Edge Evolution question (15051)
Hey everyone, I'm about to purchase an Edge Evolution for my 2004 F150 5.4 FX4, and had some questions. I'm trying it out before I buy it, and I can't get it to work on my truck. The guy I'm buying it from said he set his truck back to stock before he sold the truck, but when I go to turn the key off then turn it on, it says that it is locked to another vehicle and must be set to stock settings before it can be used with mine. He doesn't have the truck anymore, and I was wondering if there's a way around this. The part number is 15051. I'm only buying it for $100 so I figured it was worth it.

Hi.
Yep - PHP charges $75 as well. http://www.gopowerhungry.com/_gryphon.shtml
Unless you can get it for ~$50 or so, I'd pass as well.
Now, I did buy a locked 15051 on the cheap, but I just use it for additional gauges via a homemade passthrough cable from a connected Scanguage II.
IF you elect to buy it and get it unlocked, let PHP do it - and order their custom calibrations while yer at it. New, these things are $369 from them.
good luck!

That's a good deal.
Here's the kicker though (caveat - applies only if you elect to run custom calibrations):
PHP Gryphon from PHP = $369 + 3 custom tunes (@ $30/each) = $459
Edge from AA = $280 (assuming sale) + 3 custom tunes (@$60/each) = $460
For that scenario, may as well buy it from the friendly 'llittle' guy family business with a face, support and a support forum - PHP. Custom tuning is half price if you buy the device from them. AA just pushes product - they have zero support themselves.
Custom tuning is well worth the price of admission - especially if there is no premium.

I got the programmer for $25 from the guy since it was locked. Paid $99 to get it unlocked and updated, now it works like new. And I love it. I can actually watch how terrible my gas mileage is. But it's getting better cause it's teaching me what to do to keep the average MPG as high as possible. lol

To get the best gas mileage, always drive downhill, with a tailwind.
Seriously though, don't put a lot of faith in the Average MPG numbers. You'll find they don't match the results you get using the old hand method of Miles Driven/Gallons Added at Fill up. The Instant MPG is good though for showing when you are putting a high demand on the gas supply and when you aren't.
