Will Edge Insight Monitor Work as a Digital Gauge and Allow Computer Tuning on a 2005 Chevy Duramax

Question:

I have a 2005 2500 HD crew Duramax LLY and I want to Know if the edge can be used as a diagnostic tool with gauges only with maybe later upgrading the computer with a performance chip. I basically just want to monitor my truck now without altering my factory settings. I want a nice factory look for an all in one gauge without the programmer chip but can add the chip to the same computer later. I noticed the EP83400 Does this for other trucks but mine is not listed. I want to know if this will work for me or do you have another one for my truck

The Edge Insight, part # EP83830, will offer a gauge display for your 2005 Duramax. But it does not have the ability to tune the truck computer.

The good news is, you can use the Edge Evolution CS, part # EP85100 to do what you are wanting to do. The Evolution CS does have the ability to alter the tune of the truck computer, but you do not have to. You can hook it up as a monitor system and if later on you decide you want change the tune, you will already have the equipment to do so.

We also have a dash mounted pod that will hold the Evolution CS in an easy to see and operate location. Dash pod, part # EP28300, is custom fit to mount to your dash and hold the Evolution CS where you can see it.
