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 vehicle, you will need to
program back to stock and remove the device before using the Edge Products
Device.
Failure to return to stock may result in PCM failure or engine damage.
Note: This manual consists of two sections, one for the Juice module and the other for
the Attitude monitor.
1. If you previously had purchased the Juice module and are adding the Attitude
monitor, you will mainly refer to the Attitude monitor section.
2. If you are purchasing the Juice with the Attitude, you will need to refer to both
sections.
About the Edge Juice
Congratulations on purchasing the Edge Juice module for the Ford 6.4 Powerstroke
Diesel®. 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 Powerstroke
Diesel® 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
5 on-the-fly selectable power settings if installing with the Attitude Monitor
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 135 F no additional fueling or timing
is delivered. At 135 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 (170 F) the Juice delivers 100% of the calculated additional fuel.
At full engine temperature the Juice also starts modifying timing.

Final Inspection
1. Recheck all connections for a properly secure installation.
2. Using the supplied wire ties, secure the wiring harness from possible damage from
moving parts under the hood.
3. Start engine. Engine should start and run like a stock truck. If engine does not start or
run properly, remove box and inspect pins inside connector. If conditions still exist,
contact your dealer or Edge Products, Inc. When trying to restart, wait 10 seconds
once key has been turned off.
Using the Juice
Towing
WARNING Do not exceed your vehicle’s max GVWR as outlined in the vehicle’s
owner’s manual. Doing so may result in loss of vehicle control and cause bodily injury.
Note: It is recommended while towing to use power levels 1 or 2 due to EGT temperature
and transmission stress
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.
Transmission Adjustment Period
The TorqueShift Transmission will learn and adapt its shifting strategy to adjust for
transmission clutch wear and operator driving styles. As a result, the adaptive shifting
strategy that the transmission learned is cleared and the shifting tables may be set to
default values. Immediately upon installing the Juice, you may notice that the
transmission shifts flare, or feel different than what you are accustomed to. The
transmission needs to re-learn its shifting strategy.

Important Regeneration Information
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. While this process is
happening you will notice a fluctuation in EGT, even while maintaining a constant load.
This process will occur as often as needed and is necessary for the proper operation of
your vehicle’s emission reduction system.
In order to help you know the status of DPF Regeneration, the Attitude Monitor will
display an “R” in the lower right corner anytime Active Regeneration is happening.
This displays whether the alert is on or off.
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.)
Active Regeneration
If EGT’s do not get hot enough to cause Passive Regeneration, then your truck’s enginecontrol 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.
Benefits the Juice has on the DPF system
The Attitude contains two useful features for monitoring your truck’s regeneration cycle.
The Attitude has a built-in audible alert notifying you when the cycled is initiated. Edge
strongly recommends you monitor and display the regeneration cycle in order to allow
for a proper and complete regeneration cycle. Since the release of the DPF on the 2008
6.4L Ford pickup, it has been confirmed that DPFs may clog and become unusable if
owners do not allow for a complete regeneration cycle. Even then, DPFs may still
become clogged and unusable under normal use, with OEM equipment or aftermarket
parts installed.
16
Juice and Attitude
Edge Products
How does the Juice Module affect the DPF?
The Juice Module 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. 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
Avoid short aggressive bursts of acceleration, this may cause a large build up off
soot, and the short sprints may not allow a regeneration cycle to initiate.
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.

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 the
screen. The percentage represents the amount of defueling that is occurring due to the
max EGT value being reached. In other words, fueling is decreased at higher
percentages. When this value reaches 100% the fueling delivered by the Juice module
will be totally disabled. However, stock fueling will allow the truck to reach its stock
EGT levels which may exceed the preset Max EGT Set Point which you set in the
Attitude.
CAUTION: Other high performance modifications (in addition to the Juice) can allow
the fueling to exceed stock EGT levels even after 100% defueling by the Attitude has been
reached. This may result in detrimental EGT levels and potential powertrain damage.
The backdown percent
represents the amount
of defueling that is
occurring when the max
EGT level is reached.
Once the max EGT is

