Which setting on the Edge Programmer gets the best mileage?
1?
2?
3?
Custom shift points?

Thanks!

Looking for real world proof. I know what the instructions say but when I called edge, the guy told me #3...

Well, I want to hear what other Expy owners with 5.4 say.

What is the best Edge setting and what is your mileage????

I thought that #1 was "trans only" which does nothing to the engine settings, it just firms up the shifts.

I've had mine on 2 since I got it. The only tweak I made was to bump up the shift firmness a few points.

I leave mine on level 2 ..not sure what I'm going to run once I put the small snow tires on :(
seems to give me the best MPG level 3 cost to much in fuel $$$ it would have to get alot better MPG to even the Difference in price of gas.

Question for you I leave mine on setting 2. How did you adjust your shift firmness? I read the owners book but My edge dont give me the option to customized things.

You do a custom program when it asks, "customize, or something like that".
Then you can adjust 1-2 shift, 2-3 shift etc.

Have you adjusted your shift points?

I noticed the converter locks up at 45 mph... Kind of annoying since the speed limit is 45 and it goes in and out constantly...
