AFTERMARKET PRODUCTS AND YOUR VEHICLE’S WARRANTY
Many of our customers ask, “Will your product void my vehicle’s 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.
While as a consumer you have strong legal protection regarding 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/or remove any performance device or programmer
before you take your vehicle to a dealer for any service, 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).

Evolution 07.5-08 LMM Duramax
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.
Programming your vehicle may expose existing defects in your vehicle’s
PCM that could disable your vehicle. It is advised that you do not program your vehicle in remote locations in case of vehicle failure.
If you have used another tuner/programmer on your truck, you will need to program your truck back to stock before using the Evolution.
Failure to return to stock may result in PCM failure or engine damage.

About the Evolution
Congratulations on purchasing the Evolution by Edge Products, LLC, the leader in truck performance and power gain technology. The following manual contains information and instructions on the proper use of the
Evolution. Please read carefully before proceeding to program your vehicle.
Note: Read the product disclaimer and the Getting Connected section
before programming your vehicle.
Note: At the back of this manual, we have included commonly used
acronyms. This should help while using the Evolution.
Stock Program
The Evolution automatically makes a backup of your stock program from your PCM before writing a new program onto your PCM. This assures that you will have the stock program if/when you desire to reprogram your vehicle to its original stock program.
It is strongly recommended prior to returning your vehicle to a service center or emissions check that you return your vehicle’s computer to the stock program. In the event that the service center re-flashes your vehicle’s computer (a common practice) and you have NOT returned it to stock, your
Evolution programmer will be not work properly. If this happens, call our technical support at (888) 360-EDGE and they can help you recover your
Evolution for a small fee. Follow the steps included in this manual for returning your program to stock.
Economy Program
This setting is the lowest level setting. It has been specifically tuned for optimum fuel economy, we recommend using this level for daily driving.
Towing Program
This setting is tuned specifically for towing. When towing a load, we recommend you using this setting.

Forced regeneration
: The forced regeneration requires that you
enter a code every time you want to set the truck into a Regeneration cycle to clean the DPF filter. Your truck will go into a regen cycle on its own periodically; however should you need to clean out the filter for any reason, the forced regen is always an option. This option should be used with caution as well as used sparingly due to the elevated idle, and the large amount of fuel that will be used. In order for the forced regen to start, the truck must be up to operating temperature (160º+); once the regeneration period starts, the trucks idle will slowly elevate to 2500 RPMs. The idle will hold steady at 2500
9
07.5-08 LMM Duramax Evolution
RPMS, for approximately 30 minuets, during which time the exhaust vapors will be extremely hot, as well as the engine temperature, so use extreme caution during this period. Once the Forced regeneration period is completing, the idle will then fall back down around 1400
RPMs for a short period, then it will fall back at idle speed. a.
The Evolution will display several PIDs as the truck is manually regenerating. i. (ECT)- Engine Coolant Temp- Fº ii. (Stat)-DPF Status- On/Off iii. (INH)-DPF Inhibit Reason- Represented with a number iv. (DPFP)-DPF pressure- PSI v. (Soot)-Soot Mass -Grams vi. (EGT-1)-Stock Exhaust Gas Temp Sensor. vii. (EGT2)-Stock Exhaust Gas Temp Sensor viii. (Fuel)-Fuel Remaining % of fuel left in the tank
(readings may vary from that of the fuel gauge) b.
The PIN to activate the manual regeneration is- 3343; each time you would like to activate he manual regeneration period you must enter this code.
*** CAUTION ***
Exhaust temperature(EGT) will be greater than 300 C/572 F during service regeneration.
To prevent injury or property damage do the following:
1) Park the vehicle outdoors and keep people, other vehicles, and combustible material away from it.
2) Do not leave vehicle unattended.
3) Do not connect any shop exhaust hoses to the vehicle's tailpipe.

Evolution 07.5-08 LMM Duramax
*** CAUTION ***
Due to the elevated engine temperatures during this procedure open the hood and keep the front of the vehicle away from anything impeeding the radiator.
This procedure can be interrupted at any time in an emergency by swithing off the ignition. Depressing the brake returns the vehicle to idle speed.
*** Before proceeding ***
1) Check coolant and oil level before and after the procedure.
2) Engine and exhaust system damage can occur if used improperly.
3) Do not initiate service mode if non-DPF faults are present on the vehicle.
4) Oil changes may be necessary after running this service mode.
*** IMPORTANT ***
1) Do not leave the vehicle unattended.
2) Apply the parking brake.
3) Start the engine.
4) Transmission in park/nuetral.

