Edge evolution problems, any suggestions greatly appreciated
Well still having problems I tried putting the intake back to stock but I believe i am missing a few pieces but I did move my MAF to be as close as possible to where the stock spot is. I'm kinda leaning toward taking it to the local mechanic and letting him see what he can do. I noticed last nite that when I got gas the fuel gauge never changed so I'm wondering if there's some electrical problem that I just can't find.
Update- I sent my edge back and I am waiting for my new CS to arrive they said it has new technology and different tunes so I really hope that it corrects the problem I have also been running high octane gas consistently since and have had zero problems for the last two weeks with no edge
I really think the problem is in your truck. I think the tunes just make the problem more "obvious" to the PCM, causing the code. Tunes expect the truck to be in perfect shape to start with, they modify a truck in "factory" condition. Putting the same modifications on one that is somewhat "out of spec" can drive it fully "out of spec".

Sorry, but not quite....the ECM software and processors we have today are "More Powerful" than the largest, most advance computer used aboard the last flown space shuttle!

In general...
This is not unusual for Edge or most any of the aftermarket "Tuners", which personally I would avoid like the plague....and includes Roush, Bullydog, BAMA, etc. To start with IMHO, going with a mail order tune is really no different than your grandparents taking their car to "Tune-Masters" for a tune-up......yes, they did change the plugs etc, but they were not there to fine tune the car just find the middle of the road where the car runs and get it out of the shop. Mail order tuners are no different...anyone who claims they can tune your car without ever seeing it is selling camel poop- period! They cannot tune your engine without seeing the data specific to altitude, humidity & fuel burning characteristics- just because you use 93 octane does not mean the 93 octane they used on their dyno (tuners) has the same burning characteristics...nor do they typically address the seasonal fuel blends for each region of the US.....and best of all "mail order tuners' are not regulated like any other auto repair shop in the US...so if they "damage" your car...gee, sorry...sue me!
It is important to verify the “Tuner” is ASE certified in ECM & Trans programming & current. Some of these “geniuses” have caused substantial damage to vehicles- just jump over to flatratetech.com & read comments from the MSE techs!
If you go to this link http://www.fordracingparts.com/downl...ceTechTips.pdf the engineers at Ford racing have a article on just exactly how these “tuners” play games with the hp/tq ratings, how calibration can cause misleading dyno results, & some of the “tricks” that are used to gain supposed power increases when in fact, mis-managing your engine.

But, that microprocessor is using software to interpret sensor readings and it reacts accordingly. If the software is not adjusted for a mechanical fault in the vehicle, then the PCM/ECM cannot react to correct the problem.

No argument at all with you regarding the quality of the hardware - yes, a modern PCM/ECM is certainly more "powerful".
