A College Student's Financially Irresponsible Build

Is your ultragauge the mx v1.4? Im not real sure which to get really like the look of yours with that mount.

 

Yep! That’s the one you want. I love it.

 

Cool deal was it easy to calibrate and program, prolly gonna go with at least trans temp.

 

It took me a bit to figure it out, but it's really easy. I can help you out if you get one. I haven't programmed my trans temp yet, but I have the instructions to do so on hand.

 

Okay sounds good how long did your mount take?

 

2 days to my doorstep

 

@SpikerEng do you know what the correction factor should be for MPG? I usually average around 14.5-15 and I’m having a hard time determining what numbers to plug in to make my MPG accurate

 

I didn't specify a correction factor, here's how I did it. First, fill up the tank till you hear the first click. At that point, go into the fuel menu:



Select Fuel fill up:



Then drive normally for however long it takes to get the tank nearly empty (I don't mean drive in one trip, just however many days of normal drives it takes you to get the tank nearly empty). Then try to fill up again at the same pump as the first time, until the first click. Note exactly how many gallons it took you to fill up.

Then go into the calibration menu:



Select Calibrate MPG/Fuel:



UG will display the amount of fuel that it "thinks" you used:



Override that value with the number of gallons that you measured at fill-up, and that will recalibrate the UG. You can go for several fill-ups before calibrating like this (keeping track of the total number of gallons used), but for me, calibrating it just once made it close to 99% accurate.

Does that make sense?

 

Great step by step & with pics.

 

That's exactly what I did, but im pretty sure I messed up somewhere along the line because I had several fill ups prior to calibration and I did not keep up with the gallons used. Should I try and reset anything? Not sure what to do since I have no idea how many gallons I've used. I just filled up with 11.5 gallons today with a little more than a quarter tank left.

 

That doesn't matter, no matter what you did earlier, you can recalibrate again by following the steps above. You might need to hit Reset MPG/Fuel Cal first (on the last screen) - but then proceed starting from step 1.

 

Sweet, sweet ride bro. Like a lot of you, I didn’t have that ambition at your age. You should be proud

 

Thank you!

 

What’s up Matt