Features
Diagnostics
The Evolution is also a powerful diagnostics tool. You can view any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) your vehicle may have, which in turn allows you to fix them. It will also allow you to turn off that annoying “Check
Engine” light when the problem has been addressed (no more expensive trips to the dealer for a diagnostics scan).
0-60 and Quarter Mile time
Another feature of the Evolution is the ability to determine your quarter mile times as well as your 0-60 times, 60 foot times, and has a unique Christmas tree starting sequence. This is very easy to use and not all tuners have this feature.
Alerts
A feature that might come in handy is the alerts. If you would like to know when a certain parameter, such as transmission temperature, reaches a certain value you can set an alert to that value. As the preset value is reached, the
Evolution’s screen will flash red and display which alert was triggered and the current value for that particular alert parameter.
Records
While the Evolution is displaying parameters of your truck it will record the highest value the parameters have reached. These records can be viewed and reset at any time.
Custom Options
While programming your vehicle, you have the option to change your tire size value, which can correct your odometer readings that result from changing tire sizes.

Evolution 07.5-08 LMM Duramax
IMPORTANT REGENERATION NOTE!!
Active Regeneration
Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF). This filter is used in conjunction with a diesel oxidation catalyst. Together they work to reduce the amount of harmful exhaust emitted from the tailpipe. As soot builds up in the DPF it will begin restricting the filter. The soot that gathers is automatically purged in one of two ways: Passive Regeneration
& Active Regeneration. Both methods occur automatically and require no action on your part. During either of these regeneration methods, you may notice an increase or change in the exhaust noise & increased EGT.
Passive Regeneration
Passive Regeneration occurs when the exhaust temperature (EGT) reaches an appropriate level in order to oxidize or burn soot to clean the DPF. This method happens as a result of normal engine operating conditions,
typically when the engine reaches an EGT high enough to burn off the soot
(i.e. heavy towing, high load conditions etc.)
If EGT’s do not get hot enough to cause Passive Regeneration, then your truck’s engine-control system automatically initiates an active regeneration. During active regeneration, the DPF is cleaned by raising the exhaust temperature to a point where the soot is burned away. This is accomplished through various engine actions which raise the EGT’s in the oxidation catalyst/DPF system to an appropriate high level where the soot is burned off. After the soot is burned off, the EGT’s and back-pressure
(restriction) fall back to normal levels.
HOW DOES THE EVOLUTION AFFECT THE DPF?
The Evolution utilizes aggressive fueling strategies in order to achieve horsepower gains. The added fueling may cause more instances of Passive
Regeneration. Additionally, depending on your settings/driving style, you may also see Active Regeneration occur more often than you would with a stock vehicle.
13
07.5-08 LMM Duramax Evolution
In order to minimize the number of times that your vehicle will initiate
Active regeneration;
• Avoid driving aggressively with the Low End Responsiveness set to
most responsive
• Avoid towing with the Low End Responsiveness set to most
responsive
• Avoid towing in levels higher than level 2
Important Note: It is the customer’s responsibility to watch for and ensure complete regeneration cycles. Edge Products’ devices do not adversely affect the regeneration cycle of your vehicle. Any vehicle exhaust- and emission-system issues are the sole responsibility of the vehicle owner and the OEM. No DPF warranties are expressed or implied.
Display and Keypad
The following picture is a sample Evolution screen. Great effort has gone into making the Evolution programmer very simple to use. The [UP] and
[DOWN] arrow keys are used to scroll through options on the screen. The
[ENTER] key is used to select desired options from a menu or move to the next screen. The [MENU] key is used to enter the Main Menu from the parameter display or return to the previous screen. This version of the
Evolution also has the option to change the backlighting color of the display to a wide range of colors.

NOTE: The evolution uses a LCD display which has inherent limitations in operating temperature. If your screen is black, blank, or distorted and the temperature is above 158 degrees F (70 degrees C), please allow the device to cool and then it should work correctly. At extremely low temperatures the display will update very slowly. Again wait for the device to warm to normal operating temperatures for the screen to function
properly.

