Spring time mods/maintenance for your truck...

[AH64ID]

Makes sense, I have had to use the winch once without a working engine (starter died 4 miles from camp/tools, and all but 4 short stretches were downhil), a dual battery setup provides a lot of power. We winched a 6K truck at least 400' uphill.

Lots of good things about a hydraulic, I just never got over the idea of the engine having to be running or the strain on huge power steering pump.

Fresh coat of Rustolium Hammered on the wheels and new 245/70r19.5s all around.Just bought an Edge Insight with pretty much all the extras except backup camera. EGT probe, extra pressure sensor for post-filter/ pre-CP3, and extra temp sensor for the trans or rearend. Not sure which I'll tap yet. Rear was just rebuilt, trans may be original...Under the flatbed it'll get some TSC underbody toolboxesI think it needs mudflaps.Will the stock pickup fuel tank fit a Cab & Chassis truck? I was thinking about dual tank possibilities with that trusty Ford valve setup since I don't think I'm going to move my 105 gal transfer tank to the new rig.

What do you plan on monitoring with the Edge? Just curious as that is what I'm looking to get for a guage set up down the road.

Not sure if your question was more like "what can the insight do" or more like "what are you planning to monitor"?

 

SO while I am not answering for mr.mindless I'll add my .

 

I run the CTS insight in an '05 Dodge and it can monoitor the following items with out any add on probes, sensors etc. :

Battery Voltage
Intake Air Temperature (IAT)
Engine Oil Pressure (EOP)
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
Engine Oil Temperature (EOT)
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT)
Miles Per Hour (MPH)
Miles Per Gallon (MPG)
Revolutions Per Minute (RPM)
1/4-mile and 0 - 60 times

Transmission gear (if running an auto)

Boost pressure

Rail pressure

Engine load

 

Reads DTS codes and can reset them as well

 

Insight can also read advanced data like exhaust gas temperature (EGT) when adding and EGT probe, various additional pressures by adding pressure sensors. 

 

All data can be viewed in either numeric (up to 8 items monitored at once) or analog gauge style (up to 3 items at once).

It also has alarms that you can preset and it has data logging capability.  It also has the capability to adjust Smarty PoD and some EFI Live settings if you use those tuners on your truck.  It has maintenance reminders as well.

 

Now since the CTS Insight hooks up to your OBDII: I monitor boost, trans temp, mpgs, engine load,rail pressure and transmission gear.

 

I have installed an additional pressure sensor and use it to monitor lift pump pressure and I have also installed  an EGT Probe and monitor exhaust temps.
