In those cases, Custom Tuning is the only solution to achieve the desired shift strategy.

The WOT Shifting adjustment won't do you any good except at wide open throttle. (In know, kooky huh? ) However, you should be able to raise the standard shifting to something a bit more suitable for your needs. The Evo should provide enough adjustment to give you a reasonable shift.

Hope this helps.

I have an EEF2100 cuase its an 02 F150. Does that still limit me to the same perameters?:sniffle:

I have a 15050 Ver: 4.7.7 Date of Man 12/7/07

and also

I have a 15050 Ver: 4.7.7 Date of Man 4/7/08

My mistake... I didn't even catch that you had a 2002. The downshift and converter options are not available on those. However, based on what you looking for, I'm pretty sure you can get most of what you need by adjusting the standard shifts up a little bit. If that doesn't give you enough adjustment, then it's custom tuning time.

Take care.

I think its custom tuning time anyways. I have read about it and have wanted it for almost 3 years.

I wish that my truck was a stick. I drive prodomintly in a tow tune at 91 octane. I love the low end torque. I am very rarely ever in performance mod due to the fact i dont know what i am going to do day to day. Im always pulling people out of the ditch up here in MT and tow on a week on and week off basis. So i hate reprograming back and forth.

Do you think that i could get a custom tune that would help my shifting needs?

Also is there any way to have some of the options that the eef2400 has that i dont??? Such as transmission temp? I know i dont have the sensor in the transmission but i have one ready to go in next time i drop the pan. Could that be read by the tuner in some wierd way. I doubt it as i would have to find some way off getting the info to the PCM. Worth a try.....

Actually, the transmission does have a sensor it's just that the PCM doesn't output the data as a degree value, but instead as a voltage.

Unfortunately, I have no way to modify the firmware on those units so I can't add or modify any features.

We can do custom tuning to address your shifting needs.

Hope this helps.

4- When it arrives, we will change the case from the gray/black one to an all black one (Edge had them made for us by the same company that makes theirs). We will also update the firmware at this time. Please be aware that some of the features exclusive to the Gryphon cannot be used on older Evos. Also, if you have a programmer for a 1997-2003 F-150 with version number E3.XX.XX or E4.XX.XX, we cannot adjust the menu. Therefore, on these units, the menu will still read:
Level 1 - Tranny Only
Level 2 - 87 Tow
Level 3 - 91 Performance
even when you have downloaded your custom tunes.

I was reading this from earlier and it says that you can not update the menu to say the name of hte custom tune.

Is this still true???

Im not aware that edge makes a tuner for a 97-03 that is higher than E4.XX.XX or do they.

If they dont would i be able to buy a newer model year edge say for a 2005 and send that to have custom files for my 02 put in it?

I know im hounding you with all sorts of what i think are stupid questions. I just what to do this the right way for me from the start.

Thanks a bunch bill.

No more thoughts????

[Power Hungry]

Thoughts? This late at night?

The 97-03 now uses part number 15050 with a firmware version of 2.50.5720 and a calibration version of 1.0.5980. These versions have dynamic menus and are ultimately upgradeable as new features come out.

Any Evolution that has a version of E4.xx.xx is old hardware and the firmware is no longer being updated, although calibration updates are still supported on those units.
