Edge CTS2 questions and a problem

[dk2429]

Plan on getting an Insight CTS2 tomorrow. Found one for a good deal. Are these good units? Simply want it for monitoring, truck ('06 LBZ) already has a 100hp PPEI tow tune. Model number on the unit is 84130. I just want to make sure it will work on my truck and that it's a good unit worth the money. I don't know a single thing about programmers.

Thanks for any help

I like mine alot. It would be nice if you could get balance rates.

I love mine, but it shouldn't be confused with a programmer. An Insight is just gauges, it won't change the way your truck runs.

Insights are nice but the edge sensors are a bit pricey to be. You’ll have to get their egt probe for reading your egt’s and their boost probe to properly read your boost pressures.

Truck already has mechanical boost and EGT gauge. Im not looking for something to change the way it runs , it already has a tune in it. Will this thing not show balance rates??

Do a youtube search on it. It will show some functions. Also no it will not do balance rates. The programmers/tunners before this one will though. Ill be honest with you I have one and I really like it for what it is. I also have a separate tunner on my truck so I only needed it for guages/monitoring.

Cts2 will do balance rates

Mine shows balance rates for my lbz. Also i second the unit as well.

Love mine, and shows balance rates

 

[Budneeds2beers]

You all are correct. I don’t know why I think it wont.

Edge CTS2?

I love my CTS2 edge insight I use it to monitor all my temperatures and yes it does absolutely do injector balance rates,so glad I have it I hardly ever even look at the dash now

Got it! Love it already. Now that I have it, just curious, does anyone have any specific settings they like to run theirs on?

Edge CTS2 problem (LBZ)

I just got an Insight CTS2 for my LBZ. Everything was fine. This morning I turned the key on, and noticed my dash lights looked dim. Started up, battery gauge was lower than normal. Come back outside, MIL is on for AC circuit low voltage, wait to start light low voltage, and check engine light low voltage. Cleared the codes. Drove off, and about 5 mins later my RPM gauge randomly jumped up to 4,000 and went back down to normal, then threw the MIL again for same codes. Cleared again, codes havent come back on since. Has anyone had this issue after installing the CTS2? I'm not happy at all. Truck runs fine, the unit works great. What could be the issue???

Have you tested your batteries? These trucks can do some funky stuff when batteries start going bad

Combined your two threads. Unplug the CTS and test again tomorrow. I lean toward batteries, too.

 

[dk2429]

Thanks for combining.. I apologize for the multiple posts, it's just a problem after another...

Update- This morning started up, everything was fine. Drove a few miles, and I noticed when I had cruise control on, the RPM gauge would start bouncing up and down. With cruise off, it was normal. Then, my blinkers didn't work. I messed around a bit more, and with tow haul mode on my RPM gauge went to zero. The MIL wasn't on, but I checked for DTC's anyway. Sure enough, the three codes I had were on but the MIL wasn't lit up. I was pulling in to Oreilys to have the batteries load tested but they aren't open yet. I'm currently at home now and unhooked batteries to reset the computer. Checked fuses for the blinkers, none blown. But like yesterday, I noticed any lights on the dash were dimmer than usual.

I unplugged the CTS2 because I'm starting to think that POS ****ed up something.. Because the truck starts up and runs fine, and my volt meter is a little above 14 like usual.

 

[dk2429]

And yet another update!

Narrowed down the problem... It's that POS $500 machine I bought from Edge! After unhooking the batteries and letting everything reset, everything is back to normal and perfect now. I drove the truck about 10 mins for a test drive, and everything is fine. Cleared the DTC's, haven't come back.

All I can say is Edge opens at 8am, and they aren't going to like the phone call they'll be getting

Well good luck with them I put one on a 03 LB7 that caused lots of communication codes and the display would freeze or go blank it would also cause the gauges on the dash to quit and a dead pedal sometimes also . I never got far with them other than them saying try this update or that one.

I guess they open 8am MDT. It's 8 here in Texas but they aren't answering.

They better have a good explanation or something because messing the trucks computer like that isn't cool at all.. I was getting worried that something really got messed up in there.

I'd also look closer at your turn signal/multifunction switch.
