You can't get one for the 4.2

ive been running the edge evo on my 06 5.4 for over a year now and have not had any problems besides blasting tread off my tires when i get on it lol!! but like stated above im not sure if they have a tuner for the 4.2 or not

They won't mess up your transmission as long as you don't try to up your shiftfirmness and fool around and set settings to high.

EDGE is for 4.6/5.4 but I believe you can buy a Gryphon (rebadged EDGE) by Bill at Powerhungryperformance. I think he can program it to run on a 4.2.. don't quote me on that but he might be able too. Check out their site.

Not claiming to be a mechanic, but I haven't had any problems yet. Prior to installing the Edge my tranny would act confused on when to shift from time to time. Especially when starting from a stop sign. I had it checked when under warranty but Ford didn't find anything wrong. I usually leave the Edge on Level 2 and even firmed the shifts up a little more. The truck feels healthier to me.

well i could of swore that i went to a shop around here and they said they could get an edge programmer..i could be mistaken thou.

Your trans was probably slipping, and the EDGE helps give it a firmer shift, which is healthier.

I checked their website and I thought it always said 4.6/5.4 but it doesn't even show that anymore.

I'd suggest to you to call EDGE and ask. They will tell you 100%. Just because a shop said it will work, doesn't always mean it will.

If EDGE says it won't work on a 4.2, I'd suggest you go to Powerhungryperformance's forum and look around. They have a tuner called Gryphon which is a rebadged EDGE from EDGE specially made for Bill at PHP. I'm pretty sure he can program it to run on a 4.2

ok,ya i prob will give them a call cause the website dosn't even give me an option for a 4.2l,that being said does anyone know a good programmer to run with the 4.2?
