Default Shopping used Edge Evo's

Looking at used Edge programmers for sale locally (the Evo #15051 and the Evo CS #85150). From what I can tell, the 15051 is for 04-08 F150, but the 85150 is for multiple maker's trucks (Ford, Dodge, GM). Are there advantages/disadvantages when comparing the two? Is the CS worth the extra dough to a guy like me (daily driver/40 mile roundtrip commute, tows a horse trailer couple of times a month). Your thoughts welcome. Thanks.

I got the edge Evo I really like it if ur hauling id suggest some high performance coils. Also a electric fan kit top it off with the programmer and ull feel a good jump in torque and hp. Only thing is if ur going to drive it daily I wouldn't run the programmer on #3 max performance just wen hauling . Go with the # 1 setting wen just driving to work or watever .

tuning wise they are about the same. Get the cs if you want to see your gauges and if don't care about that, get the EVOHT handheld.

I'm curious if an Edge programmer could possibly be "borrowed & shared"?
I'm only interested in removing the 96mph speed limiter on mine, so is it possible to borrow and use a programmer on my truck with the same engine and year model? I don't mind paying a fee for borrowing, just don't want to pay over $300 to buy one just for the speed limit removal.

No, you can not borrow and share. Even if you just want to change one little setting. Any reason you need to go over 96 mph?

I agree can't see why ud want to go over 96 lol. There's so many better things a programmer offers then changing top speed. If u dnt want to pay 300 look on craigslist my buddy got his evo for 200$ ready to go

Thanks guys, I guess I'll just learn to live with the 96mph limit, or find a used edge.
Well, the truck gets up to 96 pretty quick, and then I'm "done" out of juice. I step on it occasionally on sprints for quick passing. Nothing crazy or dangerous, I drive sensible and safe, just have a habit of not wanting to just cruise around slow when the road & circumstance ahead allows me to proceed. My truck has a lowered sport-tuned suspension and can handle the speed safely.
