Aftermarket gauges

I was wondering if anyone has installed aftermarket gauges. I already run a h&s minimaxx monitor but I wanna watch more temps then 4 at a time. Wondering if anyone has installed a 3 pod pillar with 2&1/16th gauges. And if you have do u have a step by step install. Ive installed gauges in my 6.4L but had to follow the write up to install them. Also if you have installed the gauges which ones did u install. Any help would be great

Or i would run another electronic monitor also but how do u run 2 at a time. I see on google images someone has done it if you search 6.7L gauges

I am not sure about running an H&S with another monitor such as the Edge Insight CTS/CTS2.

I did try running the TorquePro (TP) app via a BlueTooth OBDII adapter and the Edge Insight CTS via an OBDII "Y" harness. Anytime I started the TP app, the CTS would stop up dating. I could exit the TP app then change screens on the CTS and then the CTS would start updating again.

You might run into this problem trying to run two monitors via the OBDII port.

Also, just some FYI...

Most times, you can not run a Vehicle Health Report with something like the BlueTooth OBDII adapter or the Edge CTS is plugged into the OBDII port. You must remove then and cycle the key to run a Vehicle Health Report.

I love my Edge CTS...does everything I need/want it to do. I can watch several parameters at a time.

Here is just a sample of what you can follow.

Nice. I'.m just using my SCll that I had in my 6.0. Main thing I was interested in was the egt's. I watch the dpf load thru the gauge 3rd window.

I recently upgraded to the CTS2 from the CTS. The CTS2 allows a screen to show 12 parameters now. You do not have the pitch and incline views in the way. One thing I did like about the CTS was the red indicator when Truck was in regen mode. I do not think this is on the CTS2.

On the CTS2 I have, I monitor the following...

Voltage
Trans Temp
Oil Temp
Water Temp
Boost
Fuel Flow
Regen Status
Fuel Level
EGT 3
EGT 4
DPF % Load
Soot gpl

I do not monitor DEF levels. I tried this with the CTS and it would show 66% even when less than half full and in the count down. Ford only has like 3 level sensors in the tank. They are similar to the tank sensor read outs are similar to RV Fresh, grey or black water tank, i.e., full, half full and empty.

This was a pic of my 6.4 with the gauge. On my 6.7, I watch all of the EGT sensor temps on this screen.
