Message: [QUOTE="Jeremy, post: 1313121, member: 848"] I bought one of these on a black Friday sale and just got around to installing it tonight. I put it on my 06 F250 SCT X3 and EDGE CTS, stock turbo Observations (I did not adjust the settings for my tests this was just out the box settings) 1. It does not override my SCT files when it is off. 2. The CTS works fine with it except the TC lockup doesn't display correctly on the screen. The PCM commands unlock and the display will show that, but the BD system is over riding it and keeping the TC locked. So that kinda sucks but its not the end of the world. 3. When the system is on the TC locks up and stays locked up...on or off the accelerator pedal she is locked up(again the CTS does not indicate this on the display) It holds locked up from 5th down to 3rd for sure I have'nt played with it enough to see if it holds it in 2nd or 1st. 4. The Engine Brake feature is damn impressive, its feels stronger than the 2015 6.7's. I usually run around with the SCT "jake brake" feature on, and tow/haul is always on. With the SCT "jake brake" on it maxes the EBP out at 30-31psi of back pressure and that is manually shifting it down with the gear selector lever. With the BD system and pressing the "-" button it jumps up to 40psi quite easily...it wont read more than 40psi on the CTS so I do not know how high it actually gets. I glanced at my factory boost gauge on the dash and it was in the 20's. It stays on 40psi on the cts for quite awhile until it comes back down. This concerns me...how much back pressure with the 6.0 valve springs hold, before I float a valve? The chart in their manual shows it above 70psi in the 3000 rpm range. :jawdrop: Also putting the jake function on a upfitter switch will be a good idea so I can turn it on or off as desired. 5. That boot thing sucks and looks like azz, I hope someone comes up with a solution there. Its a good clean product other wise. 6. When I called BD about it a month ago the guy there said it was all plug and play, with only two wire splices. Of course reading the manual linked above that is not the case. I hate splicing wires(under the hood is a good place for corrosion) I wish it had a trans connector harness. I would have paid extra for that. I'll update some more as I play with it. [/QUOTE]
