Get a separate EGT gage. That's my opinion.
I forgot about that option of a extra sensor. But, your right, EGT should by all means be a separate gauge. When I'm pulling a mountain grade with the 5er I stare a hole in mine, LOL!!

I got pulled over for going 70 in a 55 in northern Cali on I-5 going up the Siskyou mountains because I was watching my EGT's instead of the speedo. Just kicked it out of OD and kept my foot in it...

That was with 2k in the bed and a chevy cobalt on the trailer behind.

What parameters do you usually have the scangauge to display?

You can do two at a time up to eight at a time. I have mine set to display four, first screen will show oil temp & trans temp and the second screen will show duty cycle and ICP pressure. There is about a 1 to 2 second delay between screens, which is adjustable.

Falcon, 55mph pulling a trailer in CA sucks, they are hurting themselves financially.

It's a speedtrap in the Siskyous.

Either ICP PSI, or DC's and always EOT.

I drove about 60 most of the way through CA, he just caught me going uphill at full boost trying to keep temps down...

Full boost trying to keep the temps down????? I'm not going to buy that but maybe the cop did, HAHAHAHAHAHA I'll have to try that approach next time I get pulled over. Its pretty funny though, I've been seen speeding with my 5er and never get pulled over!! The cop must be seeing my tiny truck couldn't possibly be pulling that monster that fast, LOL!

I love my 5 position DP Tuner chip. Great customer service from those guys too. That's what I'd go with if I were you.

A little late to chime in, but I think it's important to point out that an EGT gauge is probably the most important to have.
