edge is good unit if you want to keep a truck stock. i cant remember if that edge unit has gauges built in or not but you might want to get gauges. it will help you prevent future damage to your truck. if you want to upgrade it with a bigger injectors and turbo get a ts custom 6 pos chip

okay well then your good it will give you the little bit more. i haul light loads with mine (under 7000slbs) it made a difference just keep a eye on your etgs . before you buy anything look around at different tuners chips programmers ect there's hundreds of different tunes. look into the 6 pos chip they have a tow setting in there anti thief ect there's a bunch of different tunes look around at some of dealers on diesel-bombers

Ill try it out. I like that it comes with the egt sensor and reads all temps. Worth a try for 387$. I have the ts 6 pos chip but i think its messing with mu shift points. New programmer i.can change shift points.

yeah i mean if you realy want the edge go for it. i just wanted to let people know there are other options for the right person. i haven't had any experiences with the edge unit your talking about but i think its similar to mine. one thing i wouldn't advise you doing if you go with edge do not get the cts. it will not allow you to change the setting on the fly which is very annoying sometimes when u need some extra horse power to get around someone quickly. let me know how much you want for 6 pos im looking for one for a good price pm me the price if you want to sell it

Ok yeah ill sell it to u. Let me try out the edge first. Ill put it in monday and take it for a drive. I think i paid 290$ for the TS chip. Ill find the paper work on it. It's prob 2 mths old. How dose 150$ sound if i end up liking the edge?

A Superchips program would blow that edge outa the water for about the same money. My Edge Rant: "Edge is **** poor dirty programming gear towards DIYers that dont want to spend the money for a proper chip and gauges and need to have an idiot proof system to defuel for them because they cant watch/read a gauge, and want lots and lots of powerless, engine damaging smoke to make their manhood feel bigger."

P.S. atleast on the older Evolutions they werent switch on the fly
