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 protection 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).

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 Dodge Juice

Thank you for purchasing the Edge Juice Module for the Dodge Cummins

Diesel®. The Juice module has been developed and produced from the highest quality materials available 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 Cummins®

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 via an in-cab 3-position switch (5 onthe-fly selectable power settings with the Attitude)

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 140

° F no additional fueling or timing is delivered. At 140

° F the module begins delivering fuel at 25% of the calculated additional fuel, and the percentage increases as the engine temperature increases, until at full engine temperature (174

° F) the Juice delivers 100% of the calculated additional fuel. At full engine temperature the Juice also starts modifying timing.

Connecting the Power Wire & Turbo Timer Wires

(If equipped with turbo timer option)

1. The red and yellow power wires connect in the fuse box under the hood.

You will need to open the lid to the fuse box to access these fuses.

RED WIRE – Power Wire

If your Juice harness has two yellow wires for the turbo timer, remove fuse 26, and re-insert the fuse with one of the supplied fuse taps, and connect the red wire to the fuse tap on the firewall side of fuse 26 (Figure 10).

If your Juice module does not have the two yellow wires for the turbo timer, you will need to remove fuse 50, and re-insert the fuse with one of the supplied fuse taps, and connect the red wire to the fuse tap on the firewall side of fuse

50.

If the fuse tap does not fit snugly, gently squeeze the terminal that slides over the fuse tap to make it fit more securely. Connect the red power wire to the

fuse tap making sure that you connect to the fuse post towards the back of the engine compartment, or the side closest to the firewall.

YELLOW WIRES – Turbo Timer Wires (If Equipped)

Remove fuse numbers 28 and 35, and re-insert them with the supplied fuse taps,

Make Sure the fuse taps are on the front side of the fuse, the side closest to the

front of the vehicle. If the tap does not fit snugly, gently squeeze the terminal that slides over the fuse tap to make it fit more securely. Connect the yellow wires to the fuse taps on fuses 28 and 35.

Figure 10.

2. Run the Attitude or 3-way switch wire through the firewall grommet near the steering column.

Final Inspection

3. Recheck all connections for a properly secure installation. Using the supplied wire ties, secure the wiring harness to prevent possible heat damage.

Start the engine. The engine should start and idle like a stock truck. If the engine does not start or run properly, turn off the motor, remove the keys from the ignition, then check the Juice module connections, making sure all connectors are fastened tightly. If failure conditions still exist, contact Edge

Products Technical Support.

Using the Juice

Adjusting Power

Levels

The Juice has three power levels which are adjustable via a 3-position toggle switch.

The Juice has three power levels to choose from. This picture shows the switch that changes these power levels.

The wire connected to the switch is long enough to allow installation of the switch in the cab of your vehicle.

-Level 1: 25 HP

-Level 2: 40 HP

-Level 3: 80 HP

Tab

Power Level

Adjustment Switch

The Attitude module allows five power levels plus stock. The Juice module was designed to allow the user to easily select an appropriate power level for normal driving or for towing.

It is recommended that you use the Tow/Haul transmission mode while towing.

This provides torque converter lockup in gear 3 reducing transmission heat, and also raising the shift rpm threshold to keep the rpm’s higher. It is recommended that you maintain engine rpm above 1800 while towing. When 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. You can also opt to limit the EGT with the

Attitude monitor to maintain lower EGT levels.

When the module detecs transmission slippage, it automatically defuels your vehicle to prevent slippage. If you detect a power loss during hard acceleration, this may be the reason.

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 Super Flow 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.

Making Sense of It All

This section is designed to help you understand how the additional power will change your driving experience as well as help you figure out what power level will best suit your driving style.

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. Power level one is specifically designed to maximize fuel economy improvements. (if you can put off the little guy

on your shoulder telling you to ‘step on it hard’).

If you are towing, the beauty of the extra power the Edge module delivers is that not only will be able 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.

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. Level 3 is designed to take advantage of the built-in safety margins the manufacture needs to add in order to make sure your vehicle can tow at its maximum capacity.

Levels four and five are race levels and are designed to be used with upgraded drive trains. If you have modified your injectors, upgraded the transmission, changed turbos 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.

EGTs: What they mean and why

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. It is possible to generate excessive EGT on a stock truck, particularly if you are towing.

