OK, I am a newbie and would like some help with my Torque Pro. I just hooked it up and everything seems to work OK except for ECT. It reads -40 degC. It looks like it is 0105 in the extended equation I have. Both the torque pro ECT and the extended PID ECT indicate -40 deg C. Do I need to do anything to get it to indicate in deg F like my Tranny Temp?

While I haven't seen it myself, I remember reading about a member who monitors his ECT on a manual. The tricky part is to develop a good PID program, since so few have it available to tinker with.

I was wondering if you had a formula for the intake spider temp. thought i had it but i dont. Thanks

Holy crap! And I thought I was a geek... You guys make me look like an axe swinging ape.
OK I just got my torque Pro and have basically used it for pulling codes from friends vehicles and a little playing with the default gauge setup.... Sooooo WTH is with all the extras?

My first comment to all: I took the PIDs I've found and worked on the formulas to get them more condensed, accurate to match my readings with AE and what makes sense, and utilized suggestions from other members. There are members out there that have come up with their own PIDs and shared them. This has been a group effort, and I have been collecting them to post updates when enough changes have occurred.
As for the spider temp, the closest you will get is Intake Air Temperature (in the air filter box) or Manifold Air Temperature (after the Charged Air Cooler). There is no sensor between the turbo and the intercooler. Suffice to say it's plenty warm right there - hence the foil on the factory tube. As far as MAT goes... I haven't found that, or been inclined to tinker with it yet. This is where I invite someone to share.

I thought someone on here had the manifold temp formula, thats the ine im looking for. I already have the one for the filter but wanna know the difference between the two as i drive

New to this app. How do I add a "PID"?
Open app
REaltime Information
Go to blank page, press and hold screen, Add display? Does it matter what type of display I select? (Dial Needle,Dial Meter.Digital display)
My first concern is Transmission Fluid Temperature because of an overheat issue I had. I want to set that one up.
SO I selected Dial Needle. I scroll down and see Transmission Fluid Temp (method 1) and Transmission Fluid Temp (Method 2). I don't see a way to change any settings or see if they are the settings posted here. Am I doing something wrong?
Found a Youtube video that explains

Go into Settings (lower left corner), then Manage extra PIDs/Sensors.
Use the list at the top of the thread for details, and there is a "Test" button at the bottom of each PID configuration - use that while connected to the vehicle with Key On Engine Off every time before saving.

That last post you just made Tugly is priceless info. I did way to many changes and my truck freaked out on me.
But I agree I think we can all work on a 7.3 PID pool party here. I am a NEWB and a kid with a new toy but man is this thing fun.
