The Juice is not a chip.

It is also not a programmer. No tunes available.

It does nothing for your transmission. If it no longer shifts, then further diagnosis is necessary.

Edge's website lists power levels on the CS and CTS Juice with attitude programmers... Am I reading that wrong?

I agree, if you lost transmission function, I wouldn't say its the programmer... I would disconnect the Edge, then see if the problem remains.

The fact remains that the Juice (regardless of whether or not it has the smaller Attitude monitor or is the the CS/CTS variety) IS NOT a PROGRAMMER. It is an inline fueling module that in the case of the 7.3L Powerstroke does NOTHING but fool the injection control pressure signal to the PCM. That's it. Nothing more.

Yes, you can use it in conjunction with an actual programmer (like an Evolution), or with an actual chip from any number of vendors. Just don't expect any power gains above and beyond what the programmer or chip would give you. At that point, you'd have an expensive display that shows RPM, boost, and EGT.
