EDGE CTS FOR 2ND GEN
 

Sorry if this has been covered in another thread, but have been unable to find it.
Considering an edge cts (gauges only) for 98.5 2500
Trying to figure out exactly what/how much I can monitor with this thing
Most literature says ability to monitor via OBD is dependent on vehicle specs, ya da ya da.........
What exactly will I be able to monitor?
Also, for a stock truck that simply pulls a travel trailer occasionally, do I need/can I use and edge with attitude??

Thanks,

SD

Do you have a good aftermarket LP installed yet? If not then don't even worry about the edge until you get a good LP installed. That should be priority #1 my friend.

Is it an auto or manual tranny?

Auto trans, Fass DDRP.

Have you added a VB and TC? If not I personally wouldn't buy an edge until you get those upgraded. But to answer your question yes with the supporting mods and Edge J/A will do you good. What are you wanting the CTS to monitor?

Oh, and presently just a manual fuel pressure gauge on top of canister @ 15#.........

Just tryin to do upgrades in some logical fashion....
Lift pump was first, now lookin at gauges. Tryin to decide between gauge pods and CTS type gauges. Not really interested in smokin tires, just want my truck dependable for occasional towing and monitorable
Pressures, temps, etc.

According to Edge website this is what it will monitor for 1998.5-1999

Accel Pedal Position, Battery Temp, Battery Voltage, Boost, Calculated Load, Corrected Speed, Engine Coolant Temp, Engine Speed, Fuel Level, Fuel Pressure (Juice w/ Attitude Only), Gear, Intake Air Temp, Throttle Position, Time 0-60, Time 1/4 mile, Trans Temp, Vehicle Speed (Mileage Coach Not Yet Available)

I understand, the first weak link in these trucks is the LP; which you have taken care of, the second weak link is the auto trans. The auto in these trucks are barley able to handle stock power so anything much over stock and problems tend to ensue. That includes towing heavy and for extended periods.

Dang Now why could'nt I find that.
Thanx for the quick reply, HRD
So EGT, Boost and Fuel pressure would require seperate analogs?

VB and TC = Valve body and Torque Converter??

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

oops, did'nt see Boost on your reply......:s:
EGT and fuel pressure will require seperate analog gauges?

No problem my friend. You will have to get a pyro sender but it will plug into the edge as well as the sender for fuel pressure. You don't need separate gauges just need the senders that will plug in.

Yes Valve Body and Torque Converter

copy all
will do some more homework
thanx much, HRD

Glad to help. :c:

Don't tap the pump (connect the wire to the Injection pump) and you will have a little more power and mileage. If you drive respectably you will be ok. The EJWA CTS also allows for the EAS system. You can add pressure sensors, temp sensors, and another Pyro if you like. You can also install a back up camera to use with the monitor, making connecting to a trailer a little easier.

None of this is to go against what H.R.D sadi above, he is 100% correct. This is just extra information, and my opinion.

RA-

Excuse my ignorance, but what did you mean specifically "Don't tap the pump (connect the wire to the Injection pump) and you will have a little more power and mileage."Were you referring to the Edge CTS gauges only/non-programmer?

Thanx,
D.

The Edge will give about 60HP or so through the CAN connection under the hood. The rest comes from tapping the pump. Tapping the pump allows the EJWA to somewhat over ride what the pump is commanded to do by the ECU.

RA-

Not sure I understand. The EDGE product i refer to is the EDGE INSIGHT digital gauge set-up only. It's not a programmer or chip as far as I know. I don't believe it's installation adds any HP??

Sorry about that, I didn't read properly. The insight gives no extra power, as you know. I apologize for any confusion. I have one in my work truck, worth every penny.

Thanx for the input, and the rec.
Can't wait to get that bad boy in.....:tu:
