? on Dp-tuner

Does anyone know if there is a screen that will work with the dp chip. Or will i have to put in piller gages. I know the commander works with alot of different tuners but i was wondering if anyone knew if it would work on the dp.

I actually have changed my opinion as to how well the obd monitors work. It really isn't the devices themselves, but it's the fact that they rely on where ford put there sensors and if those sensores are the best place to get your readings. I had used the outlook monitor which runs off the odb-II port and I have noticed different readings with regard to the tranny temp, and volt readings(the other two were egt(which is roughly the same because neither one is getting it's info from the truck's computer) and boost, which I do believe is pretty accurate from the factory). I have seen cooler tranny temps and lower voltage reading coming from the truck's computer then those from the analog tranny(in the pan) and the analog volt(connected to the battery), so I really do worry about using the factory sensors. I don't think it's any of the monitor's fault, I just think that it is a problem with relying on the truck's factory sensors. I think it's better to go analog.

The commander unit does not work with our F5 chip. What we have right now is the New Ford Edge Evolution II that Jody can put his tunes on.

A pillar gauges leave a BIG blind spot. I am working on installing mine and a buddy just did his. He said it take a lot of getting used to.

I love pillar guages! Been running them for a few years now and have no problems with blind spots? Just me though.........your mileage may vary?
