Whoa - battery?
I've had a Edge Evolution on my '06 since '07 with no problems at all. (running level 2) About 2 weeks ago I went to start to it up and it wouldn't turn over at all, and it said "check gauges" where the mileage would be. I reached down to where it was plugged in and actually accidentily unplugged it, well the truck started just fine, and ran normal. Yesterday I'm sitting at a red light and the truck just shuts off and it says "check gauges", I put the truck in park and it starts and runs fine the rest of the trip. So now I'm a little worried, this morning I went and plugged it back in and itr worked fine, along with the gauges. The check gauges error is something I got when I first got the truck, but that was because my truck was so new they didn't have a current HEX program for it yet. Since then I haven't downloaded anything for it, maybe thats all I need to do? Seeing if anyone could shed some light on it before I call Edge.
In addition to checking for updates, your problem could also be your battery. Have it load tested (acceptable voltage alone isn't enough).

I thought a low battery would only effect one when programing the truck (going from level to level, level to stock, etc.). With having the Evo hooked-up, and incurring a low battery level, would I have issues while on the road? Would the same battery level on stock (never having a Evo) produce the same symptoms as stated in the first quote?

My edge monitor started doing funny things all of a sudden and from what I read here I knew my battery was on the way out. That and the truck started a little slower than it had in years past since I have had the truck. Changed the battery to an Interstate Mega Tron Plus and everything is Kosher.
