I still like that Android thing that they have over in the 7.3 forum.
Lest see if I can find the link to it

I knew I had it and hope some will like what they read.

I looked at the PLX Kiwi setup. You can add up to 32 additional sensors to it. But the cost adds up quick and I can see the wiring becoming an issue when installing those extra pid sensor boxes.

I "think" I am going to get the seperate egt sensor from Auber Instruments. This will be about 116.00. Then add a coolant filter for another 136.50 and keep using Torque Pro with my Nexus 7. I still won't get fuel pressure though.

My other option was getting the Dashoss kit for 360 or so.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

edit: Sean, now I might have to get a new Android head unit instead of and egt and coolant filter. LOL

Which backup camera did you use? I could really use one for my trailer.

Sorry I made you think about spending MORE money.

I bought one on Amazon for a place called TaoTronics for about $30. It looks like the full bracket one I bought is sold by Esky now.

Brian you can save a few bucks and get a less expensive coolant filter from XDP -- it was the most complete kit out there when I got mine, you don't have to cut ANY hoses (well I did trim some off theirs, to make the install a bit tidier). It's $124.95 less 10% ($112.46 + $2 order processing I think) for FTE members using discount code DIESEL10 and that is including shipping...

This is the coolant filter setup i went with about a year ago. It was very easy to install and has filtered a lot of crud out of my cooling system. My delta stopped going up once i installed mine. I highly recommend it.

I was looking hard at the Mishimoto kit for 139 from Ficmrepair.com but the XDP kit for 112 after the code seems like the route I will go.

Tip for you, Brian: doesn't matter who's filter base, use plenty of teflon tape and tighten the fittings tighter than you would think. I had to redo mine twice (so that is 3 installs) before I tightened the snot out of the threaded fittings and it is still dry. Oh and put some silicone grease on the filter o-ring and just get it good and snug -- they can stick if dry...

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I was inquiring about the backup camera and the monitor used, and its location inside cab.
