I WOULD LIKE TO INSTALL A SET OF MONITORING GUAGES INTO THE OBD 2 PORT ON MY WORKHORSE CHASSIE ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
I NEED A AFTERMARKET SUPPLIER
I have the Scangauge on my Workhorse. Gives you more information that you can use. There are two things missing. It will not give you the oil pressure or the transmission fluid temperature. It is not Scangauge's fault, the information is not available on the OBD port. But is is worth the $150 and very easy to install.
BTW, I have heard that you can get tranny temps with the 5 speed Alison but not the 6 speed. I cannot verify, I have a 6 speed.

You are correct IF you have an older WH that still uses the the older data connector. I believe the newer units since 1996, with the OBDII connector, will give you the trans temp as well as a whole host of info that will let you know everything that is going on with your engine. If you contact ScanGuage at Scangauge II and give them the info about your engine/transmission, they will let you know what you can read with their gauge. Obviously your engine has to have the sensors installed at the factory or the Scangauge II cannot read them. If the Allison 6 speed does not have the temp sensor you cannot read it with the ScanGauge. You will want the XGauge software with the newer ScanGauge II to get the maximum amount of info.

Actually I have contacted ScanGauge about the tranny temp. They did not have a working XGauge code for the 6 speed Alison. If anyone has one that works, please post it here.
