If I didn't know better, I'd think we have some 70 yr old ladies posting.

I'm on the side of decreased monitoring. I monitor with Torque only when I tow my camper and for diagnostics. If your running a hot tune and use your truck as a street dragster, I can see more haves. Any more than that, and you probably call 911 to cut your fingernails.

Having said all that, a volt meter would be great. But I monitor voltage enough without it because I mainly just tow the camper with it.

I can follow that logic, I just disagree. Ignoring available tech devices makes little sense to me but it's your truck.

There's a derogatory name for internet posters who drop a bomb to start an argument. I'll cleverly wait a few posts before typing it...or not, enjoy your disagreement this is going nowhere.

Feel free to call me all the derogatory names you want but that certainly seems silly. You obviously didn't see where I was going with my post...
