6.4 Gauge setups

[Derek@Vision Diesel]

Who uses what for gauges?

Im not a fan of many Edge products, but the CTS is a pretty nice unit. Any reason this wouldn't be about as good as money can buy for gauges?

Ill have an SCT for tuning the truck

I know of a few guys that run a cts. I say it's good for monitoring only.

I monitor oil, coolant, trans, EGT's, fuel rail pressure, boost and boost back pressure on a dash daq. I think the first 4 are the important ones

DashDaq for monitoring is where its at...told you that alreadyoke:

Like the others have said you can't beat a dashdaq for keeping a eye on things. I watch 9 parameters all the time. Can watch up to 24 at a time. The data logging feature is helpful when you have something acting up intermittently

i had a CTS but it doesn't monitor useful things nor does it have the capability. i sold it and got a dash daq from drew tech. nuff said.

Okay so it sounds like the DD would be worth the extra money. I wont be running Spartans tunes, so where is the best place to find one for cheap even if its locked up tight?

Did any of you buy the $95 Ford enhanced data pack for your DD? Just curious if it was worth the money for anybody who is looking to get a DD.

Good question, i was just about to ask that. I think it would be worth it to me personally...even if i rarely use it. Would be nice to have if i did need it

I didn't. I have like over 20 PID generic. and once you search for more on your vehicle you get like an additional 50

So your saying without paying the $90 you can have around 70PID's? And all the necessary ones are included?

Good deal!

yes, call drew tech and tell them your vehicle and have them send you a specific list.

it has everything i need.... the extra ones are like telling you your truck is in 4wd.. etc.

Can the dashdaq be used for monitoring along side an h&s tuner or is that crazy talk?

 

[powerstrokin15]

unless you have two OBD ports LOL

 

[Big Stroker 6.4]

Ha ya forgot about that...

 

[charlie-2]

You put gauges on the pillar? How do you watch rail pressure, trans slip, read codes and all the other junk thats important?

Im definitely going with a monitor, i need to see more than just 3 or 4 things

I dont. The truck was tuned for 15,000 miles before i even got those. I just got them for when I pull stuff. I can check dtc;s with my tuner.