16


This is why we always recommend installing an EGT gauge and why we offer 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.

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 slippage 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 transmission if you drive too hard.

Technical Support

Edge takes a great deal of pride in the quality of our customer service. If you have any questions or concerns about your Juice module, please feel free to call us at

4. 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 inlet to operate properly. Drill the hole using a 21/64” or

5/16” drill bit, then tap it with an 1/8” NPT tap (see figure 4). 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.

22


Once the engine has been run, screw in the fitting and insert the EGT sensor by sliding it into the hole (see figure 4) and tightening the back end fittings (see

figure 3).

Dodge Juice/Attitude Manual

Max EGT Set Point

Edge Products

The Attitude monitors EGT and will automatically defuel your truck at a specified max EGT set point. In our experience 1350 degrees is about as high as you want to let your EGTs go. As the exhaust gas temperature approaches the EGT set point, a percentage of defueling occurs. This percentage is represented by the backdown value you can display on your screen. When this value reaches 100% the fueling delivered by the Juice module has been totally disabled. However, stock fueling will allow the truck to reach stock EGT levels which may exceed the preset Max EGT Set Point which you established in the Attitude.

Important Note: Any other high performance modifications in addition to the

Juice can allow the fueling to exceed stock EGT levels even after 100%

backdown is reached, which may result in dangerous EGT levels.

The backdown percent represents the amount of defueling that is occurring when the max EGT level is reached.

After selecting the Max EGT Set Point option from the Juice Configuration screen

(previous steps), the following screen appears:

37


1. Change the Max EGT set point by pressing the up and down arrow keys to select the maximum temperature that you want your exhaust gas temperature to reach, then press [Enter]. When the exhaust gas temperature reaches this value, the power delivery will be decreased to prevent the temperature from exceeding this set value. On the Cummins 600 Juice/Attitude module, default values are set for EGT and Boost maximum values. Increasing these above the default value set by Edge Products introduces the risk of damage to your truck. Please note also that disabling the backdown disables both

EGT and Boost backdown protection.

MAX Boost Set Point

The MAX boost set point adjusts the point at which the Attitude begins to backdown fueling due to boost. This is adjusted exactly like the EGT set point, and the screen looks like this. Note that increasing the Max boost set point above

36 PSI increases the risk of damage to your turbocharger.

38


Disabling Backdown for Excessive Boost and EGT

There are times you may want to disable the Boost and EGT backdown feature for a limited period. You may disable the backdown feature for a period of 1-30 minutes.

Warning: Disabling this feature could lead to dangerous EGT and Boost levels.

To temporarily disable the backdown feature, perform the following steps:

1. While viewing the vehicle parameters, press [Enter] twice quickly and the following screen appears:

This number is the number of minutes you want to disable the EGT backdown feature.

2. The number on this screen represents the number of minutes the Backdown feature will be disabled. Press the up or down arrow keys to select the desired number of minutes you would like this feature disabled. (The number of minutes you do NOT want your power decreased because of high

EGT or Boost levels.)

3. After you have selected the number of minutes you would like the EGT backdown option disabled, press [Enter]. The screen will return to your previous view mode, and the Juice power level indicator will flash until the designated time for disabling has been reached. When the Juice power level indicator quits flashing, your set max EGT backdown level will go into effect.

When EGT backdown is disabled, the Juice power level display

flashes.

Low Boost Fueling Adjustment

After selecting the Low Boost Fueling Adj option from the Juice Configuration screen (previous steps), the following screen appears:

Select the power level for which you want to adjust the low boost fueling and press

Enter. When you press Enter, the following screen appears allowing you to select the Low Boost Fueling Adjustment level that will be unique to that level and every time you select that power level the fueling adjustment will be set to what you chose on this screen.

Adjusting the fuel at low boost allows you to adjust the response and smoke output before the turbocharger builds boost pressure in the intake. Select level 1 for the lowest level of response and smoke at low boost, and select level 5 for the highest level. You will see a significant change in vehicle response and smoke depending upon which level you select. To leave this screen, press the [Menu] button multiple times.

