    And I just reread the OP. I see yours is an ‘07, same as mine. Mine has an ICU3 in it and I don’t think there is space to put a boost gauge without removing another, like trans temp.

    I just had my ICU out and don’t recall seeing any external plug to add factory gauges. I know it must be possible, just don’t know where you would hook in to the bus.

    That I cannot tell you. My Freightliner electronics experience is pretty limited to Cascadias or much older non computerized stuff. I was just trying to clarify how the daisy chain set up works. If a factory boost gauge was an option, I'm sure one can be installed, but like lilillill just said, the older systems may have a limit to the total number of supported gauges.

    The cluster pictured in this post is like an ICU4.

    I do see Cascadia dashes with this same basic shape and multitude of gauges. I’m guessing the panel probably fits in the Columbia as well.
     
    Hulld Thanks this.

    I did not know that boost pressure value is limited to 31.5 lb on scangauge.

    That’s IF it’s reading correctly from the right sensor. I was always going to do a data dump on it and see what’s available on the bus. I just never got around to it.
