Product Description
The EDGE PRODUCTS 85452-K EVOLUTION CTS3 is the ultimate in-cab tuner for 2019–2022 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 gas trucks with the 5.3L or 6.2L V8, giving you E90/T93 ECM and TCM unlocking, powerful flash tuning, and a full-color CTS3 monitor in one package. Every kit includes the Edge Locksmith hardware so you can unlock your truck on the vehicle — no ECM mailing, no downtime, just plug in, unlock, and tune.
With this CTS3 you can load emissions-friendly calibrations for daily driving, towing, fuel economy, and performance, then use the same 5-inch touchscreen to monitor vital engine and transmission parameters in real time. Adjustable speed and rev limiters, throttle sensitivity, tire size and gear ratio calibration, and the ability to remember your drive mode make this one of the most flexible gas truck tuners on the market.

FAQ
Will the EDGE 85452-K work on my 2022 “refresh” Silverado or Sierra 1500?
No. This kit does not support 2022.5+ “Refresh” applications or any E-assist/Hybrid configurations. It is designed for 2019–2022 pre-refresh gas 1500 models with 5.3L or 6.2L engines using the E90/T93 ECM and TCM.
Do I need to mail in my ECM or TCM for unlocking with this tuner?
No ECM mailing is required. The included Edge Locksmith hardware and harness allow you to unlock the E90/T93 control modules on the vehicle, then the CTS3 handles flashing and tuning through the OBD-II port.
Can this tuner disable AFM/DFM and Auto Start/Stop on my GM 1500?
Yes. One of the key benefits of the 85452-K Evolution CTS3 is the ability to disable Active Fuel Management/Dynamic Fuel Management and Auto Start/Stop so you can keep your truck in full-time V8 mode and avoid unwanted engine shutdowns at stop lights.
Will it correct my speedometer after larger tires and gear changes?
The CTS3 allows you to enter updated tire size and gear ratio information so the truck’s speedometer, shift strategy, and related parameters are recalibrated for your setup. This helps restore proper drivability and transmission behavior after modifications.
Is the EDGE 85452-K legal for on-road use in my state?
This part is built to operate within federal emissions guidelines but is not legal for sale or use in California and certain other emissions-restricted states. Always confirm your local and state regulations before installation and on-road use.
