Default Getting my UltraGauge today...

and I'm watching the window for the UPS man like a retired old-man living on a dead-end street with absolutely no hobbies.

Sometimes working from home doesn't exactly equate to actual work. C'mon!

Let me know if you're abke to dial in the DTE (drive to empty ) feature. On fill up #4 four and it says I can drive like 394miles on a full tank. Ha. I wish.

It's a cool tool.

FYI. If you got the kit w/ the window mount, the straight arm mount bends. Took me days before I figured that one out. Doh.

I just found out about this thingy-mi-job you guys call an UltraGauge. $60 bucks isn't too bad a deal, I don't think. I've read that the thermometer isn't very accurate in our rides. But, I've never had an UltraGauge... why would I install one now. Not having one hasn't hurt me in the past, on either D2. Is it just something else to look at while I'm driving?

Everybody needs a hug once in a while. Lol or at least a pat on the back and a bottle of water!

True indeed. Sadly, it doesn't look as those hugs will be given out today; I confused a UPS shipment I was waiting for with my UltraGauge order, which is sent via USPS *not* UPS. :'( One more day... fingers crossed.

"Not very accurate" is an understatement from what I've read. Once the needle goes past half, it is too late. So, think of the UltraGauge as peace of mind, a realtime OBDII scanner on steroids, and... well... another way to "listen" to your truck. Very well worth the price. Even if it didn't do any of the other things it does, just to monitor the temps more accurately is enough for me.
