adding gauges on kenworth

We got a pyro gauge from a local diesel shop that installed in the dash with the OEM look and the thermocouple just hooked right up to it. I don't have any more info other that. It is a digital gauge instead of analog.

 

Maybe this one? You might have to call and find out?Small Pyrometer Gauge for Peterbilt and Kenworth 2006 and newer

 

Yes it is some aftermarket. No pics tonight, will see if truck is around anytime soon.

 

Can't help you on getting the factory CAN Bus gauge going. I am thinking that might get info from the cab controller, but not sure. Those gauges are interesting how they work. You can plug them in however you want them on the Daisy chain, and they will still read the same. Also they can be moved from truck to truck with no programming. You would think that they would need programmed, being on the CANBus, but they swap right in. You can't do any more than talk to Big Rig or your KW dealer and see if they could help. It is unusual to get very far with the dealer though.

 

@pavrom I did find this old thread, but did not study it out. Looks like it might be helpful. Kenworth Pyrometer/EGT Gauge
