VMS, gauge alternative???
I saw this product when I was looking at buying a F-650 with the Cat 3126 engine. It's called the VMS or VMSpc from SilverLeaf Electronics (http://www.simply-smarter.com/). It's a stand alone monitor system or a software program that runs on a laptop computer which gets info from the ECM (Electronic Control Module) of the engine. It's tailored to RV's, but should work for other vehicles. It displays a lot of information, more than a couple of guages could; boost, MPG, system voltage, tranny and engine temp, oil pressure, total mileage, engine hours, etc... There must be something available out there, since Ford uses WDS and NGS+ units which plug into the OBDII port for real-time diagnostics.
Does anyone know if this will work with the 6.0 engine? If this product does not work with the 6.0, is there some other similar product that will work?

got one, love it. I havent used it on my 6.0 yet, i have been too lazy to update the software, but is updateable online. Just plugs into your laptop. Also gives you a speedo that is good to 155.