Getting Connected
INSTALLING THE THERMOCOUPLE
It is necessary to tap a small hole into your exhaust manifold to insert the
EGT sensor. The EGT probe must be mounted in the exhaust manifold
before the turbo to operate properly. Drill the hole using a 5/ 16 or a
21/64” drill bit, then tap it with a 1/8” NPT tap. Once the hole is drilled and tapped, run the motor at idle for 10 to 15 seconds to clear the few remaining shavings from the manifold. Once the engine has been run, screw in the stainless fitting and insert the EGT sensor by sliding it into the hole (see
figure A) and tightening the back end stainless fittings.

INSTALLING THE EVOLUTION
The Evolution programmer connects to the diagnostic port of your vehicle.
Follow these steps to install the Evolution:
1. Begin by turning your ignition key to the OFF position. Locate the black diagnostic (OBDII) connector (Figure #1) under located directly to the left of the E-brake release handle. As you sit in your vehicle, it could be located to the left of your left knee. Sometimes the cover to this connector will be labeled “Data Link.”
Figure #1
2. With the driver’s side door open, remove the access panel on the left side of the dashboard (Figure #2) and pull the end of the ODBII cable outwards (shown in Figure #3). Remove the two Torx screws using a #15 torx bit, and snake the cable behind the panel with the vent up to the A-pillar. Replace the screws, and the access panel.
The cable should be protruding from the dashboard up along the Apillar and be able to move freely when pulled (Figure #4).

Evolution 07.5-08 LMM Duramax
Figure #2 Figure #3
Route cable along door seal, and along the bottom of the A-Pillar
Figure #4
3. With roughly 8 to 10 inches of cable fed through the dashboard, set the Pod onto the dashboard (shown in Figure #5) with the end of the cable protruding through the front of the Pod. Remove the
Dash Bezel by sliding your fingers behind it and pulling firmly toward the steering wheel. Slide the tab on the bottom of the pod behind the bezel, and snap the bezel back into place.
21
07.5-08 LMM Duramax Evolution
Figure #5
4. To secure the pod: locate the metal brackets and the pod in your evolution box. Note that the brackets are numbered and should be placed in the appropriate numbered locations inside the pod. Use the permanent double sided tape to secure the brackets to the inside of the pod, be sure that the numbers match.
NOTE: Be sure to check the position of the brackets while the Pod is resting in it’s desired location on the dash prior to attaching them to the Pod with the
double sided tape.
Clean the pod location on the dash with hot soapy water and rinse, or use 70% Isopropyl alcohol. Make sure dash is completely dry. Attach the supplied Velcro to the bottom of the mounting brackets in the pod. Leave the protective backing on the bottom piece of Velcro, and test fit the pod so you have an idea of where you want it. Once you have determined the appropriate positioning, remove the backing paper from the Velcro, place the pod in it’s desired location, and firmly press down on the brackets
(through the front of the pod) to secure the Velcro in place.
5. Insert the rubber gasket into the Pod, and connect the Evolution to the cable (Figure #6).

25
07.5-08 LMM Duramax Evolution
3. The Evolution will ask you to make sure the engine is off and the key is on.
4. During the first use, the Evolution will read the original calibration from your PCM and then build all the necessary programs. This step is skipped during all further programming operations.
5. The Evolution will erase your PCM and then write the selected calibration (level) onto the PCM. This process takes approximately 15 seconds to complete. If at any time you receive an error message, refer to the Troubleshooting section at the back of this manual for further instructions.
6. When the Evolution is done programming, the following screen will appear.
26
Evolution 07.5-08 LMM Duramax
Custom Options
When preparing to program your vehicle, you will have the option to change certain parameters. Choosing YES when prompted to “Create a custom program?” will load the Custom Options menu.
Custom Options are provided to allow for flexibility based on driver preferences. Any option customization done by the user is not warranted by
Edge Products. Please use at your own discretion.
The following customizable options are available:
Tire Size
The Evolution has the ability to correct for changes in tire size. If you have changed your tires to a different size the PCM will miscalculate vehicle speed which can affect shifting as well as the speedometer. Correcting the tire size will allow the PCM to accurately calculate vehicle speed and odometer readings. You will not need to change the value displayed if you are running factory size tires. After choosing to set your tire size, the follow screen appears:
27
07.5-08 LMM Duramax Evolution
The numbers on this screen represent the circumference (in mm) of your tire size. The default value the Evolution displays is the current value stored in the PCM. Adjust the tire size by pressing the [UP] and [DOWN] arrow keys.
The following table will help you determine your tire circumference by matching your tire size with the common sizes listed. For example, if your tire size is 285/ 65-18, the value (circumference) you enter into the Evolution is 2600. You may also use the formula provided to determine your approximate tire circumference. Finally, you may also measure your tire’s circumference by marking your tire and rolling it one complete revolution and measuring the distance in inches or millimeters. If you measure in inches, multiply the distance by 25.4 to convert to mm. (ex. 91.3 inches x
25.4 = 2319 mm). The Evolution supports tire sizes ranging from 2000mm to

