Edge Insight CS

Love mine also. Use it to do a manual regen when I'm on long stretches. Right now I have setup as 5 gauge. EGT 1, EGT 4, soot grams, eurea milage and boost.

Socal traveler,

I gather your truck has the def installed? I heard that the conversion for the big rigs run about 20K. How does your truck run with the def? I am looking into the Edge monitor for our truck.

Thanks to Todd I'll be getting the monitor. I contacted Edge about the "pod" for the factory look, nothing for the newer SD yet. They told me it was coming out ending of August, just keep watching for it...

So far so good with the DEF system. There has been lots of talk with systems errors i.e. poor DEF fluid, bad DEF injector, the list goes on. The other problem is, DEF has a shelf life of about a year and is prone to going bad with either shelf life or heat in excess of (I think) 100 degrees. 

Another thing about the DEF systems, it creates lots of heat during regen, I seen temps in the 1100 degree range on my EGT 1. The system is also very restrictive, the exhaust is a 4 1/2 inch pipe but it also has a CAT plus the SRC plus the DPF. If you continue to shut off the vehicle during regen you might get (keep driving DPF not complete) I haven't seen this yet as my 2013 isn't a daily driver.

Another note, during regen diesel fluid is injected into the SRC to help burn of the soot hence the 1100 degree temps and poor milage at the time of regen. 

Once my 2013 is out of warranty, all that stuff is going bye bye but not throwing it out in the trash because of the value of it.

Erick,

   Yours looks like the programer? (CS ?). I'll be getting the monitor only (CTS2-84130).. 

Hi Gary.  The CS is not a programmer, monitor only.  The CTS is a little nicer I think and is touch screen.....

Amazon, $240, oops, just checked, now $230

That's right CS and CTS insight, both monitors only and one is touch screen. 

Damn, Edge recommended the CTS for my wants. Guess their just trying for more $$$..

I have the CTS it wasn't cheap, I don't know if the options are different or your able to monitor more with the CTS. 

Just sent a continuing email asking that question. So yours is a 5" monitor? Don't remember.

I dont think so, they just came out with a newer version this year, that might be the 5 incher.

Just got an answer couple hrs ago. The CS2 and CTS2 read identical parameters. The only differences are size, touch screen and back up camera capability. I guess I'll be going with the CS, truck came with camera.

Gary and anyone else who might be following.  The gauge pod/mount arrived today.  Color was a good match to my dash color.  Installation consists of metal tabs that adhere to the pod and Velcro tabs that hold it to the dash.  Installation for me was particularly easy.  On the metal tabs I stuck the Velcro that would stick to my dash cover and that was pretty much it.  I like the look much better than the supplied windshield mount......

Windshield mount pics.....

Pod/mount pics....

The gauge(s) are actually much easier to read than they appear in the pics.  There was glare/camera flash and I didn't want to move the truck or wait for better lighting.....

Looks factory. I saw Todds on his truck without the dash cover. Did you have to trim the cover?

I'm still watching for the pod for my truck. They still haven't made one like they said.

Gary, I didn't trim the dash cover.  Stuck it right on top of it.....
