You may have to play with the tire size a bit and check the speed with a gps if you have one. Also, the edge speedo reading will be a couple mile an hour lower than the truck speedo. The trucks read slower than you are going. The edge reads the actual speed off the PCM.
Pretty sure you mean the truck speedometer reads FASTER than your actual speed (and the Edge) even if your tire size and GR are correct.

The GPS confirmation is the best way to confirm the correct tire size and GR.

Start with 3% squish and adjust from there using a GPS or known distance:

my edge evo has been on my 04 150 for about 3 years now..haven't had any problems with it and it stays in the tow mode..makes a big difference when you have a load behind it!!

Oh please...........that can destroy any tranny with or without a tune. The tune probably kept it alive longer than it would have lived otherwise.
