THE ADVENTURES CONTINUE - DFO gets a truck and hops on Schneider's IC Choice Program

none of us do railwork

 

Hey DFO, talking about gauges in sadwars thread. I've never had a full gauge package never needed it but can you explain to me how to best use the boost gauge to my advantage. I mean its there but i haven't figured out how to make it beneficial.

 

Well two things - first keep an eye on how much boost you make especially when making a hard pull - if you start to notice a change over time, it might be a sign that something is up with the engine if it isn't building as much boost as it used to, etc. Secondly you can use it to help with fuel mileage. I know nothing about your engine and what kind of boost it normally runs, but I would talk with other drivers with that engine and see if any of them monitor their boost, especially when pulling hills, and see what kind of fuel mileage they are getting. I'm not saying drive 55 MPH all the time, but if you can use the gauge to help practice some restraint and find a sweet spot when pulling hills it can really help.

 

okay good so all those extra gauges aren't all pointless lol

 

Get a Scan Gauge D. Really helps with fuel mileage.

 

ok . but does l/os pay a fee to use it?

 

To use what?

 

If I'm not mistaken I believe he talking about the Qualcomm. ..
