Gauge Idea
Ok so I'm betting somebody already thought of it, but I have yet to see it.
Someone should make temp sensors etc that plug into a harness and add a reading screen to the dash computer so that as you flip through mileage, trip odometer etc you will also come across a screen with whatever reading you wish to monitor.
I know you wouldn't be able to see them all at the same time, but some of us would just like to have the information and don't want a bunch of extra gauge bodies messing with the continuity of the interior looks of the truck.
Or maybe a digital readout that can be mounted in the dash that would read them all at once on the same screen maybe replacing the ash tray or something. I bet that one is already done.
Anyone know of such a thing already?

Both ScanGauge and Aeroforce Technologies make such a gauge, at least if I understand you correctly. Google them. Aero Tech is coming out with more all the time. Thier gauge is more capable then the Scan Gauge model because it reads more info.
Hope this helps.

The ScanGauge looks like it'll work on the '08

I had sent them an email about applications because thier guide is a little hard to understand (lists a F150 with a diesel?). They say that they should have a diesel model out in a few weeks. This probably means that it could be a few months. For me, its worth waiting for. Though I wouldn't mind having a four gauge cluster, the cost and time are not worth it to me. I don't have and will never have any substantial modifications that would make needing closer scrutinty of operating parameters necessary. Trans temp is the only thing I really want to have, then again a voltmeter would be nice too.
