Ultra-gauge

I bought one of these to monitor gas mileage and other interesting stuff on the Trailblazer (Ruby).

I took it for some test runs, but to get accurate results I still need to calibrate distance using mile markers. It collects info from a set of vehicle sensors then performs calculations to provide an array of information that can be displayed.

That's it!! The Maverick needs a Phase 2 with OBD II.

Great idea, Jim! Run with it! We can start looking for late model, OBDII motors right away!

Still have some Phase 1 things to do. Willy and I got the Taurus fan almost installed. Just hafta do the physical mount on one side. Also need to get the Traction Loc installed. Then I'll want to drive it for a while and establish a base liine at the track.

If I could convince wifey to sell the boat I could pick up something like a gently used 5.0 Lincoln donor and put it in the boat garage. Or were they 4.6L by '96? 4.6 doesn't fit between the shock towers. I can start thinking about it.

Maybe next winter. Of course, at my age, that's long range planning ...

The only 5.0's that were OBDII were in Explorers / Mountaineers...

Thanks for that! Been wondering if there were any OBD II 5.0s but hadn't researched it yet. May look for a 2WD donor some day. Those rear disks with minor mods have been used on Mavericks too.
