Yes unless you want the latest and newest thing out there. I see lots of Edge Juice with Attitude used on Cumminsforum going for 400-500. The new edge programmers have color screen display a small one and a big one I think Called CTS If you dont care for that type of thing a used model is fine. IMHO new programmers and way over priced.

Would also need to do some research as to what is involved in installing the Edge. I do believe you will need to get a EGT probe that will need to be installed into the exhaust manifold. Normally the probe is extra and may not come with the Edge set. Will need to make sure you get all the cables etc. Does the Edge have the latest software, can you upgrade form Edge if need be? I have the Edge Insight (just the monitor; for gauges) and I had to order the probe separate. you have to drill and tap the probe into the manifold. Not a discouragement from buying used. Just make sure you know what you are getting!

Ramthis, I would make a strong suggestion since it sounds like your new to the diesel stuff. Find a local diesel performance shop and see what they say. Ask questions and ask for comparisions. Any good shop will take care of you and do it right.

I will also say start saving up for a tranny build project once you get the programmer. I am currently doing the same.

Ok thanks Lee, I know that dogging it all the time will potentially screw things up. The thing my dad wants most out of it is fuel mileage. So what I'm thinking ia getting the Edge since it's on the fly, that way if it's set for fuel mileage cruising down the road, then some dude in a ford comes up beside us thinking he's all bad, just set it to 5 and blow his doors off I wonder if there's a way I could get the egt probe off of ebay or something

When I was considering getting an edge I was told I had to buy the probe from edge. Maybe an online diesel shop will sell them like XDP or throughbread diesel.
