    Hello and thank you for any help,

    I am looking to find A heads up display or digital instrument cluster that I can put on my dash. I am unsure if I can trust my gages nor do I had all the gages I would like to have on my truck. It is a little older and does not have a estimated fuel economy / mpg.

    I have a 2006 freightliner with a Detroit series 60 14 litter DDec. 5.
    Depending on price I would need it to at least have fuel consumption in MPG, speed and preferably RPM as well. Ideally I would have boost and all of my temperature and pressures as optional views as well.

    I have seen things like these before but I am unsure if it is available for my particular truck and engine set up, any advice on which company or product to go with is appreciated.
    thank you,

    Try ScanGauge D It is what I have been using for 10 years maybe? First 6 or 8 years on my 2003 KW with Cat motor then moved it over to my 1996 with Cummins N14. Cost about 180 bucks.

    I wouldn't buy a KR, same thing basically for more money to go in Kevin Rutherford pocket.
    That's just me though, spend your money as you wish.

    The kr looks like it has "smoothed" gauges. As in it's a running 8 sec average so mpg and such is not jumpy. So I'm not sure it's worth 50 to 100 bucks more

    You can hook several scan gauges together, read 4 different things on each.
    Buy online for around $130, get scan gauge D, it works in all diesels, trucks, pickups and RV’s.
