So really dumb question....if I plug one of these units into my 2002 YukonXL, will it tell me the fuel economy ?

It will tell you mpg, average mpg,gph,timing,air intake air temp,engine load,water temp,rpm,speed. in the trip mode it will tell avg. mpg,yesterdays mpg,todays mpg and more.

you can scan for trouble codes. it plugs in to any obd2 port. take it out of your truck and plug it in to another car.

my water temp in dash reads 208 when warmed up and driving but scan gage tell me its 193 and 195 at stop light. its cool to watch air intake temp as you drive. i might put my stock intake back in to see if there is a differance in temp. check out the web site. it does what they say.

Man, and I just bought and installed an Interceptor from Aeroforce. It is similar but will not provide average fuel economy and distance to empty and only displays 2 readings at once instead of 4. It also cost about $40.00 more. I will say the Interceptor may edge out the scan gauge in the "cool factor" as it is a 2 1/16 round gauge that I mounted on a single pod on my "A" Pillar. It looks really nice.

I wish I had found this before buying the Interceptor, I would have at least had another choice to consider.

Man this thing is cool! I like it better than the aeroforce. Only thing I do not see is a tranny temp display, which would be my main reason for getting one of these.

I did not notice that. You would think if the ECM reads it, the scan gauge would read it.

Well, I already have the Interceptor and certainly will not be spending another $170.00 for another gauge.

Maybe the original person who posted this can let us know if it reads Trans temp?

Ebay has them for about $148.00

Here is a link to the aeroforce which does state trans temp readings.

The only thing my Interceptor will not read on my truck is Oil Pres. I contacted Aeroforce and they said there are many V8s where the Interceptor will not read OP. I guess this reading does not feed through the ECM. Imagine that, something still works manually without a computer.

I just installed an Interceptor gauge on my truck this weekend.

All I can say is 'just awesome'! It tracks so much info, but as C&A's Dad mentions, it doesn't track oil pressure....unless 65535 psi is normal. ;)

Anyone have an idea of what 'normal temperature range' for the 4L60E tranny is ?

Hadn't had time yet to try out the 1/4mile timer though...hopefully soon!

Odd, I just installed mine yesterday. Mine displays the oil pressure.
