Smarty Jr with Edge Insight CTS gauge monitor?
Does this sound like a good combo? I have an 07 5.9 CTD with 55,000 miles and just want sound added power, smoke and a way to monitor whats going on with the truck. I dont plan on adding anything else in the near future and the tranny is stock. I like the idea of the Edge juice with attitude because it comes with the turbo timer option but people seem to really like the smarty better than the edge. Any suggestions appreciated. Would the BD turbo cooler work with this setup?

do it and let us know. i think the insight looks sweet and lots of cool features.
and once again any tuner is traceable. and lowest egts seems like everybody says that for a selling point. i know my buddies dodge his smarty ran his egts up the roof. then the smarty burned up his computer. so he went ppe hot2 and it would put the smarty to shame but the ppe ran his egts really really bad. but the ppe on his limited edtion badlander dirtymax the egts werent as bad as his cummins.

That combo would be my preference when I ever get the spare funds to finance it. Nice and clean install. People here seem to favour mechanical gauges but I like the all in one electronic monitors.
Let us know how it works out.

Fishbio: this combo is exactly what i am ordering friday.i have owned a smarty Jr. for a couple of years,and i am going to order the edge cts friday from XTR diesel.i thought about selling the smarty and running edge attitude cts,but changed my mind.i am a little concerned that the screen size is a little smallish.i spoke to a edge tech. last week ne told me the screen width is not 4.3" but 3.7"the 4.3 dimension is edge to edge of the case but he did say it displays the 3 gauge screen that is plenty large enough.i really do like the banks IQ screen but it is not available as a standalone monitor.

How is the smarty traceable?
What other mods did your buddy have, what were the actual EGT's?
How did a code change burn up a ECM?
I don't own a smarty but there have been enough posts on here about the product to say that your buddies experience is not anything close to typical.

I've got the 6.7, but run the same combo as what you're talking about. I have the edge insight plugged into the OBDII port. VERY clean install, does not mess with my A pillar at all. I like the smaller screen, I have egt, boost, trans temp and coolant temp. Once you get used to it, at a glance you can see what you need. Installing the smarty is easy and I researched the crap out of it before I bought it. I do not know how the smarty "burned up" the ecm. I just can't see it, defective ecm maybe?

You still have to install the EGT probe if you get just the insight correct? Anybody have the BD diesel turbo cool down timer also? I am debating a lot about either getting the edge juice with attitude cts so that I get the turbo cool down feature or does this come with the insight monitor? Thanks for all the help.

my buddies mods are unlimted. when he first got his dodge he did dual exhuast, gauges and the smarty. how it ruined his computer i dont know, thats what the diesel mechanic said and i would not call him a liar. this truck was built by g and j diesel. im sure they know there stuff. there a well known company and have the dirtymax that runs the 1/4 mile in around the 9 second area.
on my previous truck i ruined my computer with a tuner. why, that was cause of me. i left the radio playing, ac on and stupid stuff like that. i was young and didnt care.
any programmer you buy or pressure box they all say the same thing. the best bang for your truck, lowers egts,fastest downloading. its there selling points.
