Default Boost gauge question!!

How do you get the boost gauge to be displayed. Is it on the dash info screen or through the sync3. Thanks

Lowly XLT folks like us are not allowed to see boost. You need to buy an aftermarket device or tuner that plugs into the ODB-II port in order to see it.


I use Garmin Mechanic, but I think it's been discontinued.

Lariat trim level has boost gauge in productivity screen in the dash cluster. XLT does not.

Ok, so I have to go aftermarket, what a bummer.

With mine, I have the 8" screen, Lariat 502a, it just swaps out with...I believe the temp gauge. You find the temp gauge in there and click ok and it swaps out

I tried to switch the temp gauge and it went to Celsius instead of Fahrenheit, but no boost.
