    I've got a freightliner with a N-14 in it. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this monitor? What all will it monitor on the Cummins? Mainly want it for fuel mileage or teaching me better driving habits, how accurate is this thing? Any input would be appreciated.

    That's not what you want. You want the Scan Gauge with the KR features.

    That one on Ebay that was posted above is just a replacement gauge from a junk yard worth $15. You said you wanted to monitor your fuel mileage. That's what the scan gauge can do and a lot more. I have one. That's what you posted about. That's what you want.

    the road relay plugs into the electronics and reads out anything the KR gauge can,with better accuracy. it is designed by cummins for cummins. finding a good one for 15 dollars at a junkyard would indeed be a good deal.
     
  10. A gauge that is accurate is what you want. If you,change trucks that $200. Goes with you if you,choose the kr scangauge.

    And you can adjust the scan gauge the other you can not some of the factory ones where accurate some where not. Had cat id in a 9900 international said i was getting 9 mpg that truck never saw that unless down hill and it was getting pulled or pushed on paper it was lucky to see 5 mpg.
