MDK, Tnx I have a SG and use it to monitor my tranny temps on my Ford.
I was curious to know if , regarding the op’s 2023 version, ,
1- does the new rv version of the Sprinter chassis have an external tranny cooler ?
2- if not, then monitoring tranny temp is something to monitor while towing. Especially if maxing out a Sprinter chassis. Safeguard the transmission.
As you suggested , a ScanGauge in tranny temp mode would be the tool to use. Btw, you are absolutely right, setting it up took a little time. But once i understood the program it was a lot easier.
Again, no worries.
As for the newer VS30 chassis, it probably has everything, based on the price.
It does get more regular recalls than it's predecessors. Both minor and major.
As for SGII, I usually watch the 3 temperatures (FWT, EOT, TFT) while driving, towing or not. I find that an odd change in normal temps usually means trouble brewing (literally?).
I toggle the 4th gauge between GER (current gear), VLT (battery voltage/alternator output), LOD (engine load %), RGN (regen status on/off), DEF (DEF tank level), and GAL (fuel tank level).
All help me keep an eye on things.
Programming them is tedious, but once you get going, it gets easier. Sort of?
Someone said if you buy direct from Linear Logic/Scan Gauge, and tell them the vehicle it's for, they can add the X-Gauges you want before they ship it.
