scan gauge II
got my new scan gauge a month a go and love it is there any way to piggy back these things to have two of them in use at once? it would be nice to have twice the gauges.

If you're talking a Linear Logic Scan Gauge II, then yes. One connects to the OBDII port, and another can be connected with a patch cable to the first unit.

I'm not sure but I think any crossover Cat-5 cable would work. Check the wires to be sure before you try it. Or you could use one of these OBD2 port splitters:

You want a non-crossover PC cable(standard ethernet cable with ends made the same). They can be found just about anywhere, in various lengths. I saw a pic of a ride set up with four of them daisy chained together. I don't know if the data rate of the CAN bus on these trucks would affect display intervals or accuracy. More than likely, the more you chained, the slower the refresh rate. Regardless, you can plug one into the other without an OBDII splitter.
