Best for monitoring, Edge insight, Bully dog watchdog or Scangauge?

[george]

For my 2008 Cab and Chassis I'm window shopping for the best monitoring plug and play type unit. I'm not running power, only a Smarty trying to improve mileage. I was leaning towards Edge but have been reading a bit of negative posts lately mostly about customer service. Anybody care to share experiences with these or anything monitors or any others?

Thanks in advance

From what I have researched, I believe the Scangauge delivers the best bang for the buck.

Care to share a pic of your rig and how you use it. C/C with a winch sound interesting.

I use the Edge Insight and I like it, but I am not monitoring much beyond stock parameters yet at this time.

I have the edge cts for gauges in my truck, works great. I have had no problems with edge customer service, had to call them twice for software help since I have windows 8, quick to answer and solved my problems quickly.

You may want to also consider the UltraGauge, I believe AH64ID, a member here has one. They are reasonably priced.

What the heck, just ordered an UltraGauge, $84. 31 shipped, minus a $9. 00 rebate = $75. 31... I'll comment more after I receive it. Jess

I could get interested in the Ultra-gage but it doesn't monitor exhaust temps or transmission temps.

Here are a couple of pics, I didn't buy it for a work truck just to tow my trailer. Pretty low miles only 32k and it's a 2008. When I first saw Harvey's truck at a Maymadness I fell in love with it. My 96 only has 150k but that's another story.

I was wondering if it does. If it did I would be sold.

George,

Your truck is still new. With the prices of today's new ones you could probably sell your truck for what you paid for it or even more with all the choice equipment you've installed.

Very nice,George and is that a well cared for 5th ave in the background ?

Hey Harvey
Sell it and then what? Buy a new one, I don't know, it's kinda nice to be payment free

George,

I hear you. My '08 has 120k miles and is the last one I plan to ever buy.
