Bushpilot, Did you use Forscan to show the actual temp for coolant and trans above each gauge?

Well this might be a good thread to ask this question. I use FORScan Lite to monitor my 6.7. A lot of info including Exhaust filter load. On my truck (2022 f-350 Powerstroke) the instrument cluster reads much higher than my forscan app. ie. instrument cluster 35% full. Forscan OBDII app 16%. Now I'm wondering which I should pay attention to. I turn off my Auto Gen so as to let it go past the 500 mile mark and turn it back on when it gets close to 100%.
Which do you all think is more accurate?

From the manual… not “made up on forums.”
