Gregg;  Can you share the X-Code number you added ?  Better results than I am getting. Mine Only shows a "Suggested Gear" in the X group, and it stays at "Neutral, and never changes when in motion.

Have a long trip tomorrow for work, would like to try and put that "Gear" code in, and see what happens.

To monitor what gear you are in for towing would be most helpful.

 

Thanks.

I will be buying the scan gauge 3 Monday, as the gear indicator does work, at least on my scan gauge 2. Torque converter slip works also, but I do not have it understood yet. I was looking for lock up

Proof of concept.   Man this thing climbs through the gears quickly.

I put the codes into my SG3 and called the display "Gear"  When I started the truck it showed "1" no matter if it was in D,R or Manual select. Its blocked inside the barn right now all clean and warm while it rains and sleets outside. Not willing to waste 2 hrs of cleaning to test it our right now. Maybe if we get a nice day this week. I will post the results. Thanks for the help. 

64BAwagon,  When you have time, could you share the X-Code #'s you put in the SG-III ?  Long trip tomorrow see if it works.

Happy holidays all !

Just looked back into the posts by Gregg , to last Sat., and saw the X-Code #'s, he put in his SG-II that show "GER", is working, and 64BAwagon says works so far in his SG-III. Will put those in my SG-III today, and see what I get.

 

Thanks All !!

Where in your sg did you load that up? I will see if I can add the code and get gear but maybe it’s only for the 10spd. Can’t hurt to try

I'll have to check out SG3.  My SG2 has been great, but one time it had issues, I contacted SG and they said send it in. I did and they fixed it and sent it back, no charge.  This is after owning it for 7yrs. Great company!  I use it on my Cruze diesel to keep track of regens and transmission temps.

Starting on page 31 in the SG-III manual, shows how to Add more displays to the X-Gauge list. 4 lines of code to type in, then assign a name for it, in an empty slot, someone did "GER" for his SG-II, can do "GEAR" for the SG-III. Going to do this in mine today.

On the https://www.scangauge.com/support/x-gauge-commands/, says can see the codes to type in.

No dice for the gear x gauge with the 6spd. Just displaying 0 at all times. Oh well. I put total misfire count in it’s place and removed fuel volume which seems useless and put in trans output speed.

I am still fine tuning mine. I added a couple of warnings for the coolant temp and oil temp. I still havent driven it though, it snowed this AM and the roads are still sloppy and I just cant bring myself to drive it and get it dirty just for this. First world problems of retired people.

That's weird. I have the Scan Gauge II and the 6L80E and my X gauge gear indicator works fine.

Is it that same set of numbers that were posted here? Wonder what’s going on. Pretty sure I entered it all correctly

I would try again, theres a lot of numbers/letters and I rarely get it right the first time around.

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
