I run the Gearhead 8k tune. I don't have personal experience with Livewire but have heard of false readings. My opinion is there are far more affordable options to just monitor.
Personally I have a ScangaugeII for everyday travels but also carry a Bluetooth OBDII ELM 327 Adapter and Forscan on my phone for code reading and diagnosis on the road. My Scan gauge is set on Engine oil temp, Coolant temp, FICM V, and I toggle one spot for AVG fuel, ICP and IPR for occasional checks.
You could set up a cheap $80 tablet and a $15 OBDII adapter and monitor everything except fuel pressure and EGT. For those 2 I installed independent gauges.
These are just my opinions. I'm sure others will chime in.

Next, this thread will give more gauges you can set-up yourself, including ICP Volts (post #12):

does not break you window and take the stupid thing. They is you have not done
your backups on top of a new tuner you have to reset the PCM back to stock.

Well, got around to fuel filters tonight. Got the exhaust strapped up, and finished. Bad news, maybe. Removed the upper fuel filter, bowl emptied Itself? Somehow? Don't know if that's normal. To me, it's not. Some one educate me. Also, lots of rust in the fuel bowl. Bulbed that out, then blew it out, then dried it out. Put a new filter in. Motorcroft on yalls recommendations. Now on to the bottom fuel filter. I'm skeeered!

An example of detailed information associated with codes:
P0460
Fuel level sensor A. Float arm in the tank, bad instrument cluster, you keep filling the tank up to the same level (customer fueling habits), or fuel pump module concern.
Fuel Level Sensor A circuit: TSB 06-13-11
Can be caused by the installation of aftermarket equipment such as remote starter systems and auxiliary fuel tanks.
Auxiliary fuel tanks that continuously replenish the vehicles main tank will cause a P0460. Customers that replenish the vehicles fuel tank from the auxiliary fuel tank while the key is on and engine is running, can set P0460.
The newest calibration will contain a revised strategy to eliminate the occurrence of a false P0460.
Not easy to say which of the above is your issue without more information.
P0069 - You have a MAP/Baro correlation code - post the individual values for MAP and Baro (and EBP) - KOEO.
P2269 - You may not have water in the fuel (but it certainly might). Since it was submerged at one time, the sensor and manifold plate could be rusted and the current fuel and WIF reservoir contents could be fine. Drain the reservoir into a glass jar and report back what you find. If there is no water, then try cleaning the reservoir by blowing WD40 or something similar in there and flushing it out (bend a straw, stick it in, and flush). If that doesn't clear it, we can post part numbers for the sensor and manifold cover (again - if needed).
I assume your fuel filters are new and in good shape?

OK, got back to you. Drained bottom fuel filter to change. Drained it in a jar like you suggested. No water visible. So, shoot wd40 in the drain hole, before I replace the filter? Or, better yet take off the filter, since I'm changing it anyway, then blow it out with water displacement formula number 40?

I have never had mine drain when the sitting
even with the cover off. If your finding a lot of
rust you might want to think about blowing the
lines out back to the tank and cleaning the HFCM.
It's a lot of work but only the HFCM gasket and the
tank top seal if you do replace the seals.
