Of course I dont stare at the readouts, but its interesting to watch as things change, like headwinds and sidewinds affecting the MPG as you go around a long sweeping turn, or HP requirements pulling a trailer vs not pulling a trailer...that sort of thing.

I checked out other devices that Amazon carries and there are a bunch. Seems to me the ones that talk to your smart phone may be a little easier to use since you have a bigger screen and don't have to scroll through stuff on a tiny led screen to see what you want.

I use a thing called Torque, which comes in a free and pro (not free) version. it works pretty well, and I bring it up when I think something may be going on, or else if I want to watch what happens when encountering some kind of unusual condition(s).

I'm not a member of clubfrontier, (had not actually heard of it) so this link may or may not work, but it seems to indicate they are having some success with the Scangauge:

I also have a thing called DashCommand, which defaults to kind of an "everything on" mode. Several screens and you can flip between them quickly. Also available in a (limited) free version or a paid version.

I installed a scan gauge in the Bounder motor home. I found it interesting and helpful if you perceived a problem. But, it would have been much more useful if you could set alarm parameters for specific things that lead to engine or tranny failure. That might get one off the shoulder of the road into a safe location to trouble shoot.
Then again, the SG would have not helped when A rear brake caliper seized and caused a 3 fire extinguisher fire..... I carry 2. And of course the subsequent blow out was on the drivers side, leaving me to fight the fire 3 feet from traffic travelling 70mph+. What would have helped was TPMS, which was "on the list".....(sigh) |
