Awhile back, Hoot, I think it was started the thread about how many trouble free miles. I'd like to know how long folks have had their trucks juiced and experienced no engine or transmission problems particularly those who tow.

Have had our truck for about 20 months (37,000 miles) ... pulls numerous trailers & has been juiced for at least 18 of them and well over 30,000 miles with no problems .. Jim

My truck is still fairly young (a little over 16k mi.), but it's been Juiced since about 2500 miles, and Hot juiced for the last 4k mi. Always in level 4, and always flogging it. Never a limp, never an SES (K.O.W.!).

I've been juiced for almost 45K miles and half of those are towing 13-19K trailers. I use the 75hp & 60hp mode for towing. I use the 90 hp mode for towing lighter loads, trailers under 10K. You really have to try to get the egt's over 1250 degrees but there's no mountains, just hills where I'm towing.

When it comes to towing, dragracing or truckpulling, the Juice is hard to beat.

I bought the juice when they first came out. Had it on an 01 until I sold it for an 03 in october of last year. No toubles at all, had it reprogramed when I changed trucks. Between the two trucks, about 25000 miles juiced.

Thanks for the responses so far. I hope there will be more. I bought my truck intending to keep it many, many years and tow travel trailers all over the place (Mack, that's what I meant by "tow") and I'm curious to see how they are holding up under the stress of towing with mucho hp. These reports are encouraging. I also noticed that JK referred to a smokeless California version of the Juice in his brief report of the rendezvous. I realize for some smoke symbolizes a generous endowment, but I'd rather not give the regulators any more reason to clamp down on diesels than necessary. Smokeless power is still power.

CA emissions NEED this programming, but I choose it as a general runabout. On bad air days and such, I can lay down a pretty good cloud with the normal hot programming.

The CA programming actually still responds better than most competitive std units. It just waits a bit for boost to build as EGR trucks can get kinda smoky if you get after them too soon.

I have about 80,000 miles with Juice. The only problem I have is the hard 3-4 shift but it doesn't happen that often. Usually grossing 22-25,000 LBS. I wouldn't tow without it.

Once you Juice your truck you'll wonder how you got along without it. I've had mine Hot Juiced since December with no problems at all. I towed my 5'ver to the Smokies last fall before adding the Juice. I went back there last month and the difference in towing is like night and day. Even with the Juice set on Level 1. I don't see how you can go wrong with it.

Been running my Edge Juice for 8 months and 20,000 miles without a hitch (other than some excessive wear on the rear tires!) tongue.gif

60,000 miles and 2 upgrades mostley on 50 hp setting, 90 hp on t/h sometimes. 2001 D/M has 92000 miles now and runs as good as new and I don't pet it!
