Got my ScanGauge

[Andy Cabrera]

My scangage arrived yesterday. I pluged it in & did a quick setup. I was driving city traffic today back & forth to store, post office, school to pick up my kid etc.

My '02 with the air intake, an OEM tonneau cover driving moderatly & using the cruise when I can and a fresh set of Bosch Platinum Ir Fusion plugs (the old Autolights weren't bad) averaged 18.8 city



When I first got the truck I was doing 15.1 city! I think it's doing pretty good. How is everybody else doing?

Scangauge is a great item, I run them in 3 cars

What's the part number and where did you get it? That would be great since I've done mods on mine.

Jerry,



Here's the lowdown:

Speaking of the scangauge, Andy did you get the trans temp to work and get the other trip gauges installed._Ron

 

[TrainTrac]

I did get the tranny temp working, Ron. And I added a "current MPG" gauge too. Thanks for asking!

I got mine at amazon.com

The reason is that although the price was $159.95 like everybody else, the did offer free shipping.

Here's the amazon link

If you register at www.cleanmpg.com or ecomodder.com, they have group buys w/ $10 off, and tons of tips/advice on how to increase your mpg via hypermiling.

I also found an extra cable for the ScanGauge for $18 shipped, to use it as a diagnostic tool on my other cars since the cable that comes with it is now intertwined in the ST's console wiring



here the linkto the cable if anyone is interested

 

[TrainTrac]

Good find, Andy. I need to get an extra cable to use the ScanGauge in my RV.

Hey, anyone with a scangauge 2 know how to reset its MPG / fillup information? I keep forgetting to hit the fillup button and now it thinks I'm adding 550 gallons.



Unplugging doesn't reset it.



TIA
