I do not like the scamgauge personally because it will not tell you the truth about what is happening inside your engine. It relies solely on the ECM sensors and they are the first to cause other bigger problems as your engine ages. That is perhaps for a different thread I think though. It is amazing how marketing pushes people around, especially if it comes from some guy who is partially helpful to truckers on the XM radio, then markets products that are supposed to be the miracle cure to everything, slapping their own name on them as well. I sometimes listen to that screw-ball during the midnight hour when I am tired so that it will make my blood boil from all the back-handed hidden marketing blather that guy spews mixed with helping mostly only those he chooses to let on the air because they want to bragg about his gratefulness like he is some kind of religious leader. I can hear the echoes of his voice now saying,...Buy my book,...Oh,...this means you have to now Buy my workbook,...oh yeah,,..you will never make it if you don't buy my CD's too,...oh yeah,..then micro blue EVERYTHING, including the drivers seat,...Oh yeah,...ONLY a NON-EGR Engine will make you any money, so go out and buy those gliders from fitzgrald that i get paid to push off on people,...oh yeah,. you have to attend my seminar,...and buy all kinds of self help books..oh yeah,.. you have to use my website or you will not ever know what you are doing so that we can sell the marketing data from you,..oh yeah,..you have to use profit-gauges too,..oh yeah thats not enough,...I haven't milked your operation dry enough yet, so now you have to use ATBS,..because I want to spy on your business and sell that data too.
sry for the rant,..I really get mad at all the spew from this guys radio show with his sheepish followers.

as for the scan gauge, he has never said it's some magic fuel saving product, the only thing it does is put info you wouldn't otherwise have right there in front of you. the fuel savings is gained by using that info to adjust your driving habits. just using the instant mpg reading alone will save fuel if you are willing to change how you drive. -
I knew that post was going to start an argument...for the same 200 bucks its better to have a second opinion set of gauges than a gauge that relies solely on the first opinion of what's going on in your engine, telling you very little of nothing more than you can see in your dash already.123456 Thanks this. -

I do have a built in MPG reading that tells me what I'm getting as I drive. And I've just calculated my mileage over the whole route. I'm averaging 7.1 MPG. Better than I was expecting, but not as high as I'd like. This was with almost no idle time (just enough to cool off the inside) and I spent a couple of uncomfortable nights sweating. I also made a point of parking facing North so the sun didn't shine directly into the cab. I need to buy a windshield curtain to keep the sun out.

My truck actually came with an APU. But, I didn't know anything about them when I picked out the truck. I just made sure it would start. Turns out it will start, but won't run for long. That's something else I'm trying to learn about.
