Default New scangauge installed w/ pics

Installed my Linear Logic ScanGauge II today....made a mount for the overhead console from a cutting board Coated it with some satin black Krylon spray paint for plastic.....Turned out pretty good I think.

Made templates on the rest of the cutting board


Backside....used a hot glue gun to secure everything


Couple pics of the front side. Angled the gauge towards the driver's side a little bit.



...and some installed pics.

That looks good, pretty ingenous to use a cutting board
Your doing so much to your truck it's probably going to seem like you got a new one. BTW when you finish your suspension if you can still see the blue paint in the rear fender wells...paint it black and it will blend in and look better.

I haven't had a chance to drive with it yet.....put it in while I'm waiting for the rest of my drop parts to show up.

I can't claim it as my idea unfortunately....the guy at Lowe's that I talked to suggested it.

Good idea with the fender wells. I'll have to see what it looks like when I get it all done.

If you pull the sun visor off there's plenty of movement in the headliner and plenty of room to run a wire.

It get all it's data from the pcm, so it would show you the same things that any scanner would show you.
