The Edge Juice EJC1000A is a completely weatherproof
module that easily installs underneath the hood. With
the addition of the Attitude monitor you can add five
levels of adjustable power ranging - from 30 to 120
horsepower* - and increase torque up to 275 foot pounds*.
The Juice greatly improves responsiveness and driveability,
while at the same time increasing fuel economy.
The Juice communicates along the engine’s CAN-BUS
data stream, from which it receives vital engine,
transmission, and fuel system information. This enables
the Juice to provide smooth and precise power curves
that are truly custom, rather than just an offset
from stock.
The Juice also monitors the transmission slippage
when the torque converter clutch is engaged. The power
level is decreased if any slippage is detected. This
prevents damage from being caused to the transmission,
and also prevents the power train from erroneously
generating fault codes and entering “limp mode”.
The Juice also limits the amount of power increase
during transmission shifts when the torque converter
clutch is engaged and also when the torque converter
clutch is being engaged. This allows the torque converter
clutch to engage without slippage causing “limp
mode”.
When the torque converter clutch is engaged, fifth
gear on the Allison 1000 transmission will hold about
680 foot pounds of torque before slipping. Gears 2-4
with the torque converter clutch engaged have never
slipped in Edge’s testing. (We have tested over
900 foot pounds of torque with no slippage). Without
the sophisticated transmission monitoring that the
Juice performs, the total power increase would need
to be limited to the weakest conditions to prevent
“limp mode”.
