Feedback on Juice 4.3?

[motovet]

I am ready to send in my 3.61 to get the improved response I had with the 3.0. This version is very smooth, but I crave the old "kick". Anyone verify that the fun level is back to 10!?

I ran 4.2 back from MT and it worked quite well. I put a 4.3 on for Saturday's trip, but it seemed as though it didn't activate completely. There may have simply been an error in the loading of the program. I have my truck down for alterations, but hopefully I'll get it back together Tuesday PM to see how it goes.

Whenever an '01 sets a code, my kneejerk reaction is DEALER REFLASH as most of these are holdouts and experiencing false trouble codes which are addressed in later calibrations..

I tried 4.3 on my 2002 Ca. emmisions. Seemed to work fine. Smoked somewhat though. Put it on customers truck and set a code pulling. His is, a 2001 model, still smokes on his. Code disappeared, and hasn't come back yet. Aaron told me that on the 2001 trucks it will do this, but doesn't leave a code. I haven't been able to check for codes on his truck as he's in Oregon.
I tried 4.2 on my truck and it wouldn't even start. No bent or pushed out pins or anything. It's going back tomorrow. Terry

After I got my Juice back from being upgraded to 4.2 it would set the code like that while towing but it never did it with version 3.2 and I have had the dealer updates. I tried to check it but there wasn't anything stored so I don't worry about it.

[motovet]

Thanks guys for the replies so far.... but I don't hear anything conclusive. I am sure the new version is OK but I don't want to send it off without reason. I am sure there are quite a few 4.3's out there so....

I just received my version 4.3 box yesterday. I originally had version 3.x and it was fast. I sent it in for an update and got 4.0 back. With 4.0 there was no power and the truck stalled so edge sent me a brand new box with 4.2. Installed 4.2 and there was no power increase because of the temperature issue with the 2001 vs. 2002-03 trucks. Sent the box back in for a 4.3 reflash, installed it yesterday, and wow, it is like old times again. Very responsive throttle and it pulls really hard. I have not even tried level 4 yet. Still in level 3 right now and having fun.

Ok now that's the stuff!!... any fishbite or shift wierdness with the added response? That was the only problems I had with 3.0 on my truck.

[armalite]

I don't think i am getting any fishbite, but then again, i wouldn't really know what it feels like. The only shifting issue i have experienced is the Allison learning what to do with all the power. All i can really say is so far so good.

[motovet]

If you had the fishbite you would definitely know it. Feels like it is cutting out or the tranny is slipping...a jerking when under power. The shift issues I had were well after the learning curve. Not all the time, but at times the shifting was goofy.

I just ran mine to town and back with no problems. Not much of a test, but did click off a 14.81 on the way home :D
