Edge Products New Juice Platinum With Attitude

Edge Product adds even more features to its popular Juice With Attitude line of diesel power modules with integral monitors/controllers. The new Juice Platinum system for the 6.0L Powerstroke increases engine output and monitors powertrain vitals while adding a horde of new attributes, including a Turbo Timer, expanded transmission control and even trouble-code retrieval and clearing.

The Turbo Timer is the latest in a long list of engineered-in Edge safeguards. This feature prolongs turbo life by allowing the truck to run after shut-off for a predetermined time or until a specific EGT is reached. Carryover protective features include automatic defueling to prevent excessive EGT, boost and transmissions slip; cold-start protection; and audible danger-zone warnings for EGT, speed, boost, and engine and trans temp.

Several new automatic-transmission controls are included in the Juice Platinum With Attitude. Shift firmness and torque converter lock-up points are now user-selectable, as are defueling percentages to prevent slip during shifts and converter lock-up.

Also new in the Platinum series is diagnostic capability. This new Edge 6.0L system can read, describe and delete Check Engine codes. Speed-related function are also expanded: The Juice Platinum With Attitude removes the factory speed limiter (for race applications only) and captures 0-60 MPH and quarter-mile acceleration times. It can also be programmed to show correct road speed when using non-stock tires or axle gears.

Under the hood, the Juice Platinum module adds up to 100 extra HP and 240 ft-lb of torque, spread over five power levels. The Attitude controller allows switching between power modes on-the-fly. The Attitude is also a powertrain monitor, using an LCD screen to show the same information as a full set of aftermarket gauges, including: RPM, boost, EGT, engine time on, engine and trans oil temps, coolant temp, intake air temp, load and throttle percentages, trans-slip percentage and converter lock. MSRP is $1099.
