Default Edge Juice W/A crank, crank, crank

I noticed that if I wait til the Juice boots up the engine doesn't fire right away and it cranks a lot longer. If I don't wait and start it right away she fires right up.
Should I be concerned with this? Anyone else run into this?

It's set on level 3 LBF 3

Hut,

Ive run the Juice on a couple trucks now, and never had an issue like this. I am running the EZ on my 06 and no problems, but I am not sure if you should be concerned or not....I doesnt sound like it should do that though. I have a direct line to Edge, I will make an inquiry for you and get back to ya!

Thnx like I said if I start right away it fires quick but if the juice beats the grid heaters it seems to crank longer. I suppose it could be something else that the juice is accentuating. I was thinking poor fuel or fuel filter but it seems like if the filter was bad it would start quick then struggle after it uses the fuel up. I'm putting a new filter in this weekend so I'll see what it does.

Help me understand something Hut...you say before the juice starts up, but im confused...the juice should be active as soon as you turn your key.

Can you elaborate a bit please?

It seems like if I wait until the attitude starts (the screen starts to display correctly) it takes longer to fire but then again maybe it's not that at all and is more of a random thing. I started noticing a couple weeks ago, right after I installed the edge stuff :confused:

Yes I have it set to wait until 350F for shutdown.
I did change the fuel filter last weekend and it has only done the long crank time thing once out of about 20 some odd times.

mine was doing the same thing as yours and i got to noticing that if i turned the juice down to stock before i shut the truck off that it would still do it just not as often....but i was talking to one of my friends about it and he said he had ran into the same problem on another truck and he had called edge about it i belive and he as me if my turbo timer was on which it was just like yours set at 350 and he told me that was my problem so i turned it off and havnt had the problem but once since....but my truck done it when it was stock too, but turnin the turbo timer off really helped it i can leave my juice turned up now without the long crank

cummin_un_glued,

Thanks for the reply, I think I;ll shut my turbo timer off and shut it off manually for awhile and see how that goes.
I was also thinking about going through and unplugging/reconnecting everything just in case it might be a high resistance connection somewhere but not sure. I was pretty cautious about that at the time of install. Other than a long crank time once in awhile everything seems to be in order.

yeah if that dosnt totally fix it then your truck may be like mine and just do it on its own and it not being the juice that is causing the long crank

i know there are some reflashes for the 06's but i havnt heard of one for the long crank yet if i ever do hear of one i'm takin mine in to get it
