Moved: Dont load edge update
Don't Load Edge Update
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I loaded the new update today, installed level 3 like I have many times before and my truck wouldn't start. I figured there was a problem with the update, so I went back to stock. Guess what, it still didnt start. No matter what I do, I cant get it to start. No reply from edge yet (didn't really expect one today) but it looks like I'am going to have to pay Ford to fix this. I can't wait to hear the mocking from them. Anyway, just a warning to those with the Edge.

I am currently at a loss as to what has caused this condition but it is under intense investigation right now.
In any event, if anyone is having a no start condition after updating their Evolution, give me a call as soon as possible so we can get your vehicle up and running again.
I will be in the office until at least 8:00 PM tonight and you can reach me directly at (801) 337-2162.
Please have your Evolution and your PC handy so we can get through this as quickly and easily as possible. Also, if you have a portable (or cell) phone please try to call on that so I can stay on the line until the PCM is recovered.
I know this situation has everyone frustrated, including me, and I apologize for any inconvenice that this situation may have caused. However, with a little patience we'll get this worked out.
Note: If anyone has seen other threads on this condition, could you please forward this message along. I'd hunt them down, but frankly I'd rather spend the time trying to fix the problem. I appreciate it.

An opinion based on common sense is that the **** co. or any other company for that matter, should never have gotten into all this public display before as much has been worked out and tested before release to the general public.
I had worked very large main frame computer operations and the program upgrades were tested before release and tested again in the machine to detect compatibilty problems and get fixes if needed before ever booting over an operating system with all the consequences and rath that result.
From all I have been seeing,
i'm glad it's not me trying to develope product this way.
There are some who will take offense at this but it is the truth of the matter.
The end user is left with the rath and consequence; not good.
There are enough other problems to deal with without inviting more.

Ever hear about Windows? Every version released is a beta.
If we had to wait for a perfect version of Windows we would be posting this with DOS.
Most companies work this way. It's the ones that release something, never to be heard from, with no updates, is the ones I want to stay away from.

Good reply.........you beat me to it. I work in designing industrial machines and all I have to say is, with all the programming issues we run into, we deal with version updates and service packs on a weekly basis.....it's a PIA, but with the ever changing technology of today I don't think there is any company that can get there product out there and stay ahead of it.........I just have a lot of respect for those that put their product out there and do a good job of trying to keep up with it.

Thanks Mike
Nice programmer, just to much updating and flashing for me....
Best of luck to everyone who's trucks will not start and can't return to stock, I don't even want to think about how FLAMING HOT I would be....

Did you read the post where the Edge people have got everyone up and running?
No?
I didn't think so.
Reminds me of a troll.

It seems I will be in a dilema soon. Anyone who has read some of my recent posts will see that after I updated 2 updates ago, although I was having no problems, I thought that the performance was noticeably down from when I first got the unit. I had several emails back and forth with Bill and he was going to look into it after getting this latest update out. Well.........kind of ironically considering some other peoples problems.....my truck is running better than ever with this last update. I just got back from playing around a while and I have done several 0-60's, all between 7.2 and 7.4s.........which is better than I have ever gotten. I also did 2 1/4 mile runs, both directions on a "flat" stretch of road near my house. Did a 89mph 15.6s and a 90mph 15.4s1/4. Not to shabby for 4x4 Supercab? The hp calculator corrected for elevation (1200ft) puts me around 360-365hp? Wow.
Anyway, when the next update comes out, I may have a hard time convincing myself to download it. Hopefully, Bill will let us know if those of us that have not had a problem with the latest update need to do anything.
Also, after about a half a tank of fuel my AMPG seems like it might be in the ballpark (15.9)........I'll find out when I fill it up.
