I had to order mine on line. The closest Autozone was 25 miles a way, and they didn't stock it either.

They dont stock it but if you get on Autozones website you can order one and have it directly shipped to your house...When I did this I also got a 20 dollar gift card with it.

Yes, you are wrong! Scangauge ii does not read EGT's. Nor oil pressure, nor fuel pressure. Not even tire pressures! But they do read a lot of things!

CTS , as it stands right now, still wont do fuel pressure. There is a cable and connectors you should order at the same time for EGT's.

Actually tried one out. The display is actually nice w/ 6 readings on the
page. It can cycle through 3 pages of values.

BUT, they have some problems with the 6.0 PSD on an '05 Ex.
My '05 would NOT work except for RPM, MPH, Volts, ECT.
They updated their compatibility issues after working with me
for about a week to try to diagnose the problem.

AFter about 10 seconds most of the sensors would go to Err.

It will *NOT* be able to read TFT or EOT.

I sold it to a co-worker for their honda and he loves it.

I bought a scangaugeII and it's terrific, I would recommend it.
It *DOES* read TFT & EOT using the "Xgauge" built-in SW!
And has 0 problem with my ODBII connection, so there something
not right about the ultragauge in some 6.0 PSD engines.

I ordered my scangaugeII from Autozone, took about a week
and it's great.

I'm planning to install a separate fuel pressure gauge next.
