i wanted to get peoples opinion on the Edge Evolution F150 performance programmer...is it worth the money...how hard was it to install how does the pod stick to the dash...and what all can it do...thanks for your help...

 

You probably should have posted this in Chips, Tuners & Programming forum, maybe a nice moderator will put it there for you.

I like the EDGE Evo. It programs the PCM faster than other tuners out there and it is the best bang for the buck with the code scanner and gauge functions as well as the ability to customize the tuning settings. As for installation, just plug it in and upload the tuning. Some people have had problems with the drivers for the Lightning software not installing properly but those usually get worked out by reinstalling. The updates are free over the internet and they have added features to it based on requests from members here. E.g. idle speed adjustment and some other tweaks. Try the EDGE first and if you don't like it, you can sell it and get an Xcal2. That is what I decided to do and I have stayed with the EDGE.

 

Not to steal the tppic but i have seen edge mention on here alot what doese it do for the truck???? Sorry for this

hope that helps

 

We've got the Edge Evo... Installation took about 10 - 15 minutes and the mount sticks to the dash using 3M Molding Tape. Running the wire was extremely simple and plugged right into the connector under the steering column. We use it on Level 3 with premium gas... Makes a big difference in power & we did noticed better mileage (if you drive in a conservative manner). We had an initial issue with the programming but 1 call to Edge and they sent us a new one that day.. awesome !!

 

Hey Guys Dont mean to hijack this topic...But i had a question....My edge evolution is on its way here. I ordered it a few days ago....Is it true that the program/CD. for the computer with the drivers to update it. is not going to work on my laptop if im running Vista on my computer?

 

Yes it will work, It worked fine with mine. worse case scenairo you download the software from edge itself. You'll be amazed how your truck reacts with this installed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I have it and it rocks! If you want to be able to run custom tunes then get the gryphon.

I LOVE mine

 

Watch out for the P061F code. LOL, JK. I think my truck was the only one to ever get that code while using the Evolution. OP, you'll love the Edge and how it completely changes the way your truck drives. I upgraded my Edge for a Gryphon and should get it by Wed. or Th. Can't wait because my truck has been stock again for 3 months or so and stock is nowhere near as much fun as it was with the Edge.

 

Anyone else think it's kinda crazy this thread has about 7,500 views?!

 

i agree

 

Remember, it sat on the boards for 3½ years before mills914 resurrected it!

BTW, according to their site, Power Hungry will stop shipping Gryphons for the 97-03 gen. after April 15. Something to do with taxes?

 

since this topic has come back up and im new to this forum but not trucks i have a question. im looking at an edge programmer but was also looking at the gryphon but you guys say i cant get one now so thats out of the question. but are there any problems with the edge once its installed, such as long term issues?

 

There are no long term issues as far as hurting your truck. There was a problem with the cables and the Edge for the 97-03. If it were me, I would contact Power Hungry Performance and see what they are offering for your truck.
