Something as simple as a larger tire size will throw you into high EGT's when towing heavy loads. In fact any modification you do to your truck should first include a monitor with alarm points. Your eyes should be on the road only looking at the monitor for brief moments when your outputs exceed the parameters you set on the monitor giving an alarm.
I have slowly made many modifications between the air intake and exhaust including the turbo giving me increased performance with the same tuner, it just keeps getting better. The monitor is use, the CTS2 allows me to monitor critical engine functions. Without the monitor I would have cooked my engine by simply changing the tire size.
Edge makes great products, take advantage of their monitoring systems, they make tinkering with your diesel fun. Diesels are fun; the edge evolution with CTS2 makes the fun safe. The monitor tells you when something you have changed helped or hindered performance. Jordan Texas January 6th, Overall Rating. Email Address will not be made public.

Edge Products Evolution CS2. However, we also felt it was necessary to offer the company a chance for redemption, so we opted to upgrade to the Edge Evo CS and give it another go. Admittedly, we were nervous to install Edge's next generation Evolution programmer after our original unit froze and decided to leave us with a blank PCM. Fortunately, we have not experienced near as many problems with the Evo CS, which to the best our knowledge advertises roughly the same performance gains from their 3 tiered power levels for our application.
Level 1, transmission only - The transmission only tune does not adjust engine settings, but increases the firmness and speed of shifts without lengthening the normal shift schedule; shifts occur at roughly the same speeds that they would normally, but with more force. The quick, crisp shifts are likely this device's greatest attribute. Level 2, tow performance - Edge advertises that the tow performance tune yields a maximum 8 horsepower and 10 lb-ft of torque increase over stock for our application.
These maximum performance benefits are small and unlikely to be detected. However, you will notice an increase in low end torque and a broader torque curve. Power comes on quickly and maintains much longer, which compliments gear shifts that occur at slightly higher engine speeds.
As the name suggests, the tow performance setting is completely safe for a truck that is fully loaded down. Level 3, race performance - For our application, Edge claims a maximum 15 horsepower and 20 lb-ft of torque increase over stock. Like the tow performance setting, we noticed more of a shift in the torque curve than an overall power increase.
I bought almost 2montha ago. Only 3stars because when on economy mode the afm comes on even with it turned off. The engine code reader is awsome. My truck is highmileag and paid for. So too finally be able to turn the afm off and have a code reader at all times is awsome. No more shutting off at 98mph.. Transmission shifts way better. Woke the old 5.
No real hp noticed but just the driveability is worth it to me.. I bought Gas Evolution CS2 2 weeks ago. It was very easy to install. The difference in power that I now have is very good. This tuner worked miracles for my truck. Helped improve power for my sluggish motor and improved my fuel economy at the same time.
I do how ever wish I purchased the tuner where you can upload custom tunes but The canned preloaded tunes worked amazing. My leves are stock, towing, street, and performance. I called and asked where is the economy level? Where do I add it On the programer? Also my truck gave big jerks when accelerating, that will mess up my engine and transmission.
Do not buy. I bought this a few months ago and I absolutely love it! It really woke my truck up and shifts exactly like I want It to without having the cost of an actual tune. I love the performance and towing mode! The gas mileage gain is great also. Bought this to correct for larger tires and to add some torque to my truck for light towing.
Hooked it up and it downloads profiles, but none of the profiles work on my truck. It starts but it's like the gas pedal is disconnected. Flooring it does nothing, truck is still at idle. Get the CTS instead. I know those work well. Really seemed to wake up my truck. Has totally changed the way my truck reacts to the pedal. I live in colorado and I pull a camper.
The evolution cs2 is the best up grade I have put on. I fell a big jump in power Thank you edge. Has more features than expected and happy overall. Would buy again. I bought this item and it works maybe not all the hype about increasing the mpgs but does help with horsepower and torque. I bought this a few months ago and have had only good things come from it.
I just installed cs2 on my Chevy and was wanting to know if it can be used with E Put it on a 13 surburban and gained 3 mpg so far. So far so good!
Not worth the money. Feel like I got ripped off. The programmer does exactly as it says. Great product. I bought this about a month ago to turn off the AFM. To be fair, I have not been driving on the highway as much as I was prior to buying this.
Maybe once I add the cold air intake and change the tune to the Jammer tune I will be more impressed. I used to drive in 4th gear with 6 speed automatic to get enough power in hilly and crooked roads.
Now I have enough power and better shift points I can drive in overdrive now and still have power in the corners. I love it. Also it allowed me to eliminate the fuel cut back to 4 cylinders. I recently bought this and installed it a week ago. I put aftermarket exhaust on my truck and by deactivating the active fuel management the exhaust sounds good all the time and doesn't resonate and sound annoying like it used to when it drops from 8 to It woke it up too! I could tell immediately that the throttle was more responsive.
Very happy with the product.
