Instead of making a new thread, Ill ask my questions here. How accurate are the readings such as Coolant temp, 0 to 60 times and ICP. The main thing that im worried about is coolant temp. I plan on doing E-fans some time and want a good coolant temp guage before I do it. How does it get its HP levels? And what colors and lighting did you guys get? I have Autometer Ultra-lites now and woud like to match them.
Thanks
John

HP levels I don't think work on the OBS either but I have not tried it. I might be it based on 1/4 mile time and weight but I am not sure.

Here is picture of mine with blue screen, chrome bezel and silver face

With the silver bezel and light of you choice it will match the Ultra lites great. I have ultra lites and Cobalt 2 all with blue lighting so mine works with them all.

Thanks Tim, couple more questions:

What functions dont work on the OBS?

Is there any other place to get the temp senders other than the Aeroforce website itself?

Is there any way to add more analog inputs other than the factory 2?

If I under stand it correctly I can make the check engine light come on if tranny temp gets too high or other things get where I dont want them.

Thanks for the help. Looks like Ill be ordering soon.

Most of the functions listed here under the A1C -Powerstroke parameters work
Terminator Engineering
Except I don't think I have seen injector timing and coolant temp. For the SD's they can see TC slip, coolant temp and a few others. Also MPG doesn't work.

I would imagine. I think they just use a standard GM sender but you might have a hard time finding a connector

You can add 4 is you get 2 scan guages

The warning lights at actually 2 built in LED's in the gauge. You can set them for any parameter high or low

Read the Blue. I think I covered everything.

Ok I got the gauge today and just installed it. Couple questions for you guys who have them. How do you turnit from C to F degrees? I am metric dumb and the reading makle no sense to me. Second My icp will read voltage but no pressure- I see Tims above this post has it. Could this be the ICP or the gauge. It does read the voltage. I have a resistor inline but that shouldn't do anything but give a lower reading than actual right? Once Iget this thing figured out and setup it will be awsome-just so much Info with two tiny buttons
