Volt Meter
I noticed my new 2017 F-350 XL has no volt meter. This is something I've gotten accustomed to monitoring while plowing. I couldn't seem to find it in the menu either, nor did I notice an idiot light on start up bulb check. Are there any good digital aftermarkets that you guys are using? Thanks.

eBay has digital volt meters you simply plug into a cigarette lighter receptacle ... AKA: 12V power port.

Forscan Lite allows you to access a ton of sensors and display on iPhone or Android. I've added volts, %DPF and % oil life to the display on my phone.

If you have dual alternators, FORScan allows you to monitor the output of the generators (alternators) independent of one another.
