Gauges what do you use

brokcanadian · May 28, 2016

I really like the idea of knowing what's up before the idiot light tells me the engine / tranny is fried. This isn't vehicle specific...what gauges did you add and why? Here's what I like, what do you run?

And anybody know how to change the sprinter dash from yellow? Rubs me the wrong way somehow

I use a ScanGauge ScanGauge - Trip Computer + Digitial Gauges + ScanTools
Mine is an older model and is almost twice as tall as the ones in the link. I need to add an oil pressure gauge to my Transit. For some reason Ford didn't think an oil pressure gauge was a necessity. Wasn't even offered as an option.

I have a ScanGauge II plugged in. It will display 4 things at a time. I have it normally displaying MPH, MPG, Coolant temp, and Voltage. No oil pressure gauge.

The one I posted will measure EGT, boost, and Trans or oil temp...might try my hand at tuning if I keep getting so much time off

Ultra gauge is another great unit.

Do Sprinters come with an oil pressure gauge? An oil pressure gauge may have saved my last Chevy from serious damage when a gasket on the oil pump assembly failed. No idiot light came on but the gauge showed low oil pressure at start up.

The nice thing about the ScanGauge is that not only can you monitor 4 "gauge" functions but it is also a scan tool. Mine is mounted on top of the dash with Velcro so it is portable. Just rip it from the Velcro mooring, unplug and connect to another vehicle for pulling codes.
