I've applied for a username twice, they still haven't approved it yet. Can't post without an account. Bull****.

22. LONG TRIM B1 – long term fuel trim bank 1
23. LONG TRIM B2 – long term fuel trim bank 2
24. ENGINE LOAD
25. FUEL STATUS
26. RAIL PRESS – fuel pressure at the rail #1
27. RAIL PRESS 2 - fuel pressure at the rail #2 – works on Ecoboost
28. MPG
29. HP
30. RUN TIME – Engine run time. Resets after each ignition cycle
31. LAMBDA
32. CMD EQ RAT – commanded equivalency ratio
33. B1S1 EQ RAT – actual equiv. ratio bank 1 (A/F ratio)
34. B2S1 EQ RAT – actual equiv. ratio bank 2 (A/F ratio)
35. BAROMETER
36. BATTERY
37. IAT2 – limited Ford support – use #2 above instead
38. FUEL TEMP
39. PEDAL POSITION – accelerator pedal position 0-100% - limited support
40. CURRENT GEAR 1 – current trans gear – limited support
41. CURRENT GEAR 2 – current trans gear – limited support
42. TCC SLIP 1 – torque converter slip
43. TCC SLIP 4 – torque converter slip – Taurus SHO and others
44. HEAD TEMP 1 – cylinder head temp
45. HEAD TEMP 2 – cylinder head temp – Eco boost and others
46. TRANS TEMP 1 – trans oil temp 1
47. TRANS TEMP 2 – trans oil temp 2
48. TRANS TEMP 3 – trans oil temp 3 – Taurus SHO
49. TRANS TEMP 4 – trans oil temp 4
50. O2 B1S1 mv
51. O2 B2S1 mv
52. MAF FREQ – Mass Air Flow Sensor output (frequency). Must have MAF sensor.
53. Analog 1 – analog input #1
54. Analog 2 – analog input #2

*Vehicle must have a Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF) for mpg and hp to function. The 3.5L
Ecoboost does not have this sensor.

Thanks BucketMan, and although it's not on the list coolant temp can be chosen on the gauge as well.

This post is quite disturbing, there are a lot of things I don't understand. You emailed us questions the first and only time on Sat. 8/16, your questions were answered Monday 8/17 when we were back at work. We have a tech forum that is live 24/7, but I understand you could not get the auto approval. I manually approved you on the 17th as well, although I have no idea why it wouldn't work automatically, there have been no other issues with anyone.

The manual, found here on our Manuals page linked from the top of each page on our website,:

http://aeroforcetech.com/files/Inter...L_rev_3_81.pdf

is clear that platform 4 is what you need, and the platform 4 parameters are all listed on page 25/26 in the Ford Appendix. Someone said that platform 4 isn't on the sheet any more, not sure what you meant, they've always been there. I just checked it and this version, 3.8.1 has been up since last spring.

Bucketman, I sent you an email first chance I got on Monday, never heard back. I don't know what more we or any company can do than what we have for you. You wrote us your questions on Sat. and we responded on Monday. Regarding the forum, obviously something unusual is going on with our server and your email client if you did not get a response email. Did you check your spam folder, blocked by a filter?

Our gauges are made in the USA with the highest quality parts available. We don't glue on a plastic bezel or crimp on a cheap paper thin piece of stamped steel, our bezels are a machined piece of aluminum that you can screw on/off and allows you to customize your gauge with countless different faces and bezel combinations. We added separated high intensity warning lights rather than just change the color of the display when an alarm is triggered, to make the display easier to read in this situation as well as give an overall higher quality appearance. The buttons we use and have used since 2004 virtually never fail, we've had to replace maybe 2-3 out of tens of thousands.

Anyway, we've worked hard since 2004 to build a satisfied customer base and provide timely customer support through a variety of formats. I don't know if you bothered to watch our videos, you certainly didn't give us much (any) time to reply to your email. It's a shame to see a public post such as this before you gave us a chance to work with you on your questions.

This may be a great time to reflect on the website's ease of use. It would appear that locating the proper manual is incredibly difficult for the end user.

I was the individual that noted the absense of the platform 4 parameters and the point of reference was the .....that is provided on your web site. FYI ... There are no platform 4 parameters for Ford (CAN) vehicles or for that matter any other vehicle.

So ... It would appear that there is a disconnect between the 2 documents that are provided.

BTW ... Have purchased SEVERAL of the Interceptor gauges over the years; the 1st being in 2006 and the last one just last year. And ... As a VERY SATISFIED customer have frequently recommended your product(s).

I'd also like to add, I'm very satisfied with mine, as well.

brucesears

Same here, no problems at all. I've had mine about a year and a half. The only thing I don't like about it is when programming, sometimes its a little slow to respond.

How would you like to see it changed? Currently the Quick Start manual that comes with the gauge provides the link to the manuals. Or, you can go to the home page and click the manuals link at the top. The QS manual states to look at the sticker on the back of the gauge for the version, then click on the same version from the list on the website. For example, you guys are getting the V3.8.1. If you go to the manuals page:

http://aeroforcetech.com/manuals.html

you'll see all the manuals in numerical order and if you look down the list a little way you'll see the V3.8.1 manual.

That seemed the most straight forward to me.

I'm open to a clearer way of doing this if you want to suggest one. Thanks.

I see. Yes, the "parameters and features" document is not completely up to date I see. The manuals are though.

Thank you very much!
