Just installed mine this afternoon. Honestly at first I didn't know if it was working. I only tried level 6 and stock. I have not towed anything , nor have I really tried to do anything hard. Just normal daily driving. Not much seat of pants different. I do have some questions. By the way , same install suggestions as previous post. Cable is just long enough, barely. Make sure to take the shortest route.
When you start the truck and walk out look at derringer under the hood. My led in blinking ORANGE. This staying like this for maybe 10 seconds then turns green and stays green until you turn off and restart. Same thing if you just power to accessory and don't start the truck.
Manual says should be green all the time. If not it is flashing a code or error. Mine never does any codes like explained in instructions , just starts off orange then goes to green.
I will tow with mine on monday, I would be willing to bet the gains will be better seen then. Install was super easy and clean. I went with the suction cup mount install of the pillar . I actually use my grap handle and didn't want to forfeit it. The suction cup mount looks pretty crappy and you can't hide the wires too well. I wish the it was lower profile and could be mounted from the bottom up on dash instead of hanging down from the windshield , it would look like a cleaner install.
I don't know what's best to monitor. What is everyones suggestions . I like to know what gear the tranny is in, SOT level, Oil temp, not sure what else .
I will report back next week with updated towing information for everyone. Since I drive with a very light foot, I was hoping to see a little gain in fuel mileage both empty and towing. Then at least I can not feel guilty for spending the money on this mod.
Suggestions on what to monitor?
Also can someone check their led light on derringer and report back.
thanks
