Default Ultra Gauge page one display

What gauges do you display on page one of your Ultra Gauge? Coolant temp is the obvious first choice, but what other gauges do you find the most useful?

I use 4 gauges per page so the numbers are big and easy to read. On my 1st page I have coolant temp, intake temp, engine load and MPH. On the 2nd page I have the 4 o2 sensor readings. That's about all I use.

I did change my coolant temp warning to come on at 216 (I think the factory setting is around 240-250) so I could pull over before it's to late. I have the 180 t-stat and run at about 194-197 and never get over 204 even on the hottest San Antonio summer days in traffic, so if I ever hit 216 then I know there is a problem. I'm not going to wait until it hit 250 to pull over and check things out.

I have RPM, engine temp, intake temp, timing advance and fuel trim.
I have the engine temp alarm set @ 120*F

Those last 2 gauges are just experimental to see if they change after I replace my knock sensor.

I'm glad this thread was posted! I'm a new Disco II owner ('01, 125+k miles) and have already learned a huge amount from this BB! My most recent upgrade is the UG, installed no problem, everything OK, except I'm having a huge problem customizing the display! I want page 1 to read like Jared9220 describes, but nothing I do changes what is on the display! Following the manual to the letter, NG! Now, I thonk it has affected the factory fuel gauge, so I am going to do the 'Force Protocol' later today! Any suggestions/recommendations ?

First do a gauge reset to see if that cures your Fuel Gauge, then watch this video I just made and see if you are entering items correctly.
