I would personally stay away from the watchdog.

I've read ALOT of review from people that are having troubles with the watch dog and have sent them back. The readings are slow and not accurate.

If I remember correctly the watch dog plugs into your OBII port, along with the probe for your EGT and another wire. Also from what I've read, the readings are slow b/c they are coming from he OBII port, there is to much delay time. Most off my findings/what I've read were from guys with dodges. And I know there different than a Duramax but the parameters there suppose to read are the same.

I've also talk to 2 people that have the Scout and they LOVE it.
It has some delay, but that is expected when using digital gauges. They said the deal was very minimal and not noticeable.

The one thing that I don't like about the watchdog is that there is only one model for a gas or diesel. Where as the Scout is engine specific, LB7, LLY, etc.

I am looking at getting a Scout and I will report my experience with it.

This is just my 0.02 cents and what i've come across from reading.

If anybody out there has one there Duramax they can be more help to our engines.
