ScangaugeII Just kidding. Are you doing pillar mount and such? There are some nice examples around of people who have added quite a number of gauges in their cabs. They look great, I just can't spend that kind of money for gauges.

So you will want enough gauges for:
EGT
ECT
EOT
Tranny temp.
Fuel pressure
Oil pressure
Boost


Any others?

EGT, Tranny temp & boost mostly, I reckon. Do I really need the rest, you tell me. Not being smart or anything.

I think the most important gauges are ECT;EOT;Fuel Pressure;Boost & Volts. If towing EGT;Trans Temp.
You can go with a multi-gauge like the Edge Insight CS or CTS and add a probe for EGT and a fuel pressure gauge. I have and older Insight which they don't make any more. There are other multi gauges also. I'm sure other will chime in also..

Anyone know when the fuel pressure sensor attachment will be available for the Insight CTS? Also will it measure volts?

Insight CTS measures volts now. I think they are working on a fix as I think it is a little low. I emailed them and they said yes they knew about it. not sure on the fuel pressure gauge, I installed a stand alone for the time being. Just got email and they have a big update coming this month they said.

CS and CTS Platform Update

Coming in October is a major software upgrade to all CS and CTS model Attitude, Evolution, and Insight devices. Complete with enhanced vehicle parameters (PIDs) for Cummins, Hemi, and Jeep owners, metric units of measure, and Maintenance Manager software, the new software version for all CS and CTS devices is sure to be a hit.

With the all-new Maintenance Manager software, create and manage your ideal maintenance schedule from a comprehensive list of vehicle maintenance items including air filter, axle fluid, air filter, engine coolant, oil, fuel filter, spark plugs, transmission fluid, brake pads, tires, and more!

Once the new software version is released, it will be available for download right from your computer using the Edge Fusion software.

More information is coming soon!

Thanks - good to know. The Egde CTS seems to be easier to set-up than the Dash Daq as far as the EGT probe goes. Hopefully the fuel pressure sensor will come soon and be easy too. I'm on the fence with these two.
