If I install the edge programmer on my 2001 f250 diesel 7.3 will it improve transmission shifting performance?

The programmer was good in the beginning, the transmission shifted perfectly towing my 5th wheel but later on it caused My engine to stall. I called the support guys and they had never heard of that problem before but there seems to be issues with edge programmers and ford trucks. I am currently shopping for a different programmer.

I have been very pleased with the performance makes the truck come alive. I have noticed that the truck shifts better. It all depends on which setting you are in. #3 gives best mpg and great for Highway driving or showing off but shifts seem harder when just city driving. I use #2 setting all the time shifts feel good and major performance compared to stock plus 2-4 mpg's better. I only use # 1 when towing and seems fine. Hope this helps.

It has basic settings that improve the shifting, but I think it's a little hard shifting. But it has the capabilities to adjust the shifting to where you'll like it ...

Yes, primarily in lower gears. It dose not, however, improve gas mileage--despite the claims.

You can definitely feel the shifts are quicker and firmer. The biggest difference by far is the extra 100 HP and torque. It absolutely is the best mod I did for my 02 F350. Gas mileage went up about 5% too. Not much but when it turns your truck from docile behemoth to a sports truck AND gives better mileage it is a win win.

It has 3 presets for trany control shifting. Then there is manual setting to where you can tell it when to shift by either rpm's or lbs on the shift point of each gear. It's pretty slick set up.

yes that module should be reprogram in dealer or if you have the tech2 scanner can reprogram with it, i work with it in a gmc savanne 3500 with problem in trans shift incorrectly and was fixed with new module and reprogram

I used it to replace my grip shift and it worked just fine. Depending on how well matched the gears and the shifter are, you may need to shift one past where you want to go and then shift back to get it to pop into gear properly if they are not perfectly aligned.

I don't know. it depends on what transmission you have and if you have the light duty pan or the deep pan.

Yes. Tranny doesnt matter. I bought this so that I could improve the shift points of the stock tranny. I didnt like how my Dodge was shifting when pulling our 5th wheel camper up hills. It was too quick to start grabbing gears. This chip really improved things. Not sure about power improvement as I was never after more power. My stock 5.9 has plenty of power.

I cannot speak for your engine, however with my 5.3, even with the program now removed. I still have to run 93 octane to keep the truck from skipping. Didn't do that before the programmer. Get a custom tune. You'll Be much happier

Susan, I added this to my 2000 GT Mustang automatic V8 a couple of years ago . My transmission was chattering during shifts. I added this, and it worked! I was told to try this by a Ford mechanic. Hope this helps.

I didn't have any luck with it on my 2010 JK it was very frustrating. I didn't notice any performance or economy difference. It did mess up my idle and low rpm it would miss and sputter after downloading the software.

The programmer us only able to be tuned to one vehicle at a time. If you go to the settings you can select "return to stock" and that will unlock the programmer from that particular vehicle. Then yes you would be able to program your 2012 6.7 without doing exhaust deletes. Its highly advised that you do deletes though, if not then everything fills up with soot faster and may cause blockage as well.

Not sure about the F150. I believe it does as I think Forbd used the same shifter on numerous vehicles

No, I was able to change the program on my Ford 6.0 L engine without purchasing any addition settings. I am enjoying about 10% better mileage carrying a 2500 lb camper.

I used this in a stock 2006 f250 v10. It seemed as though I got some power increase, but I didn't notice any significant change in mpg.

This unit 85250 will NOT work on a diesel. You would need Edge number 85200. Please feel free to give me a call if you need more information. Thanks, Dave monster performance 870-580-0940

Yes and no. It has a tow/haul mode, changes shift points and on my F350 dualie it really did not affect the fuel consumption, maybe a few tenths. Depending on what year you have will affect how much it helps on braking. Mine, when you left off of the throttle for a certain amount of time it does something with the braking. I forget what they call it, but on mine it is not an exhaust brake. But that has nothing to do with the Evolution. I have not seen anything in the manual that mentions anything about affecting the braking of the truck. The Evolution has 4 modes or levels of tuning. Zero is just the factory settings but you can monitor certain modes, like boost, volts speed, ect,. 1 changes some shift points, 2 is for better mileage, that's where I run mine if I am not towing the 5th wheel and 4 is extreme performance. I'm not trying that one, don't need that for my F350. Hope this helps you, but that is all I have done with mine. I know it does what Edge claims it will do and that is good enough for me.

YES ,it will help you get better reception and adjusting swr to as low as possible will help you with the transmission too.

I purchased the 2865 for my 1999 Chevy 1500 5.3. It really made a difference towing my camper. Love how it changed the shift points on the tranny.
