the trick is remove the air box, pop the cold side tube off the elbow only, then suck the hose flat with a radkit.

DashBoss looks much prettier than the ScanGaugeII. Does it measure all the same stuff? Only thing about the DashBoss is that you have to have an iPod or iPhone, which I don't.

I am using an iPad to make this post. I saw you can get something similar to Torque called Rev that has a free and a pay version. I also found a Bluetooth ODBII adapter at Amazon BAFX Products (TM) - BLUETOOTH - OBDII OBD2 DIAGNOSTIC SCANNER - CAN ELM 327 SCANTOOL - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAR CODE READER : Amazon.com : Automotive for $23. If I can get the adapter for $23, the Lite app for free, that's a cheap alternative to the ScanGaugeII and much "prettier". Worst case, you can pay $40 for the full app and you're still only at $63 instead of $150ish for the more "plain" SGII.

Mark, you're correct. I don't want you to think I'm avoiding your advice, but if I can get the same data spending $23-$60, that's always better than $135ish.

I hear ya! I have yet to find an electronic gauge system that does everything you need though - besides the scangauge. The CTS does not do a few key things. My DashDAQ does everything but FICM voltage. Maybe the Torque App and the DashBoss do everything, just don't know.
Some key ones that aren't common, but are important - FICM Sync, CAM/Crank Sync, and ICP desired.
As long as someone has the initial hardware, the DashBoss and Torque APP are great options

The best thing about DashBoss is it is completely plug-n-play and no need to enter anything.
Which means... you can plug it into a 6.0 truck and have the proper gauges, plug into a 6.4 and have the relevent gauges for that and then plug into a 6.7 truck and have the relevent gauges for that.
