| I've got a couple questions about the aeroforce guage -
- Does it read engine temp?
- How do you control it ? I'm wondering about replacing the engine temp guage with the Aeroforce guage and keeping the vents, but then the guage wouldn't be physically accessible. |

Yes, it reads almost anything a regular scanner reads. It also reads and clears engine codes. It has an option to record performance too (1/4 mile time and hp) but I don't know how accurate it is.
You just push the button and it scrolls through the params. I think I have about 25 total. Well worth it IMO. |

| The button is on the guage face? |

Yes, 2 of them. You can display two params at once. |

| Can someone list all the parameters the Aeroforce gauge can display?

| Aaron, did you see the .pdf - Link Maybe you did, since the .pdf doesn't have a full listing either | Quote: | High intensity LEDs can be used as shift lights or warning lights to indicate when a selected parameter exceeds an entered threshold. |
That sounds cool.
What about this:
| Quote: | | Two user configurable analog inputs |
Would it be possible to run an input from the fuel sending unit into one of the analog inputs? Then those of us with nutty fuel sending units could get a NAPA sending unit, configure the Aeroforce guage to read it, and have a functional sending unit again.
Then you could get the double guage deal and replace both the temp and gas guages in the dash.
If you really wanted to get crazy perhaps you could find a way to rewire the scan guages to be controlled by the steering wheel buttons. |

| The Aeroforce gauge I bought has these new options on it:
"Bidirectional controls for GM, Ford, and Chrysler including fan control, CASE re-learn, PCM/TCM reset, and Power Stroke injector buzz and cylinder contribution tests"
What the hell does this mean in English?
Edit....nevermind...they have an on-line manual |

| I think you're going to like the Aeroforce gauge. If they had been available back when I bought my scanning software, I would've got the Aeroforce instead. Wouldn've saved me buying a laptop and palm device, plus it's a pretty cool-looking gauge. _________________ "An intercooled, supercharged, 280 HP Buick Riviera with neck-snapping acceleration and precise handling that proves GM can make something really interesting and competent, if only they would build more than one at a time." - John R.

| How does this compare with the HP Tuner,can you tune the pcm with it , or does it just display things.To me it seems somewhat pointless unless you can correct through programming. |

| Aeroforce has no tuning capability, but It's not pointless to scan. You can "tune" by changing SC pulley size, doing mods, etc. Programming the PCM is usually the next step. _________________ "An intercooled, supercharged, 280 HP Buick Riviera with neck-snapping acceleration and precise handling that proves GM can make something really interesting and competent, if only they would build more than one at a time." - John R.

| I totally understand where you're coming from, and you're absolutely right that by spending a bit more, you going to get the extra capability. The Aeroforce has another useful advantage, though:
It's permanently installed, acting as a gauge and has programmable alarms.
There is a very good chance you will not use your HP Tuners scan software everyday, and even if you did, it's not really safe or smart to monitor using a laptop or PDA while driving. So you have to log instead. The Aeroforce lets you record, but it also lets you monitor real-time. Could warn you of a potential problem days or weeks before you would notice any hard symptoms. _________________ "An intercooled, supercharged, 280 HP Buick Riviera with neck-snapping acceleration and precise handling that proves GM can make something really interesting and competent, if only they would build more than one at a time." - John R.
