Getting Started

About the Juice
Congratulations on purchasing the Edge Juice/Attitude system for the Duramax Diesel®.
The Juice/Attitude system features an intelligent module (Juice) that acts as an add-on Engine Control Module (ECM) for the Duramax® Engine. This module is controlled and customized in the cab of your truck by the Attitude monitor/controller.
This system offers many cutting-edge, additional features not available with the factory setup. Since the Juice Module is an add-on ECM, it uses data from your truck’s computer or engine control module (ECM), and then enhances the factory settings to optimize your truck’s performance. This product offers a wide variety of amazing performance and safety features that can ensure you get the driving experience you desire without damaging your valuable truck.
Please take the time to thoroughly review all of the features and product options outlined in this manual.

Important Notes

1. If you have used another tuner/programmer on your truck, you will need to program your truck back to stock before using the Attitude or Juice.
   Failure to return to stock may result in PCM failure or engine damage.

2. Do not program your vehicle in remote location in case of vehicle failure.

3. All Edge modules and programmers are built to operate with OEM calibrations. When you take your vehicle to a service center they may, by your request or otherwise, update your vehicle’s calibrations. It is important that you  return your vehicle to stock before taking it in for service. Edge updates its products to work effectively with updated OEM calibrations.
   However, Edge is not always made aware of calibration changes made by the OEM. In the case of discontinued products, Edge cannot ensure that your unit will work effectively if you take your vehicle to a dealership and you are  given, by your request or otherwise, a new calibration.
   NOTE: This product will not work on E-Series Vans, as some of the connectors are different from the F-Series pickups for which this product was designed for.

Truck Orientation
The following view is a top view of the vehicle (looking down from above the vehicle). References in the text to “looking down”, means looking toward the ground. Looking up, means looking towards the sky from below the vehicle. Front,  rear, left and right are as noted below. See Figure below.

EGT Probe Installation

Supplied Items & Required Tools
WARNING When installing the EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature)
Thermocouple, wear eye protection and protective clothing to protect from getting metal chips in your eyes. Also, since exhaust manifolds can be very hot, allow the engine to cool before drilling. When working under the vehicle, make  sure the park brake is set.

1 EGT Probe……………………..(1)
2 Shrink Tube…………………….(2)

Required Tools

• Electric/Cordless Drill
• 1/8” drill bit or similar size (for pilot hole)
• 21/64” (best size) or 5/16” drill bit (for final hole)
• 9/16” wrench or socket
• 5/8” open end wrench
• 1/8”-27 NPT Thread Tap
• Phillips screwdriver
• 5/16” or 8mm wrench

CAUTION: One effective way to avoid metal fragment contamination in your engine manifold is to apply grease in the tip of the drill bit and threads of your tap tool when drilling/tapping the hole in your manifold.
Reduce pressure on the drill when the drill breaks through the manifold wall to reduce risk of pushing metal chips into the manifold.

Tapping and Probe Installation

1. Obtain a 1/8”-27 NPT Thread Tap.

2. Drill a 21/64” (5/16” optional) hole through the manifold wall.

3. Use the pipe tap to cut the threads in accordance to the pipe tap manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations.

4. Remove the fitting from the Thermocouple and install by tightening the tapered thread end into the manifold.

5. Tighten the fitting so that it is securely seated.

6. Install the probe into the fitting, and tighten the top nut of the fitting just tight enough to keep the probe firmly mounted.
   NOTE: Ideally the tip of the fitting would be less than or flush with the inside of the exhaust flow path.

7. Make sure that the probe cable is positioned to allow best path and minimal bending for routing to the fire wall.
   NOTE: The probe will move approximately 90 Deg. clockwise in the direction the nut is tightened. Before fully tightening the nut, make sure the cable starts 90 Degrees from the final resting position. When tightened, the cable will  be correctly positioned.
   CAUTION: Do not bend the probe after installed. If needed, loosen the probe nut, adjust the probe, and re-tighten. Bending the probe tubing will result in a faulty probe.
   

EGT Locations

EGT probe to the Juice Module

1. Slide the shrink tube pieces over the two wires. Later you will slide them over the bolted connections.
   

2. Connect the (2) ring terminals to the mating Juice harness terminals using the supplied hardware.
   Yellow to Yellow. Red to Red.

3. Tighten the nuts so that each wire is in line with its mating wire.

4. Position the supplied shrink tube over the secure fasteners.

5. Center the connection within the shrink tube. Heat and shrink the tubing over the connections.

6. Secure the excess cable to the existing engine wire harnesses with supplied zip ties.

JAB Installation

2001-2010 Trucks
NOTE: The Attitude will not function unless the JAB is properly installed and plugged into both the Juice Module and Attitude Monitor.

1. Locate the green connector on the Juice Harness and plug it into the Green connector on the JAB.

2. Under the hood, connect the 3 EAS components to one another. A “click” will be felt and heard indicating that the connectors are correctly fastened.
   

3. Route the Rectangular EAS Connector and cable through the fire wall grommet. The JAB and Juice Module will remain under the hood.
   

4. Route the cable from below the dash up to the HDMI cable’s EAS Junction. Refer to the Quick Install Guide for instructions on how to route the HDMI Cable.
   

5. Using the supplied zip ties, fasten the JAB connectors underneath the overhang which runs across the top of the fire wall.

6. Keep the JAB assembly close to the driver side.
   

Final Installation

Connecting the Juice Module

1. Plug the “Main Juice Connector” into the “Juice Module” receptacle.
   

Mount and Secure the Juice Module

1. Attach one side of each Velcro strip to the back side of the Module and to the top side of a flat surface under the hood.
   NOTE: The best place is the top of the fuse box on the driver side. This will secure the Juice module and help keep it away from any moving or hot components under the hood.

Mount and Secure the Juice Module

1. Recheck all connections for a properly secure installation.
2. Using the supplied wire ties, secure the wiring harness and cable to prevent possible heat damage from hot engine surfaces.
3. Start the engine.
   The engine should start and idle like a stock truck. If the engine does not start or run properly, turn off the engine. Remove the keys from the ignition, and check the Juice module connections. Make sure all connectors are fastened tightly.

Appendix

Operating the Attitude Module
Refer to the Attitude User Manual for detailed descriptions on how to operate the Attitude Monitor.
Additional Information
EGT’s
EGT stands for exhaust gas temperature, and is the single most important indicator of how a diesel engine is performing. Unlike a gasoline motor, a diesel motor will continue to make power as more fuel is added. As more fuel is added,  the engine heat will also increase. Please be aware of the limitations of a stock engine.
ENGINE CODES
The engine codes are generally set during heavy acceleration.
Although the codes will remain “set” in the PCM, the dash board indicator light should turn off within 15 minutes. Most codes that are set under hard acceleration are called “soft codes”.
These soft codes are retained in the PCM and can be erased by using the Attitude to clear the codes.
Codes that may be set:

• P1211 – Injector control pressure is different than expected
• P1209 – Peak injection pressure fault
