Having Dennis as a mechanic, I also have additional guages. He can be very convincing. By the way, I believe that readout on the usb is for the house battery only, not your charging battery.

Hi Dave,
Replying and hopefully your message goes through.
Interestingly, I actually have many additional gages on the dash. As part of the work Dennis did he installed two pods on my dash.
The VDO has three additional gages on it and the scan gage even more.
I think the first has oil temp, oil pressure, and trans temp The second can do many readouts and has four readouts that can change. I’m pretty sure this only works with the GW engine management system.Usually that one is on Coolant temp, Corrected speed dialed in by my tire size and such, I still have a lot to learn about the scan gage.
Owe, and we didn’t mention volt readout. I have that on the USB dash insert.
But, soon won’t we replace our instruments with a HUD display on the windshield?
And, I just learned what HUD stands for! This is the info visible on the windshield and you keep looking straight rather then down at the instruments.
Heads Up Display.

Also, compass, built in navigation, seat warmers, microwave, and ice maker.
But, come to think of it, I’ve seen just about all of this at one or another West River Westies camp out! And Disco ball, and pizza oven as well.
