Yes, they work very well. They display lots of functions like EGT's (w/probe), temps, rpms, etc.. I use the Edge Evo which looks very similar, but increases power.

I have the DashawkI really like it, The only thing I have heard but haven't checked out is, I was told there was no more upgrades available online. Mine works fine for me but if u wanted to swap to a newer ride it could be a problem. I was also told people were using the edge software and it worked. Could be all BS..I think the edge monitor is more Diesel related and the DH is a all round unit. (cars-trucks etc)...One more thing if u DPF delete for racing U can use the external probe wiring harness to get ur EGT readings..

I have the Dashhawk PN13100. I love it. I have had it for a year now. If you want a plug and play with no work it is the way to go. It will read all info in your truck computer (EGTs, Regen, Soot, Boost, You name it) and reset CEL. GOOD LUCK.

They didnt stop the updates. They went as far as they are going in the software in the Dashhawk unit. I think they are still working on the Edge but it will only display four readings max. and the Dashhawk will do seven. The edge software will not work on the Dashhawk. They both will work on any thing with a OBD port. I dont like to be thumbing up and down on a screen at 65 MPH. GOOD LUCK.

just got it today, thers a biagilaian things able to be watched. 10 custom screens you can set with 2-7 things each. one thing seems mising is there are only select few things that can be setup to alert, and EGT seems to be missing or illuding me. Otherwise I love it, after my head stops spinning from setting up the screens.

On the Dashhawk.com website you will see a thread I started call 2.3 verson. Go to it and download that verson in your PC. You can set up all your screens from it on your home PC. Try to avoid the 2.5 version if you can. It will work ok but the 2.3 is better unless you are into performance more than monitering. You have to have Windows 98 or later. The EGT is in the GM specific section. If you want a EGT probe you will have to order it from Dashhawk and install it in your exhaust manafold. I am not totally convinced that it is necessary. It is so easy a caveman can do it. If I can do it anyone can. If you need help PM me and I will give you my phone number. GOOD LUCK

Go to dashhawk.com and read. The things this thing will do are to many to talk about here.
