How the Evolution CS2 Diesel CARB Edition Works
The Evolution CS2 plugs into your truck’s OBDII port and communicates directly with the ECM. Once connected, you can choose from multiple tune levels (economy, tow, performance) that are engineered to stay within CARB-approved limits for your application. Tunes are flashed into the ECM via the CS2 handheld display, and you can return the vehicle to stock at any time.
Beyond tuning, the CS2 functions as a full-time multi-gauge monitor. Set up custom screens with the parameters that matter most to you – EGT, trans temp, boost, coolant temp, load, and more – to keep an eye on your truck while towing, daily driving, or playing on the weekend.
Ideal Uses
- Towing – Gain extra torque and better transmission management while monitoring EGT and trans temp.
- Daily driving – Sharper throttle response and improved drivability without sacrificing reliability.
- Fuel economy – Mild economy tunes to help stretch every gallon on long highway pulls.
- Light performance – CARB-legal power levels for a quicker, more responsive diesel on the street.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the EDGE PRODUCTS 85301 Evolution CS2 Diesel CARB Edition really 50-state legal?
Yes. The 85301 uses CARB-approved calibrations under Edge’s Executive Orders (including EO D-541-18) for the diesel applications it covers. Always verify that your exact year, make, model, and engine appear on the most current EO document before installation, especially if you live in a CARB-regulated state such as California or Colorado.
What is the difference between EDGE 85301 and EDGE 85300?
Both are Evolution CS2 diesel tuners, but the 85301 is the CARB Edition specifically configured for EO-approved coverage in emissions-sensitive states. The 85300 is a 50-state legal Evolution CS2 Diesel part number aimed at broader coverage outside of CARB-regulated markets. If you’re in California or another CARB state, the 85301 is the safer choice when it matches your vehicle’s application.
Can I remove or defeat emissions equipment with this tuner?
No. The EDGE PRODUCTS 85301 Evolution CS2 Diesel CARB Edition does not support and is not designed for the removal or defeat of any emissions equipment. It is engineered to work with intact factory emissions systems only and must be used in accordance with federal and state emissions laws.
Will the CS2 monitor work with aftermarket sensors or an EAS kit?
The CS2 can display many factory PIDs right out of the box. For additional parameters (such as auxiliary EGT, fuel pressure, or other 0–5V inputs), you can pair compatible Edge EAS accessories like the Universal Sensor Input or EAS starter kits (sold separately). Always confirm compatibility with your specific monitor and vehicle before purchase.
Can I return my truck to stock if I need to visit the dealer?
Yes. The Evolution CS2 stores your OEM file and allows you to return the vehicle to stock at any time through the on-screen menu. This is useful before dealer service visits or if you plan to sell the vehicle.
