What should i monitor on my lml???

sven55 · 02-26-2013, 07:38 AM

Hey guys, I am getting some gauges but dont know what to monitor. I am deffinetly getting boost and pyro. I am not doing a lot of towing. there are no mods, but in the future i will be doing stuff. I have a mini maxx off road tuner, just waiting to install it. So what should i monitor for my lml??? fuel pressure? oil pressure? trans temp? oil temp?

coolant temp ( since the factory gauge is faux), fuel pressure (desired and actual), maybe trans gear....I use the DIC for trans temp myself.

yeah i noticed the DIC has trans temp. but if i am not really towing, and it is all stock, do i need to worry about monitoring that stuff like oil and fuel and coolant?

i have rail pressure, coolant temp, egt, and gear on my cts. then boost on a mechanical gauge. dont even look at the rest of the stuff, and dont even look at rail pressure. just have it because i want something to fill the screen. lol

i have
-corrected speed (top right)
-avg economy (bottom right)
-boost (middle)
-gear/TC (bottom left)
-engine load (top left)

so glad i got this and the XRT Pro, vs just a minimaxx!! kinda like that south park episode with the two chinese guys " SO SO SMALL "

Just get an edge insight and be done with it.

ya , sell the tuner you have or trade with someone for an XRT unlocked, with some cash maybe and spend a little out of pocket and you have a programmer and the nice big Insight CTS monitor!

if you trust people to make transactions like that

The mini maxx can monitor 4 things at once. I put my mini maxx in my top pod spot, and then got pyro and rail pressure. on my mini maxx, i have boost, trans temp, coolant, and throttle %. Works awesome
