1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

geez man, i am only 3 feet into the grave

 

good lord some people have way too much time on their hands

 

oops, did I forget you too? I must be feeling old

 

just another band...

 

when you grow old(er), all you have is time

 

Ok, that’s a good club to be in!!

 

I prefer the term 'full fledged' over old

 

What sorts of benefits will I have getting an ultragauge, boios? I'm trying to avoid when I get some money to not buy a sub for the truck and was thinking of an ultragauge instead to burn that money when it comes available. MPG's, trans temp? battery voltage, what all can I see with it? and can it OBD II read for codes if they occur? I think it will mainly be nice when I'm bombing up a mountain at 3.8k rpms and to see i'm not burning shit up. Course a code would occur if I was burning shit up, in theory, but you all get what I'm saying lol

you can do all of that with a $10 OBD2 bluetooth dongle and the $10 Torque Pro android app, just sayin. You don't get the benefit of a permanent install though

 

just stumbled upon Crow's for sale thread for his truck, that was entertaining

ya that's really all I was interested in too, also for some reason I don't really have a battery gauge on mine so that. Thanks for giving me a "hint" it's not really worth it lol

 

TBH I saw those too and thought of it but didn't know how well they work, they work then?

Honestly, don't know - never had one.

Speaking of subs... saw this on local craigslist... hahaha

This.

 

Torque pro lets you monitor anything that the computer exposes over the OBD2 port.

You can create your own dashboard, style the gauges, and select the units. It's a little awkward to set up but once you have a solid dashboard it's convenient. I used mine with the 6.0L to monitor oil and coolant temps, oil pressure, injection params, fuel injector control module voltage, etc to make sure every thing was healthy.

 

I ended up going a different route when I was assembling my aux fuse box but I did order this one. Decent enough just didn't need it.

did you go with an alternative?

I ran something like this but it was the one that fit in the OTRATTW style switch spots til it broke one day
