just got mine today

 

I got mine in the mail today... And it is pretty cool.. Refreshes pretty fast too

 

got mine today, love it, but first thing that happened was the alarm went off for coolant temp @ 258?i dont think thats right

 

isnt that around where its sposed to be?

 

coolant temp should be around 190-200

 

Correct. If its reading 238 you have major issues lol. Mine hit 225 in Texas when my fan shroud fell and jammed the fan and it was making TERRIBLE noises

 

my moms astro van is usually at like 210

 

does this "alarm" beep? im still so confused by the unit lol

 

I'd rather just but an apexi and have super fast instant data and be able to get more power rather than just look at the pretty numbers.

 

got mine today and ran the factory test and the open/closed loop indicator is closed after running the factory test as soon as i turn the truck off then turn it back on it is like cracked open anyone else have this problem or can someone help me with it?

 

it still reads coolant temp at or around 250 in my truck, other than that its awesome. i cleared a friends check engine light today too


only thing is, i wanna put a switch somewhere in the line, but i dunno if its such a bright idea or not, but im already tired of unplugging it to save battery

 

I have had mine plugged in for the past week with no battery problems. My coolant temp runs between 190- 197

I got mine yesterday. It ships from California, so you guys on the west coast should get it pretty quick.
One thing I did notice is that when I plugged it in, it powered right up without the key in the ignition. After it scanned and found all the gauges for my Ranger it worked really well. Updates within a second. When I turned the truck off it took it about 5 seconds for the screen to go black. I still unplugged it though.
Found my O2 sensor was bad (imagine that). Plan on replacing it today and then clear the "check engine" light.
Overall I think it was a good buy.

 

ok just got done replacing my O2 sensor. Plugged in the ultra gauge, cleared the check engine light. all is good.
Reading the user manual, I found that even though the screen goes dark with the key off, The unit is still drawing power. So If you don't drive your truck everyday or have battery issues I suggest you unplug it when not in use.

 

I read in the user manual that this will occur when the vehicle is cold. I noticed mine did this as well and then would return to closed loop after a minute or so.
