Scan Gauge II ?

[PineKnot]

I have a Scan Gauge II on the way to monitor coolant and oil temps. Will the instructions make it clear to the electronically challenged where to hook it up and how to program it to do this? Or do I need more info? Suggestions appreciated.

Should be programmed already.

You just plug it into your OBDII port inside your truck.
Turn the key on and it automatically connects to your trucks computer.

They are super easy to work with.

^ what he said. No wiring needed just plug it in.

No... You will have to program the device to extract the data that you need. There's 4 parameters that you will need to input into the device. I can't remember each parameter but it's something like "RXD", "RXF", "TXD" data. It's not overy complicated but it's definitely not plug and play... at least not for the data most people want (ECT/EOT).

I think most of the time you have to program the Xguages for Oil Temp. Coolant temp will be there just not sure about oil temp. Who did you buy it from?

Here's the link for the codes from Scan gauge. Scroll down and find the data you're looking for and add a new gauge on the "X-gauge" options.

Just bought mine from Bullet Proof Diesel and it was preprogramed with ECT, EOT, FICM Voltage, ICP Pressure, I just had to set it on how I wanted it to read on the screen

I bought mine off of the scangauge website and had to program nearly everything. I found them on Ebay for $125 last week if anyone's interested.

Here is a link with a better list of Xgauges for your truck:

Some Scangauge II Codes for "Xgauge"

Here is an example of the codes you will need to enter. It is actually simple to enter these gauges, just be accurate in your entering. As you see below you will always enter TXD first, then RXF and so on. The Scangauge II will walk you through these steps in this order.

Now, you will find Xgauges through out the link above, some will have the "TXD"-"RXF" listed, some wont. Just know, those that do not have these letters are still listed in this order. Have fun!

(also, the Scangauge II as you scroll through, the Xgauges will read from Xgauge #24 down to #0. )

This is a great find! Just tried it out and it works great.
