AFTERMARKET PRODUCTS AND YOUR VEHICLE’S WARRANTY
Many of our customers ask, “Will your product void my vehicle
manufacturer’s warranty?” While the answer is straightforward from a legal
standpoint, we also want to educate our customers (and after-market
consumers) on some industry realities and offer some common sense
precautions to minimize your risk.
Consumers of aftermarket products are protected by The Federal
Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act. The Act states that if something breaks on
your car and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your
warranty unless they can prove that whatever modifications you have added
to your car actually caused the problem. Please keep in mind that towing in
anything higher than level two and hard driving in levels four and five are
not recommended.
While as a consumer, you have strong legal protec tion with regards to your
vehicle’s warranty, there is also a practical reality that different automotive
manufacturers and dealers have greatly varying views on aftermarket
products, in particular those that produce horsepower, such as performance
enhancement chips, modified intake manifolds, or aftermarket exhaust
systems. There are dealers and manufacturers out there that will use the
presence of a horsepower upgrade to void your vehicle’s warranty. They
will do this regardless of whose product you are using. Any aftermarket
company that does not acknowledge this is misleading you.
The bottom line is that while the law protects the consumer and provides for
enforcement of the warranty, it is very difficult for most people to hire an
attorney and fight a voided warranty. Edge recommends that you always
disconnect and remove your module and monitor when you take your
vehicle to a dealer for warranty work in order not to interfere with
diagnostic equipment.
This warranty is void for any new products purchased through
auction websites. Warranty is valid only for new products
purchased through Authorized Dealers (proof of purchase
required for all warranty claims).

GM Juice/Attitude Manual Edge Products
All Edge modules and programmers are built to operate with OEM
calibrations. When you take your vehicle to a service center they may, by
your request or otherwise, update your vehicles calibrations. Therefore it
is important that you return your vehicle to stock before taking it in for
service. Edge updates its active products (i.e. those currently being
manufactured) to work effectively with updated OEM calibrations.
However, this process can take some time as Edge is not always made
aware of calibration changes made by the OEM. In the case of
discontinued products, Edge cannot ensure that your unit will work
effectively if you take your vehicle to a dealership and you are given, by
your request or otherwise, a new calibration.

About the Chevy/GM Juice
Thank you for purchasing the Edge Juice Module for the Chevy/GM
Duramax Diesel®. The Juice module has been developed and produced
from the highest quality materials availab le to ensure the best performance
for years to come. If you have any questions, please contact Edge Products.
We will be very happy to answer your questions about our complete product
line.
The Juice Module is an add-on Engine Control Module (ECM) for the
Duramax® Engine that offers additional features not available with the
factory setup. Since it is an add-on ECM, it uses all the factory data, and
then enhances the factory settings to optimize your truck’s performance.
These features include:
• Engine temperature monitoring and power increase from the Juice module
as engine reaches operating temperature
• Three selectable power level settings when using the Juice with the
supplied toggle switch(6 on-the-fly selectable power settings with the
Attitude)
• Transmission slip monitoring - If any transmission slip is detected power is
decreased to prevent the transmission from slipping
The Juice module offers a large power increase over stock throughout the
rpm range, but the power is most noticeable in the midrange rpm’s. This
greatly improves drivability and towing performance. Transmission
downshifting is greatly reduced, especially while passing or towing.
The Juice also regulates power delivery and timing based on engine
temperature. This means that while the engine temperature is below 130° F
no additional fueling or timing is delivered. At 130° F the module begins
delivering fuel. The Juice delivers 100% of the calculated additional fuel at
150° F, and at 160° F the Juice also starts modifying timing.

Harness Connector – Your Juice module is equipped with a
harness that can be disconnected at the Juice module itself (See
figure 1A). It is important to make sure that your juice module is
always connected to the harness when the wiring harness is
connected to the truck, otherwise the truck may not run properly, or
may trigger engine “codes.”

Mounting the Juice Module
1. The Power Edge Juice Module can mount on top of or to the side of the
black plastic fuse box cover located on the driver’s side fender (Use caution
when mounting the Juice on top of the fuse box as the Hood may sometimes
come in contact with the module). Attach the module using the supplied
Velcro, allowing enough harness movement for removal of the fus e box
cover.
Connecting the Harness
2. Disconnect both stoc k
connectors by squeezing the ears
on the backside of the connector
and pulling the gray lever.
3. Gently insert the Juice
connectors and lock in place with
the gray levers, and then gently
connect the stock connectors to the
other end of the Juice connectors.
Notice: Use caution when inserting connector bodies. If the connector does not slide
smoothly, remove the connector, inspect the pins, and retry installation.
Final Inspection
4. Recheck all connections for a properly secure installation. Using the
supplied wire ties, secure the wiring harness to prevent possible damage.
5. Start the engine. The engine should start and run like a stock truck. If the
engine does not start or run properly, turn off the motor, remove the keys
from the ignition, then remove the juice module and inspect the pins inside
both connectors. Straighten pins or clear foreign material from the pins and
connector surfaces, and then re-install the connectors. If failure conditions
still exist, contact your dealer or Edge Products, LLC. When trying to
restart, make sure that the key has been turned off for at least 10 seconds
before cranking the engine.

