Does anyone use a Scangauge II?

[Martinjmpr]

I've got a Scangauge II (SGII) on my 4runner and would like to use it on my next vehicle. Is anyone here running a SGII on their Tahoe, Suburban or Yukon? If so, were you able to read the TFT (Transmission Fluid Temperature) X-gauge on it? Since I pull a trailer I like to know the trans temp if possible.

I know the 6.0 models (and I presume the 2500's with the 8.1) came with a factory trans temp gauge but I'm pretty set on getting one with a 5.3 for a number of reasons.

Thanks in advance!

I have one in my 2002 Suburban and it does read trans temp. I had to assign it to an x-gauge using the codes on their website. I also swapped in an Escalade gauge cluster that has a trans temp gauge. It dropped right in and the trans temp gauge works.

FWIW, I tried to program it for AFR as well, but couldn't get that to work. Could be operator error

I had a bonneville ssei and they were pretty much sa must have. Of course measuring knock they were great. Very good to have tho

For those of you that use the SGII, where do you mount it? I have it on top of the steering column on my 4runner but I think if I did this on a Suburban I would be blocking the information center, right?

It would only tell you commanded afr anyway, no way to get the real afr without a wideband.

I gutted the cassette deck, it wasn't being used anyway.
