Scan Guage D
Am thinking about buying a scan guage D for my "01 Tradewinds LTC with the 3126B Cat 330hp turbo and am wondering what all it's gonna be able to tell me. Does the computer actually read all the things...

Mine plugged in right under the steering wheel - the same place a mechanic would plug in a gauge to read trouble codes. It comes with two plug-in adapters.
I find it very useful in the mountains, especially when it's hot out. It allows you watch your transmission, water, oil, air intake, etc temps exactly.
The only thing that I think is hokey on it is when it tells me I'm getting 30 - 40 MPG in a 40' DP!!! But the fuel usage gauge is useful to remind you to get your foot out of it when there's no need for it.
I think it's the best thing going considering it only costs $149.
You can go to their web site and download the user's manual to see all of the functions and how it works.

You need to use average mpg along with the instantaneous. When I'm driving I use avg. mpg,, instant mpg, speed and rpms. There is a wide variety of choices to display. The scan gauge D is well worth the money.