Using the Juice
Adjusting Power Levels
The Juice has three power levels. The Juice module was designed to allow
the user to select any of the three power levels on the fly with the supplied
three position switch. Level 3 is with the switch towards the tab.
Towing
It is recommended that you use the Tow/Haul transmission mode while
towing. This provides torque converter lockup in gears 2-6, which reduces
transmission heat and also raises the shift rpm threshold to keep the rpm’s
higher. It is recommended that you maintain engine rpm above 1800 while
towing.
While towing, the Juice module allows the engine to pull many grades in the
mid rpm’s rather than having to downshift and pull them in the high rpm’s.
This provides for lower EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) with the same
power output. EGT rises significantly with rpm--especially above 2500. It
is highly recommended that you install an EGT gauge while using the Edge
Juice. The Edge Attitude monitor displays EGT’s and can limit the EGT to
a user definable set point by reducing additional fueling. This is a great
safety feature that comes only with the Edge Attitude.
Notice: It is recommended while towing you use power levels 1 or 2 due
to EGT and transmission stress

Power Gains
The following power gains are representative of an actual test vehicle.
These gains were measured on a SuperFlow Dyno at an altitude of 4400 ft
above sea level, and represent power delivered to the rear wheels of the test
truck. The only modification made to the test truck was the addition of the
Edge Juice module. Power gains may vary somewhat on a different vehicle
or in different geographic settings.
Horsepower Torque
30 60
40 80
50 90
Warning: It is strongly advised that you do not combine, or “stack”
chips to gain more horsepower.

Making Sense of It All
The first thing you will probably notice, especially if this is your first time
driving a diesel truck with a performance module, is that this is a whole
different animal. You will experience more power, quicker take-offs, better
passing and acceleration, and even better fuel economy.
If you are towing, not only does the extra power the Edge Juice module
delivers enable you to maintain speed going up a hill, but the added power
will also keep you in a higher gear, so your transmission will not keep
“hunting” for lower gears. We recommend level one or level two for towing
applications. Only use level two if you are towing a light load.
The remaining power levels are designed to match fueling with any
additional upgrades you may have done to your vehicle. Level 3 is as far as
you should go on a stock truck and should never be used while towing.
Levels four, five, and the optional power level 6 are race levels and are
designed to be used with upgraded drive trains. If you have modified your
injectors, upgraded the transmission, installed an aftermarket turbo or
performed other similar enhancements, levels four and five will match
fueling to the additional performance created by these upgrades. On a stock
truck, it is possible to overstress the engine and transmission while driving in
levels four and five.

EGT
EGT stands for exhaust gas temperature, and is the single most important
indicator of how a diesel engine is performing. Unlike a gasoline motor, a
diesel motor will continue to make power as more fuel is added. As more
fuel is added, heat will be generated until the motor just gets too hot and
things start to melt. This is a situation you want to avoid. Exhaust gas
temperature is the ideal measurement of how hot the motor is, since
temperature fluctuations in exhaust gas are almost instantaneous. Just so
you know, it is possible to generate excessive EGT on a stock truck,
particularly if you are towing. This is why we always recommend installing
an EGT gauge, and why we built the Attitude monitor, which monitors EGT
and will automatically defuel your truck when EGTs get too high.
In our experience 1350 degrees is about as high as you want to let your
EGTs go. Keep in mind, the stress on your engine created by the heat is a
function of both temperature and time. A brief spike to 1400 that lasts a
second is not that big of a deal. Pulling up a hill for several minutes at 1400
is far worse.
As you drive your truck in the various power settings, keep your eye on the
EGTs. Depending on how you drive and where you drive, you may find a
particular power level is more suitable to your power needs.
The Juice Module and your Transmission
The automatic transmission has a fluid-filled clutch-like device called a
torque converter. This device uses the spinning motion of the motor to drive
the transmission which drives your wheels. As the truck speed stabilizes,
the torque converter engages a mechanical connection which locks the two
halves of the torque converter, so the output shaft is going the same speed as
the input shaft. This mechanical linking of the two halves is called
Transmission Lock-up. If the motor produces too much power, this
mechanical lock-up can start to slip. When this slipping occurs, the Juice
module reduces the power output to allow the transmission to function
properly. This is a great feature that provides an extra level of protection for
your vehicle. Please keep in mind however, that if you run in level 4 or 5,
the additional power is so great that it is possible to overstress a stock
Allison transmission if you drive too hard.

Transmission Relearning
The Allison transmission is a “Smart” transmission. This means that it pays
attention to how smoothly the transmission is changing gears, and modifies
the shifting to improve drivability . When the motor delivers more power (by
adding the Juice module), the transmission has to ‘re-learn’ how to shift.
After first installing the Juice module, you may notice rough shifting. The
best way to re-teach the transmission is to set the truck in the power level
you will be using most of the time. Then set out to drive, some city, some
highway, varying the driving and the speed. A good rule of thumb would be
200 to 300 miles. You will notice the shifting becoming better, and your
truck responding better to the additional power as you go through the
learning cycle.
