Evolution FORD Power Stroke 7.3 Liter 4 THE INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT INDICATES THAT THE BUYER HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THIS AGREEMENT AND ACCEPTS ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS. 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. WARNING! Programming your vehicle may expose existing defects in your vehicle’s PCM that could cause your vehicle to become disabled. It is strongly advised that you do not program your vehicle in remote locations in case of failure to properly program. If you have used another tuner/programmer on your truck, you will need to return your truck back to stock before using the Evolution. You will also need to remove any aftermarket chip you have placed on your truck before using the Evolution. NOTE: Failure to remove a plug-on chip before programming the PCM may result in permanent damage the PCM.

Evolution FORD Power Stroke 7.3 Liter 5 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR VEHICLE’S WARRANTY — PLEASE READ! 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. 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. 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 level two and hard driving in levels four and five are not recommended. 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. Any aftermarket company that does not acknowledge this is misleading you. Although you have strong legal protection as a consumer in regard to your vehicle’s warranty, the practical reality is that taking legal action against a dealer or manufacturer to fight a voided warranty is a costly and time-intensive process. For this reason, Edge strongly recommends you always disconnect and remove your module/programmer and monitor when you take your vehicle to a dealer for warranty work. It is also for this reason that Edge focuses the bulk of their product development efforts on producing modules and digital monitors that can be easily removed. Even if you remove your unit, you should note that dealers can detect the use of ANY programmer — Evolution or otherwise — even if the unit has been removed.

Evolution FORD Power Stroke 7.3 Liter 6 About the Evolution Congratulations on purchasing the Evolution by Edge Products, the leader in diesel electronics 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 before programming your vehicle. Tow Program This setting is the lowest power setting. It is designed to provide a significant increase in horsepower and torque while still being safe enough to use for towing. While it isn’t necessary, a modified exhaust system will help improve overall performance and help reduce your EGT (exhaust gas temperature) levels. Race Program If you plan to tow with this program, it is strongly recommended that you make appropriate modifications to your exhaust system and install an EGT (exhaust gas temperature) gauge to aid in the prevention of potential damage to your engine. Note: This setting is legal in California only for racing vehicles which may never be used upon a highway. For more information, consult a qualified diesel mechanic. Extreme Program This program is not designed for towing. If you plan to tow, program your vehicle to the Tow program. It is strongly recommended that you make appropriate modifications to your exhaust system and install an EGT (exhaust gas temperature) gauge to aid in the prevention of damage to your engine. This setting is legal in California only for racing vehicles which may never be used upon a highway. For more information, consult a qualified diesel mechanic.

Evolution FORD Power Stroke 7.3 Liter 7 Stock Program It is recommended that you return your vehicle’s computer to the stock program prior to returning your vehicle to a service center. This will eliminate the possibility of interfering with any diagnostic equipment. Diagnostics The Evolution also has a powerful, built-in diagnostics tool. Now you can view any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that may be stored in your vehicle’s computer and make appropriate repairs. Once repairs are complete, you can also turn off that annoying “Check Engine” light. No more expensive trips to the dealer for a diagnostics scan.

Evolution FORD Power Stroke 7.3 Liter 8 Display and Keypad The following screen is a sample Evolution screen. Great effort has gone into making the Evolution programmer very simple to use. The arrow keys are used to scroll through options on the screen, and the <ENT> (enter) key is used to select desired options from a menu, or move to the next screen. The ESC (escape) key is used to return to the previous screen. Use the arrow keys to scroll through and select options on the screen. To select an option, scroll to the desired option with the arrow keys and press the <ENT> button. In the example below, Power Programming is selected. Use the <ENT> key to accept a selected option, or to move to the next screen. Use the <ESC> key to return to the previous screen.

Evolution FORD Power Stroke 7.3 Liter 9 Getting Started This manual is designed to help you understand the process of programming your vehicle as well as performing simple diagnostics on your vehicle using the built-in scan tool. There are also convenient troubleshooting tips included in this manual. If you experience problems using this product that are not covered in this manual, please contact our technical support line at (801) 476-3343. To handle your call quickly and efficiently, please have the product Part Number (ex. EEF1000), the current Version Number (ex. E1.24.15) and the Date of Manufacture ready prior to calling. This information is listed on the silver sticker attached to your Evolution programmer. IMPORTANT STEPS (Prior to Programming): • Make sure your battery is fully charged before programming your vehicle. • Do NOT unplug the Evolution while programming is in process. This could cause your vehicle to become disabled. • Some types of radio equipment, electrical accessories, and cellular communications devices can interfere with the programming process. Either turn off or remove all devices from the vehicle. • Close the doors on your vehicle and keep them closed during the programming process. • Set the parking brake on your vehicle to deactivate the daytime running lights. • Remove any other electronic power enhancing modules from your vehicle before programming. This includes aftermarket programmers and chips. IMPORTANT NOTE: ALWAYS Disconnect your Evolution while your truck is not in use. The Evolution does not turn itself off and uses the power from the truck’s battery. Failure to unplug the Evolution is equal to leaving your dome light on and could drain your battery.
