Theres a couple of company's out there now that have the monitoring stuff for the iphone, Quadzilla comes to mind right off hand. Pretty cool stuff

Wonder if aero force supports the dmax ? Those would be cool also.

I know the Aeroforces do. Just not sure what years. The gauges I have in my silverado would work in a duramax if I plugged them in. If it's a LBZ or LMM they have a particular set for those engines. Otherwise they use the same as the gas silverados I do believe from looking at their site.

Here is what the LBZ/LMM gauges will read:
1. INTAKE AIR g - Intake Air Temperature
2. COOLANT TEMP g - Engine Coolant Temperature
3. BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
4. RPM g - engine Revolutions Per Minute
5. MAF SENSOR LB/M g - Mass Air Flow (lbs/min)
6. MAP SENSOR g - Manifold Air Pressure (kPa)
7. BOOST g – Intake vacuum/boost displayed in inHg/PSI. Corrected by barometer
8. MILES PER HOUR g - Miles Per Hour
9. RUN TIME MINS - engine run time is tenths of seconds since last engine start
10. BATTERY VOLTAGE- Alternator/battery output voltage
11. ENGINE LOAD g - calculated Engine Load (0-100%)
12. ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
13. INTAKE AIR 2 DM - Intake Air Temp. downstream of intercooler
14. TRANS TEMP AL- Allison transmission temp
15. TORQUE CONVERTER SLIP AL- Allison transmission converter slip
16. TQ TO TRANS AL- Engine torque delivered to trans
17. INJECTOR RAIL PRESSURE DESIRED DM
18. INJECTOR RAIL PRESSURE ACTUAL DM
19. THROTTLE PCT DM- Throttle percentage DM
20. THROTTLE VOLTS DM- Throttle sensor voltage DM
21. FUEL LEVEL DM
22. TURBO VANE POSITION DESIRED DM
23. TURBO VANE POSITION ACTUAL DM
24. MAIN INJECTOR TIMING DM
25. PILOT INJECTOR TIMING DM
26. MAIN INJECTOR PULSE WIDTH DM
27. PILOT INJECTOR PULSE WIDTH DM
28. MAIN INJECTOR FLOW RATE DM
29. PILOT INJECTOR FLOW RATE DM
30. Miles Per Gallon - instantaneous fuel economy for diesel vehicles
31. HP 2- Calculated net horsepower for diesel vehicles
32. Analog 1 – analog input #1.
33. Analog 2 – analog input #2

That's awesome ! Thanks for the info , I def need to get one now , I really would like to monitor rail psi delivered vs. actual, without having my laptop !
