
i had shutter on level 3 setting.

did you ever find out anything?

 

I don't recall a tranny failure with the Edge. I have 60,000 miles on my truck, 30,000 of them with the Edge, most on Level 3. No problems at all.

 

The shudder has been fixed. See post 21 of the following thread.

I've tried to update my edge on thier website with no luck. Is there another place to do this ?

 

No other place. Usually when someone has a problem, it is caused by the firewall on their computer. try turning the firewall off.

 

I'll try it thanks

 

If you continue to have trouble, you might PM or email Stealth, he has worked with it quite a bit. Also, there have been some posts, you might try a search for "Lightning software" or "Edge software downloads".

 

If you are unable to download the software off of the internet, then i would recommend using the CD that comes with the programmer. If yours did not come with one then i would recommend contacting Edge. The main two problems on downloading the software is first the firewall and second the drivers. If the firewall block certain parts of the software then the drivers will not load properly and will cause it not to function.
Usually it is a pretty easy fix. If you download the software and it doesn't work then i would recommend turning off the firewall and go into your properties and advance features and reinstall the drivers for the lightning software.

 

Aw, c'mon Phil.... We love you and you know it! Hee Hee Hee! But yes, bashing Edge will certainly earn you a poke in the eye from me!

Now, I am the FIRST one to admit that the Evo has had it's problems, but I have yet to see one ruin a tranny. Most of the existing problems have been resolved and the few remaining are being taken care of as fast as we can.

Now... moving on.

To locate the current version numbers, go to the main menu, select [Diagnostics] and then select [Version Info]. There are two different versions of Evos and these are the latest versions...

Old Version:
E3.22.28 (where 22 is the firmware and 28 is the calibration)

New Version:
Firmware: 2.50.2657
Calibration: 1.0.3839

As for the update software, Lighting will soon be obsolete. Because of all the problems with FTP access being blocked by firewalls, Edge is finishing the final touches on their latest downloader software which is all HTTP based and doesn't have firewall issues. I am not sure when it will be ready for release but will certainly post something when it is ready to go.

For those in DIRE need, updates can be applied via e-mail if necessary. Contact Edge Tech Support if you fall into this category.

Hope this helps.

I had the exact opposite happen to me two days ago. I returned the edge back to stock and my 4x4 ho and lo lights started flashing, so I went down a muddy road yesterday and my 4x4 works fine, hiand low, but the lights are still flashing today. I cannot figure this one out, so if you figure it out please drop me some info. thanks

 

Bill,

Add me to the list of problem-free Edge owners (I guess that makes 3 of us). My *ONLY* complaint about the unit is that I cannot adjust for tire size - when I try to set it, I get a message that it is not available. I got around it by playing with my gear ratio setting.

I was in the Beta program and have been very happy with it.

 

I got an Edge Evo for xmas, I have had it on l level two and haven't had any problems with it at all. I have changed the tire size as I have 265/70r17's which is not what the programmer says is stock for my expedition. I also changed shift firmness and WOT fuel. I haven't set it to level three yet as I have not yet filled up with 91 octane , who knows when or if I ever will, that stuff is expensive.

I have not updated any programming from the website nor have I checked out the CD they sent, I didn't see any need to yet until I read this forum. Should I download any updates, or should I wait until they fix these problems that all of you are talking about?

Thanks,
Doug

 

I didnt know Edge made a Evo for a Expedition.

 

Yelp Im pretty sure they do too.

Doug if your edge is working fine I honestly wouldnt worry about flashing the unit. Also take note "if" you do ever go to lvl3 its a big differance from lvl2!

The only reason I run 93 is because I only or mostly drive my truck on the weekends. I have a car I drive to save on gas during the week.
