Ultragauge group buy

I haven't calibrated it yet.....gotta figure out how to do that. I only have a 1.2 mile trip to school every day and I gave the engine ample time to warm up so 7mpg is very believable. I took that picture this morning after I had only gone to school with the gauge yet. 2hat does the calibration actually calibrate?

 

It calibrated the mileage that the UG reads, for instance I have 33s so without calibrating it it's off as far as fuel mileage and distance traveled

 

got mine a while ago.. still trying to figure out how to properly calibrate it and stuff.. it is pretty awesome though, loving it..

 

shipping says mine is currently sitting in my mailbox
too bad i won't be home for about 12 hours
anxious to hook this thing up

 

I have 33's on my taco as we'll. so how do I calibrate it to the right settings?. I'm new and unfamiliar with this gadget as well. Any advise would be much appreciated. Thx!

 

Got mine yesterday!

 

Got mine last night, gonna rush home from work today and figure out a mounting spot and get it all calibrated. Anyone have any write-ups for mounting it on the steering column for a 1st gen?

 

I use the tire calculator on here and input my stock tire size and new tire size, and whatever the percentage is for circumference is what I use.

I took how many miles my trip meter showed. Say 300. And multiplied by 1.079 to add in the difference in tire size. And then used that as my calculated true distance.


Calibrate Distance
MENU > Vehicle Setup .. > Calibration.. > Calibrate Distance
Use this menu item to calibrate all Distance Gauges. This calibration also directly affects the accuracy of all Speed, MPG and
DTE gauges. This calibration is especially necessary for vehicles which no longer have the stock wheels, tire sizes,
transmission, or rear-end differential. This calibration will also compensate for inaccuracies in stock speed sensor and the
vehicle’s distance measurement system. Perform this Calibration prior to all other calibrations.

**** Calibration cannot be performed unless a distance of at least 4 Kilometers or 2.5 miles have been driven. ****

To perform the distance calibration follow this procedure:
1. Align front tire with first mile marker
2. Reset the trip gauges: MENU > Gauge Menu > Zero All Trip
3. EXIT THE MENU
4. Travel to the 3rd mile marker (at 50+MPH), aligning the front tire to the mile marker
5. Select: Menu > Vehicle Setup > Calibration > Calibrate Distance
6. Change the value shown to 3.000 miles*, using the UP and DOWN keys
7. Press Menu to save and set the calibration
Once saved, the calibration factor will be displayed at the bottom of the display

 

If you have a GPS you can just zero it out along with the UG, then go on a short trip (say 20, 30 miles) and compare what your UG says to what the GPS says.

 

Great detailed guideline!. Yes I will get tire specs in the tire calculator, drive around a bit and do this calibration before anything else. Thanks PcBuilder14!. This will help a lot of TW members for sure.

 

X2 this is how I calibrate mine

 

I used the GPS and checked it multiple times

tire calculator works as well but you have to factor in tire wear as well

 

I ordered mine on the night of February 2nd. Received my tracking information on the 3rd. Just checked shipping status, and it's at the local FedEx facility ready for delivery! That's fast shipping!!

 

It arrived very quickly.

I ended up using velcro, the factory mount stuck out to far.

 

Anyone else have trouble with the gauges Always resting to the default ones?

 

*resetting

 

Think I have my pages of gauges pretty much set up. Might add one more page if I get some good ideas from here. The first page is for normal driving, second is more geared to off-road. Didn't see any options for oil pressure/temp or transmission temperature, but oh well. Plenty of other options!

 

got mine today cant wait to hook it up but it is -9° here so I think I'll wait till it warms uo some

 

Just went to my P.O. Box and got mine plan to install Friday when I am off