then pressing [Enter]. When the exhaust gas temperature reaches this value, the
power delivery will be decreased so as not to allow the temperature to exceed this
set value.
Max Boost Set Point
As the turbo boost approaches the maximum boost set point, a percentage of defueling
occurs. This percentage is represented by the backdown value you can display on the
screen. The percentage represents the amount of defueling that is occurring due to the
max boost value being reached. In other words, more fueling is decreased at higher
percentages. 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 its stock
boost levels which may exceed the preset Max Boost Set Point which you established in
the Attitude.
Caution: Other high performance modifications (in addition to the Juice) can allow the
fueling to exceed stock Boost levels even after 100% defueling by the Attitude is reached.
This may result in detrimental Boost levels.

Shift Defuel Setting
With this option the amount of fuel delivered to the engine during the shift point is
reduced—thus decreasing torque during the shift point. This will cause less wear on the
transmission—and result in overall improved drivability. You also have the ability to
adjust the defuel setting from 0%-100%, at 100% the Juice module goes back to stock as
the truck shifts, then brings the power back on.
Transmission Slip Protection
This option determines if the transmission slip protection feature is on or off. If this
feature is ON and slip is detected across the torque converter (while locked), the Juice /
Attitude will reduce the amount of fuel delivered to the engine until slip is no longer
detected; if it is OFF the Juice will not defuel for any slip.

WARNING Some Codes are set as a result of using aftermarket products as
described in the above note. Some trouble codes may have safety implications. Do not
clear codes unless you are familiar with the code and concerns if not corrected. Use only
when necessary, and address all trouble code warnings.
CAUTION: Using this feature may prevent notification of trouble codes which could
result in powertrain damage. If a trouble code is set repeatedly and does not clear, the
user must take action to define and correct the problem. Failure to correct the problem
could result in powertrain damage. The user must become familiar with the codes and the
potential problems if left uncorrected.

Glossary of Terms
Backdown – This decreases 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 decreases the amount of fuel added to the Engine (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
hot burned gases leaving the engine through the exhaust. Generally, EGT should not be
permitted beyond 1450°F to prevent turbocharger damage.
Load – This is the percentage of total fuel supplied by the PCM.
49
Juice and Attitude
Edge Products
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 engine and transmission.
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 (or Pyrometer) – This is a device used for measuring the temperature of
the exhaust gases.
Turbo/Turbocharger – This device takes advantage of the hot exhaust gases to pump
extra air into the engine intake.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT 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, it’s important to educate our customers
(and all aftermarket consumers) on some industry realities and offer some common sense
precautions to minimize your risk. Edge is committed to providing quality products that are safe to
use. Our products do not cause damage to a vehicle when used as intended. Please keep in
mind that towing in anything higher than the towing level and hard driving in race or extreme
performance levels is not recommended.
Consumers of aftermarket products are protected by the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act.
The Act states that if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the
dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever modifications you have added to your vehicle
actually caused the problem in question.
However, the reality is that many dealerships have been known to void warranties on vehicles
that use aftermarket products as a matter of policy. This applies in particular to those aftermarket
products that produce horsepower, such as performance enhancement “chips,” modified intake
manifolds, or aftermarket exhaust systems, regardless of product brand.
You have strong legal protection as a consumer in regard to your vehicle’s warranty. However,
Edge strongly recommends you always disconnect and remove your module/programmer and
monitor when you take your vehicle to a dealer for warranty work. In addition, leaving the product
connected may affect dealer diagnostic analysis and CAN tool functions. Edge makes every effort
to produce product that can be easily removed. NOTE: Even if you disconnect your unit, your
dealer can detect the use of any programmer—even if the unit has been removed.
Thank you for purchasing the Edge Juice Module and Attitude Monitor for the Ford PowerStroke
Diesel®. The Juice and Attitude have been developed and produced from the highest quality
materials available to ensure the best performance for years to come. If you have any concerns
or questions, please contact us.
Note: 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).
