Just wondering what are the biggest advantages of the CS over the original Edge programmer. I have the original, thatI was planning to send to PHP to convert to a Gryphon, and was wondering if the CS is a better idea. I know that converting mine is definitley the cheaper route. Just wondering?

 

since you're getting a custom tune I wouldn't worry about it

 

Yep. In fact the Evo has features that haven't been 'implemented' in the new CS/CTS platform.

 

Keep your original edge evolution and get it converted to a Gryphon.......

With the CS, edge took away some end user adjustments that are supposed to be reimplimented but as of yet are not......

 

Ditto - the custom tunes are the same in either unit.

The CS offers more "bling" than the monochrome Gryphon and should be more reliable if used in the pre-04 trucks due to problems with the OBD cables in those units. The CS could have its tunes "upgraded" though for an 09+ truck if you decided to trade up. The monochrome evolution can't be used beyond the 08 model year.

I have another question along these lines. Edge is showing Fusion, and now Lightning software to use for updating the EVo. Which one should I be using, I currently have Fusion.

 

Glen, this is confusing, to say the least: Here's what it says on Edge's website about Lightning:Now, Lightning actually existed BEFORE Fusion, and Fusion was supposed to be a multi-application program. So, I'd say if Fusion works with your unit, stay with it.

That is kind of what I was thinking. I figure I will use it until it stops working then try Lightning. By the way I have sent two emails to Egde requesting clarification, with no response.