Transmission Setup

Selecting Transmission setup will bring up the following screen:

Edge Products

Select “Transmission Type” to choose the transmission that your truck has

If your truck is a

6 speed, choose the option that matches the position of reverse on your transmission

Select the Axle Ratio that matches your truck

41


Select the Trans. Slip De-fuel Setup that best suits your needs

Selecting No prevents the Juice module from defueling when the torque converter or clutch is slipping. This means that the Juice will provide the full amount of fueling even when the transmission or clutch is slipping. Selecting ‘Yes’ will enable de-fueling, causing the Juice to defuel whenever the transmission slips.

This eases the transmission strain because the Juice lowers its power output when the torque converter or clutch is slipping.

Note: It is recommended that defueling during torque converter or clutch slip be used for stock transmissions.

Transmission Slip

When the letter “N” appears in the Slip view mode (see below) your vehicle’s torque converter is NOT locked or (if your vehicle has a manual transmission) your transmission is not in a specific gear.

The letter N signifies that your torque converter is

NOT locked.

42


Turbo Cool Down Setup

(Note, If you have an early version Juice Attitude kit, this option will not be available)

This feature is only available with the Attitude monitor installed and allows the engine to continue running (after key-off) until one of two conditions are met. 1) if the EGT falls below the preset target EGT set point or 2) the time set expires. Press the brake pedal to override this feature and shut off the motor.

Use EGT

Use Time

NOTE:

The Turbo

Timer will not function unless:

1. At least ten seconds have passed after key on

2. After the ten seconds have expired, the

Juice has seen an RPM above

1100

43


WARNING: Due to potential exhaust buildup, do not use this feature if your vehicle’s motor will be running unattended in a garage or enclosed area.

WARNING:

IF YOU HAVE A STANDARD SHIFT VEHICLE MAKE SURE TO LEAVE

THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL, AND APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE

WHEN USING THE TURBO TIMER!!

Tire Size

Edge Products

If you have stock tires on your vehicle, there is no need to adjust the tire size in the

Attitude. After selecting the Tire Size option from the Juice Configuration screen

(previous steps), the following screen appears:

The numbers on this screen represent the circumference of your tire.

Adjust the tire size by pressing the up/down arrow keys. The table below will help you determine your wheel circumference by matching your tire size with the sizes listed. For example, if your tire size is 285/ 65/ 18R, the value (circumference) you enter into the Attitude is 2599.0. Another alternative is to measure your tire’s circumference by marking your tire and rolling it one complete revolution and measuring the distance then multiply the inches by 25.4 (i.e., 91.3 inches x 25.4 = 2319.0 mm). Some of the more common tire sizes can be found on the next page.

45


Width Ratio Rim Circumference

*IMPORTANT NOTE

If you have had your speedometer recalibrated for aftermarket sized tires, the Juice module’s transmission slip protection and mph display will not function properly.

If you prefer to leave the speedometer recalibrated, then make sure that the transmission slip protection is turned off to avoid improper de-fueling.

Glossary of Terms

Backdown – This is decreasing the amount of additional fueling. % Backdown is the percentage of additional fuel held back. The Juice/Attitude includes a feature to backdown the fueling to control critical parameters such as EGT and Boost.

Barometric pressure – This is a measurement of the atmospheric pressure, mainly due to your altitude (above or below sea level) and the current weather conditions.

Boost – This is how much additional air pressure is added to the intake/throttle body of the truck by the Turbocharger.

Defueling – This is decreasing the amount of fuel added to the motor (see Backdown). Both the

PCM and the Juice do defueling, but the Juice can only ‘Backdown’ to stock fuel. The Juice does not ‘Backdown’ below stock fueling.

EGT – This is an acronym for Exhaust Gas Temperature. This is the temperature of the burning gasses leaving the motor through the exhaust. Generally, EGT should not be permitted beyond

1250°F to prevent turbocharger damage.

Load – This is the percentage of total fuel supplied by the PCM.

Low Boost Fueling – This is a Juice setting controlling extra fueling before the turbo boost builds. The higher the setting, the more fuel the Juice adds

PCM – This is an acronym for Powertrain Control Module. This is the main onboard computer that controls the operation of the motor and transmission.

Pyrometer – See Thermocouple

Power braking – This is the process of revving the engine while keeping the brakes on. This is done to spool the turbo to a usable level (for racing).

Spooling – This is the process of generating turbo boost pressure by revving the motor.

Thermocouple – This is a device used for measuring the temperature of the exhaust gases.

Turbo/Turbocharger – This device pumps extra air into the engine intake.
