how to setup scan gauge 2

Bought one today. I know a lot of guys on here have them. Is there a video on how to setup it up? Instructions are lacking a bit. Want it to show egt temps horsepower and stuff like that

There are a few videos on YouTube. However, there are a few that are close, but not quite perfect. So I recommend you take some time, go sit in the truck after watching a few of the videos, relax and play around a bit.

It is worth the effort.

Agreed, also the Xgauge functions are the most useful. You will need to acquire the parameters and input them. Search for the parameters as they are on most of the diesel boards as well as here.

But the best advice was from jonrjen.....go to truck, plug in, relax, and just get familiar. I had my laptop with me and searched anything that came to mind and got more familiar. Patience is the key, once you get hang of it, you will not be sorry.

I personally do, coolant temp., Soot level, Regen On/Off, and I flip between MPH (factory gauge is way off), and gallon per hour when I'm using my aux tank that gravity feeds at 8 gallons per hour, helps me keep track of how much is going into the OEM tank.
