I put my edge in and immediately put it on level 3.
Floored it from a stop and it reved all the way up to about 5500 and then jerked the truck real bad, not before slipping a little though...Did this 2 times in a row...I laid off it and tried it again and it went away, only running a 9.08 on level 3 though! WHY???

Why would it slip so bad? Was the transmission learning? Any ideas why my truck would still be so slow?

I would adjust a few things....5500 is too high. I beleive the TQ Converter starts to baloon above 5400.

What is your shift firmness set at??


9.08 0-60??? that is way slow.....

91 Octane. Level 3. Volant CAI is all I have done to it. I didnt touch the "Create a Custom Tune thing"
The first time i did touch the "Create a custom" but i left everything the same....After it jerked the 2nd time i re-did it and made sure i left it at "no" when the create option came up...5500 seems really high, cause the engine is revving but there is really no power behind it anymore...(i can tell its no long pulling hard)
So I should lower the rpm to what? 5000? Should i use the create a custom option thing?

A guy over at PHP just noted in my thread that i should run it on level 2 not level 3 cause of the cai right now...true?

SinCityFX4

Yes. Bill warned me as well as to not run the level 3 on the Gryphon because of the CAI. I have not used any of those canned tunes since I have the Livewire VMP tunes running and am getting ready to load up and try the PHP tunes.

My highest shift point is 5200 with my limiter set at 5300. I think..it's been a while since i really looked into my settings tough. The truck is having some audio work done to it so I cannot check right now, but if you need me to I will look into it.

CAIs lean out a truck too much on a stock Edge UNLESS you get a custom tune from PHP.

To fix that though you could bump your WOT Fuel% up right? You could also kick the timing down a little. I had trouble with mine making a pinging noise the first time I ran the programmer but I changes about 3 things so I think its fixed now.

with all of these readily apparent issues with the edge tuner, especially the transmission issues, why do you guys continue to use it?

BayouSupercrew

Because most of the time its not the tuners fault, its the users....and lack of research.

The guy over at PHP you mention was the lead engineer on the edge before he opened PHP, he knows more than any of us will ever know about tuners. His name is Bill, take what he says as Bible.

A good example is the over aggressive shift pressure....or the sky high shift points.

Oh yeah....been tuning Fords long before even most of the bigger names out there
