If my EGT gauge ends up being my problem and not the probe, I think I just might spend the extra money for the Insight, instead of spending $130+ on just an EGT gauge. Moyock, where did you get yours, and about what would I expect to spend on it? Will my thermocouple from my AutoMeter pyro work with it, or do I need to buy a different one? Sorry for the hi-jack.
I got my Insight, dash mount, and probe from autoanything.com last november for about $370. The probe is $80 and I don't know if you can use your old one because of the probe jack that plugs in to a extension just above the OBD II Insight cord.

Default graphic when powered up is Edge Insight...that can be changed to a different monochromatic pixelated graphic...and the duration of its dsplay can be changed as well. Its really no big deal...I haven't even messed with it. As for MY03 , not sure...I don't see why not. You could probably call Edge, or someone who has the insight with an '03 may chime in with an answer.

Yes, it does monitor boost on a 2003 6.0

Tim, If you buy a Insight send me a PM before you spend the extra money for the probe. I am in your area once a week and I can swing by and you can see if your connector will mate up with the Insight connector or even splice in. It would be a $70-80 savings if your probe is still good.

Impossible unless you have their specially shaped plug that fits into the side port of the OBDII plug. Seems like they figured that one out. If you had an extra probe cord and plug, then you could cut it and would then be able to splice it. Its a great and simple design, but it is proprietary.
There is no such thing as impossible, If you can stick a Ford 6.0 in a 1962 Ford pick up, getting a probe to work is a piece of cake.

Hey, I'm as much of a "Let's make it work" as the next man....but I don't see the benefit over cost in making this work since I have the advantage of knowing what you're up against....but go for it...let us know how it works out for you.

I don't even know what Tim's present setup on the probe to the gauge is, but it should not be more then 2 wires. There is a possibility of wiring it up to the pyro input receptacle of the Insight cable providing his probe is still working.

The Edge is a nice monitor. I'm trying to decide between it and the DashDAQ. The DashDAQ has more features and much better graphics, however the cost is close to double the Edge.
Does anyone know where you can download the Edge user manual? I looked on their website but couldn't find a link.
Thanks
EDIT: Just answered my own question, owner's manual is available at this link Edge Products: Product
