Warranty, Fuel Economy and Particulate Trap Removal with a Edge Programmer On a 2008 Ford 6.4 Diesel

Expert Reply:

Your warranty is protected by the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act, which states that unless the modification to your vehicle caused the problem your warranty must be honored. This being said you will need to use common sense precautions when using this or any other performance product on your vehicle.

Your fuel economy can be increased depending on your driving style and the loads you require the vehicle to carry or tow. For the best economy use the lowest setting on the edge programmer. Edge does not offer a figure for miles per gallon increase because of the many variables affecting the vehicles performance.

The particulate trap does not need to be removed when installing the edge programmer. The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is cleaned in two ways and will be cleaned by the vehicle under normal driving conditions or by the vehicle system when normal driving does not allow for cleaning. I have included instructions (see link) that go into detail on how the DPF is cleaned and how the edge monitors this process on your vehicle.
