    How times have changed

    Hoss350, That was one of the most eloquently written comments I have read in quite some time!! It literally made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Kudos to you and hats off to our armed forces, both past and present!!!

    Edge Platinum VS. SCT

    Tom, I understand where you are coming from and honestly wish I had all the answers for you, but I don't. All I know is what he told me and when I got that info from him, the 05's were brand new, so I don't know what his opinion is of the new weight ratings for the 05-06 trucks. Perhaps he...

    Edge Platinum VS. SCT

    Tom, The difference is in such things as gearing..... The Tow Boss package for instance, has 4.30 gears, vs the 4.10's that my dually has. I believe the 450 and 550 also have lower gears than your 250 or my 350. Obviously, different gear ratios will cause the engines/trannies to run at...

    Edge Platinum VS. SCT

    This should be my last update on the Evo, since I now have it figured out........ I now have the settings where I want them and have driven it this way for a few days, giving it a chance to change if it was going to...... All I can say now is :sweet I am now all:D Just for kicks, I...

    Foglamps

    Are they the same?? No.... You can substitute the 9005 Silverstars for the 9145's though.:cowboy:

    Edge Platinum VS. SCT

    I appreciate your concern and am not saying it won't happen, since anything is possible. I will say this, I have talked to one of the best tranny guys in the business about the TorqShift. He has had some apart and evaluated the weak points. According to him, the TS can handle up to 100hp just...

    6.0L Questions

    In my '03, I can see as much as 28lbs under WOT if I am empty. Loaded, I have pegged the 35lbs boost gauge once. I have no idea what the max is on a later model. Hope that helps! :cowboy:

    Edge Platinum VS. SCT

    Ok, here is the latest...... I got the new unit Friday afternoon and loaded it. It went in like it should. I set it as follows: I manually set the axle ratio at 4.10 (which is what my axle ratio is), and the shift settings were set at "0" for the 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 shifts. The 4-5 shift was...

    Edge Platinum VS. SCT

    Well, here is the latest update, as promised: Just to be sure you know all the factors involved, I was using the "Trans only" tune in conjunction with my Juice (no Attitude). Initially, the shifting was great!! HOWEVER, as I got more miles on her, I started noticing the shifts were all...

    Edge Platinum VS. SCT

    The Evo comes with all three. I just loaded the trans only tune. Based on my first impressions, I highly recommend this for anyone who already has the Juice and is looking to firm up those shifts. I'll let you know if I find any bugs in it after a few days.

    Edge Platinum VS. SCT

    Not yet. For a while, it looked like Edge had lost it. They said they had no record of it at all. When I called them back on Monday, they did somemore digging and found it. It was shipped last Thursday and is due here on Tuesday. I will let you know how it works after I have had it...

    Oil Guard install

    Nice article!! Thanks!!

    Edge Platinum VS. SCT

    Yes, the Evo I was referring to is the new Evolution for the 6.0. Since I am still waiting on mine to get back from Edge, if you have one already, I would be curious to hear how you like the shifting with it and what settings you put the shifts to.

    Edge Platinum VS. SCT

    According to Edge, no. I talked to them about this directly. They did tell me that the Evo will work just fine with my current Juice and will give me the tranny controls that the new Platinum has, though. After much thinking (which was straining my brain ;) ) I opted to order the Evo from...

    Oil Guard install

    I have been thinking of adding this setup to my truck. Thanks for the rundown on your experience. I look forward to seeing the pics and hearing how you like it in the future.

    Mercon SP

    I have asked a couple of Amsoil dealers that very question and the answer is no. Amsoil does not make an ATF that is compatible with the TorqShift. They have no plans to make one either, since they have also heard of the rumored Mercon 1. They say there will be an Amsoil equivalent to the...

    Huge loss of coolant

    If you think the 6.0 is crowded under there, just wait until they shoehorn the twin turbos under the hood. I talked to a guy who has seen that setup and he says it's a tech's worst nightmare!!

    Mercon SP

    I'm not sure what the actual differences between Mercon and Mercon SP are, but I seem to recall reading where someone had a dealer put Mercon in their TorqShift by mistake. IIRC, they said the tranny shifted kinda harsh. That would seem to indicate to me that SP is "slipperier" (is that a...

    egr valve is anybody having problems

    These engines LOVE synthetic oil!! I have been running synthetic since it's first oil change at 5,000 miles. I have never experienced the oil related romps that others got back in the day... :sweet BTW, I had one EGR replaced at about 19,000 miles....... :cowboy:

    TorqueshiftTranny fluid question

    My owners manual says the TorqShift holds 17.5 qts with an external filter change. I would imagine it would be similar for the 05s as well, but your manual should be able to tell you for sure. Hope that helps!

    Geez, you guys make it sound like I was the only one pointing out the obvious to him..... ;) I tried PMing a couple of the mods over there concerning the whole EGR/Cat thing and got no where. Funny thing about that is, that area of TDS is supposed to be for just that type of discussion, but...
