I have two Scan Guages. You can keep up with mileage, cost per mile, code reader and a lot more. Plug it in and go. Dial up Scan Guage and order one.

I think the ScanGauge is a great investment. I've usually got my gauge screen set to show RPM, voltage, intake air temp and water temp. I can easily toggle back and forth between the gauge screen and the fuel consumption screen.
I quickly perused the link Purgoose provided and the programmable X model looks intriguing. It mentions transmission temperature as an option.

Whichever model you get, you will get your money's worth. I've used them for years. I wear them out and get a new one. The only reason I have worn them out is swapping vehicles all the time. Now both of my C/Vans have them and if they made one for big Pets's I'd have it on each of them.
If you pay attention to the mileage it actually helps you get better mileage with better throttle control.

I'll give you a heads up, just bought one. If it works I'll get one for the other truck. Thanks.
This looks intresting
What can you monitor with this? can you record a test drive? I miss being to hook my vehicals up to an anylizer when doing tuneups. I am an old school mechanic if your gona tune it up make sure everything matches up and runs right and have the right parts the first time. Especialy on a tight budget like most of us are.
Actron makes decent units for the price I think theyre made by O.T.C. just a year behind in the software and a lighter version.

If you go to the web site it will give you a list of all that it monitors. Mpg, engine temp, oil , cost per mile, trip info, lots of stuff all of it good.
Just about anything you want to monitor and a whole bunch of stuff you never knew needed monitoring. Some of the basic gauges show water temp, air intake temp, voltage, mph, rpm, tps, map fuel pressure, fuel system loop status, cpm, average mpg etc.
If you get the E model ScanGauge you can track your vehicle’s CO2 output in real-time. View information such as Current-CO2 and Trip-CO2. You can also track the days Total CO2 and Total CO2 for the tank within the built-in Trip Computers. This feature will come in handy when Al Gore comes knocking on your door demanding you purchase some of his carbon credits. You will have instant proof detailing your actual carbon footprint allowing you to give Al the boot while telling him to go suck on some other slobs tailpipe.
I believe the E model ScanGauge also monitors heart rate, pulse, body temperature, respiration, perspiration, bladder capacity, miles to next rest area, methane discharge, REM, caloric intake, calories burned, caffeine levels and a low caffeine audio alarm.
Here's a little known fact I came across while reading the ScanGauge website: According to a report issued by the US government, adjusting your driving habits can increase fuel economy by up to 33%. Wow, who would have thought that by simply adjusting one's driving habits one could increase their fuel economy.
I bought mine direct. Here's a link to retail outlets. Looks like Autozone and Camping World for sure. Retail Locations : Linear Logic - Home of the ScanGauge
