Default Edge Juice

I found a used complete Edge Juice with attitude for under $400, Think I'm gonna buy it. My truck is all stock and this will be my first tuner
Good choice/good price?
Is there a better tuner?

More than likely, you are going to hear that Smarty is the only way to go... That being said, If I found an Edge Juice W/ Att for that price I would probably buy it.

I really like my Juice/Attitude. "Hardest" part of the install is drilling and tapping the hole in the exhaust manifold for the EGT sensor. Thing I like best is the set-up is pretty much a "set and forget" affair. The Attitude lets you set different parameters, such as Exhaust Gas Temps, automatic trans/converter or manual clutch slippage, boost, etc. You set the values where you want the truck to de-fuel, and if anything gets out of kilter while yer out playing or towing, the Attitude automatically knocks the fuel back so you don't hurt anything. I feel it's a bit more fool-proof (and safer) than staring at a set of guages while going 75+ down the interstate.

If you decide you want even more power, sign their waiver, send them 100 bucks and you can get the "HOT" upgrade. It's well worth the money as far as power goes (i'm thinking 150hp - 400 lb-ft at the wheels for your truck, but not 100% sure) but chances are your stock clutch and turbo won't like you very much!

Their customer service is top notch too! I've had mine on my truck since 2005. I just recently had a small issue with it (5 years trouble free sure ain't bad). I contacted Edge, sent it back, and for $99 bucks, they diagnosed it, found the problem, gutted the module, upgraded all the circuitry, reloaded the HOT program, packed it into a box along with a brand new Attitude monitor and shipped it back good as new.

I bought it today. Paid $300 out the door and all I need is a exhaust probe. Called Edge for the probe, they want $30. Are there cheaper ones out there?
The attitude came with a pillar pod so I am a happy camper.
Warranty is up in 900 miles, cant wait

Good deal! Just make sure it's for your 04.5 truck. The ones for the 03-04 trucks aren't compatable.

i have the '03 cummins all stock just the edge and ive got to say there has to be better tuners out there. it just isnt as hot as they make it seem. i see guys that put on chip in their truck and haul *** just from that. and alot of them are driving 98 to 01 cummins.

03 and early 04's will take more tuning to get the same power outa them vs 04.5 on up. It's been proven many times on a dyno. But the early cr's have their advantages too.