Diagnostics
The diagnostics scanner included with your Evolution is a powerful tool that allows you to view and clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) on your vehicle, as well as record a data stream (5 parameters of your choice) for 1 minute. DTCs are the messages your vehicle’s computer stores when it detects a problem with your vehicle. The “Check Engine” light on your dash is activated by the presence of most DTCs.
If you selected Diagnostics from the main menu of the Evolution, the screen displays the following message:
Retrieving Codes
If you want to retrieve and view the DTCs on your vehicle, select the
Retrieve option. Make sure your ignition is in the ON position.
After selecting the Retrieve option, any stored DTCs will appear on the screen like the following example:
Press [MENU] to exit the DTC list and return to the previous menu.

Performance Testing
The Evolution allows you to test the performance of your vehicle by timing the 0-60 and the quarter mile times. It is helpful to remember these might not be results you would receive from actual races. Incorrect speedometer reading and tire slippage can cause slight miscalculations in the displayed results. To run these tests, perform the following steps:
1. Press [MENU] and the Main Menu screen should appear:
2. Select the Performance Tests option. The following screen appears:
3. Select the desired performance test (0-60 screen is shown below). If your vehicle is moving at this time, the Evolution will ask you to come to a stop.
33
07.5-08 LMM Duramax Evolution
4. For the 0-60 MPH run, press the accelerator pedal and the test automatically begins. For the ¼ mile test, you will be asked to press a key when ready. It will then cycle through a starting light sequence
(Christmas tree) and tells you when to go. As you drive, the screen should be displaying your current speed. When the test is complete
(the desired distance or speed is reached), the test will automatically stop and your time will be displayed on the screen as follows (quarter mile result example):
This will show how long it took you to cover 60 feet, 1/8 mile, and ¼ mile. In addition, your MPH at ¼ mile will also be shown (see the example above). The best run is stored for later viewing. You may also use the back of this manual to write down your times.
34
Evolution 07.5-08 LMM Duramax
At the end of a ¼ mile run, you will see a reaction time at the top of the screen. This time begins when the final yellow light is displayed.
The time between the final yellow and the green is a ½ second, so a perfect reaction time is a ½ second. The average person will see a response time of around 1 second. You’ll get an “Illegal Start” message if you start before the green and you’re screen will turn red.
You can still finish the run, but the screen will let you know that you started before the green light.
Note: Along with the best speed and time being recorded for viewing in the
Records section, your most recent run data will also be stored.
5. After the test is complete, press [MENU] to return to the Performance
Menu.

Troubleshooting/Tips
Tip: Programming your vehicle may expose existing defects in your vehicle’s PCM that could disable your vehicle. It is advised that you do not program your vehicle in remote locations in case of failure.
Tip: Keep in mind that the Evolution is a high performance product and that not all vehicles deliver the exact same power output when programmed with the Evolution. It is recommended that you select a program that will best fit your needs. Whether towing, or traveling long distances at high speeds, choose your power level wisely and keep in mind the condition and tolerances of your vehicle when selecting a suitable power level.
• NO DISPLAY WITH KEY ON – If you should get no display when turning the key on, check all of your fuses and make sure your battery is fully charged. Disconnect and reconnect the OBD-II cable to ensure the Evolution restarts properly. If the unit restarts but fails to stay on, or fails to turn on when the key is on, there is most likely a communications issue. Contact Edge Products Technical Support for further assistance.
• NO START – If you experience a “No-Start” condition after programming your PCM, return to the Power Programming menu and select Return to Stock. This will allow the Evolution to reprogram the
PCM with the factory calibration and recover the PCM. If, after reprogramming, you still have a “No-Start” condition, contact Edge
Products Technical Support. A member of our support team can further instruct you on possible recovery procedures.
• ERROR 40 or 39 – Connect the Evolution to the Fusion Software.
Choose ‘Yes’ to the screens that the Fusion Software immediately displays. Make sure the Fusion Software can connect to the internet.
