so i just put my edge tuner on my truck and WOW!! definitely didnt think it would make that much of a difference. anyways.... ive been doin some research and noticed some people are having issues with their trannys after they install it and had it on for a while. NOTE: im not saying this is why there trannys have messed up im just quoting what ive read. i just wanna be cautious cause i cant afford something to mess up.. let me know if anyone has had trouble or if these people are full of it. thanks

 

so i guess no one has heard or have had any problems??? thanks

 

I have run the Edge 31,000 miles and then custom tunes on the Edge for another 35,000. No problems

Just because someone with an Edge has a problem does not mean the Edge caused it.

 

ok thanks for the input. ive just found a post similar to mine and bill explained it all! one other question... i know this is common on a 6.0 diesel but will the extra power form the edge cause the water pump to spin so fast that it blows a head gasket from the additional "force" or "power" gained from the water pump spinning up quicker?? just curious. thanks again for any input

 

Never heard of that problem on a gas engine. Sometimes the belt will chirp(slip) during a hard shift

 

ya i experienced that tonight in the high rpms. i just ordered a gatorback belt cause everyone says that will fix it. thanks jay

 

are you saying that the chirp is from a belt and not the tranny slipping thats what it sounds like. all i have right now is the k&n and i get a chirp from first to second under full throttle. that would sure put my mind to rest before i get the edge SOON.2006 XLT 4X4

 

The chirp IS probably the belt. I know it sounds like a tranny sound, since it comes right at the upshift. With an Edge, since the upshift completes quicker, you'll probably get a worse "chirp".

Scared me too, first time I heard it.

Should I replace my belt?

 

If you want to, but I don't think the chirp means anything is getting hurt.

I have had zero problems with my edge in 4 years and 68k of service! Not to mention their customer service is top notch

 

I have the edge as well. I have only had it on for about 1,000 miles, but I love the extra power, better shift points, low end gain for pulling and especially like the custom pod and guage. My truck had 110,000 miles on it when I installed it and can not say enough about it. I have not noticed the chirp but don't push mine real hard - not yet anyway, lol! Good luck with yours. I have already had an encounter with the customer service and it was very good, they even sent me some stickers.

 

Sound like my next buy!!!!Had a super chips flashpaq and I sold it after a month....truck wasn't feeling at all and I didn't trust it much either but I have heard a lot of good things about the edge!!!

 

I'll check the condition of the belt (cracks, wear, etc), my Bud says change belt at 100K. Is the 'gatorbelt' a better replacement?

 

Hey I got an edge tuner I like it I havent done much with the custom tunes other then just used the three that edge has programed. I think that its maybe possible to damage your tranny if you do a custom tune that is too radical and you dont keep your transmission fluid changed every 30000 miles.
