Hi Kevin, thanks for the great video. I recommend everyone ensure there ScanGuage3's are connected to there WIFI networks and updated to the the latest firm ware version currently 1.18. Mine was at 1.13 and would not display oil pressure...However after updating firmware now I can monitor oil pressure.
Thanks for the Videos Kevin! I already had a SG3 for monitoring Trans temps and after your videos setup the fuel trims. Holy moly, 25 for long term fuel trim and 49 for short term. I wanted to turn it off as the numbers were so high I didn't want to see them! Put in a new MAF and bam, numbers read a total of 10 now. Thank you. going to look at your other Videos as my electric fans don't seem to come on till 217 degrees causing me to hit 230 coming into Austin NV. 03 P32 with the 8.1 52k miles
Kevin thanks for the review, this is exactly what I was looking for. Ordered from the link you provided. Looking forward to using it with my Workhorse 34D, keep up the great videos!
Yes... This scan gauge from Linear Logic can be a real asset to an RVer. With 3 screens each having 9 gauges you are in a Data rich environment. There are lots of other features tha Kevin will cover in future.
Bought one of these a few months back, great improvement over the scan gauge II, Thanks for the video Kevin. Looking forward to your MPG video, my next trip I'll monitor mine, us Workhorse owners can post up some MPG results, would be interesting.
Thanks much, I'm guessing if it won't read my oil pressure, perhaps I can stay on my scngg2, I believe it reads trans temp in x gauge mode, unless with significant additional benefits you still recommend the upgrade.
@@ktoutdoor yes sir, I got a response I believe from the manufacturer, and for my 1998 7.4 Chevy seems it will not read oil pressure if I read the text correctly
Thanks for the time you take to make these videos, I had a fuel pump going out but did not know it. It would set a knock sensor code now and then, but after the pump stopped working and I replaced it the code is gone. I guess I got lucky not to damage the engine.
Yes for sure, if you was running lean enough to set a knock sensor code. I hope you get yourself a Scangauge 3 someday 10 years ago I could hear the pinging sound while under load turned to be bad MAF .. then I got the scan gauge 2
Sounds like a belt squeal . You can hear every rotation. I’d try some belt spray and see if that eliminates it. If that’s not it , maybe a bearing on a tensioner or ac clutch
Keep in mind, no coolant may only read the steam temp in a sudden loss in your scenario. A hot engine will lose power and start knocking real quick. Refrain from standing on the throttle to compensate. Also, a lean condition creates audible knock. Brains protects an engine real well. Most people just floor it until it seizes or something real catastrophic happens.
Thank you for contributing I know what you mean 10 years back I could hear the pinging while going up a hill. it was the MAF... But most people I talk to after running lean say they had no warning at all. It maybe from all the noise the radiator fan produces that they cant hear the pinging.
I got the reply from the manufacture Hi Kevin, It will. Anything 1996 or newer gasoline vehicle sold in the United States has to be OBDII compliant. It should report the fuel trims, and for the GM specific XGauges It will likely be similar to your 8.1. It may not report Oil Pressure, but Transmission Temp should be there. Regards, James DeLong Linear Logic LLC Development Engineer
Well, since Santa didn’t come thru for me with one of these, looks like I will have to bite the bullet myself. Sure will be nice not to have to do all that long programming. Thanks my friend
Hi Kevin. Awesome. Just purchased the Scan gauge 3 for my 2005 Winnebago Adventurer. Do you have a summary of your settings available? That would be appreciated. Also, you changed your thermostat to 130 I believe. What should the reading be for an original thermostat? Cheers and thanks in advance! Fellow Owner JB PS mine is the 8.1 vortex workhorse as well.
I my video part 2 I go over my setting ua-cam.com/video/2_FocccxGv4/v-deo.html The original thermostat should be 195 I changed to a 180 years ago here is the video ua-cam.com/video/03nw2BOitOk/v-deo.html PS I would like to pick your brain about home inspections call or text my cell at 606-875-0125 Kevin
Happy new year Kevin. Thank you for this topic. Right now, my main concern is the fact that getting Scan Gauge 3 is important but more so is the fact that I will have to brush up on all the numbers, terms related with my W22 engine. I guess this will be my homework for 2023. Eagerly waiting for your other videos on this. Thanks again.
Thanks much, if it won't read my oil pressure, perhaps I'll be ok with my scngage2, i believe it reads trans temp in x gauge mode. unless you suggest with all the other benefits, I should still consider the upgrade.
Yes please upgrade the alarms that you can program may save your engine or transmission someday, and if you sell your RV some day you can use this in any vehicle.
Thanks Kevin. By the way, what is the web address for that screen shot you have of the error codes and what is reported? I have a 2001 8.1 on a P332 chassis. I would like a better source for the codes.
Also, Kevin, you mentioned that the fuel trim numbers may be higher with Banks modification. I recently purchased my 2001 Fleetwood Southwind with a P32 chassis. It did not have complete paperwork of previous engine services. I suspect that it has some Banks modification because it has a faded decal on the body that looks like it says "Banks" and it has two exhaust pipes on the passenger side. How can I tell what Banks modifications, if any, have been done. And again, how does that affect fuel trim readings? (or was it mass flow?)
There are different Banks systems see link below, With the Banks system installed you may be flowing more air than a stock engine, if you flow more air then you must flow more fuel to match. So that's why your fuel trim numbers could be as much as 15% long term and that would be considered normal but keep a close eye on it because you max out around 25% that's when engine damage may occur. bankspower.com/collections/compatible-products/year_2005_make_GM-Motorhome_model_W24_engine_8-1L-Gas Call or text 606-875-0125 Kevin
I have an issue where fuel trims will reach 21/22/23/24/25-ish range when I let off the throttle. When I am giving it gas it drops back to normal ranges. This is able to be reproduced each and every time. Any thoughts?
Hi Kevin. On the video of the oil pump is there a gasket that goes between the oil pump and the shaft? It only has one bolt and I have not found anything where there’s a casket what I did find out if there’s a collar that needs to be there between the shaft in the pump.
Kevin, I am strongly considering purchasing Scan Gauge but I’m concerned about leaving it plugged in all the time. I have seen a few you tube videos that instructed not to do so. Any thoughts on this?
I understood about half (or less) of your explanation of monitoring parameters (my fault not yours). Do you know why Allison 6spd temp cannot be monitored.....could it be because there is no signal being sent by the trans? Could a sending unit be installed in one of the lines that flows thru the trans cooler? Thanks for your videos.
I will try to do a better job of explaining fuel trims.. The 6 speed has a sensor but it seams it cant be unlocked .. but this would be a simple solution ua-cam.com/video/T0ezHdCoLKk/v-deo.html just bolt sensor to bottom of oil pan and your ready to go. Thanks for watching
That's great except, you're not going to get 400k miles out of a motorhome. The box and all it's contents will have fallen off or exploded long before that. Heck two videos ago your rig was trying to grow it's own rear entry gate. Let's face it Workhorse fans, it's time to move on to the Godzilla motor or go diesel.
Only time will tell I seen a guy on irv2 forum has got his 2002 W22 workhorse up to 175,000 miles so 200,000 would be a great goal imagine all the places he has seen.

Good timing, in fact I address that tomorrows video, PART 2 about updating and settings
Thanks for info, my understanding is it won't read oil pressure on my 1998 7.4 vortec
@@mellow611 You could add a gauge to it I like this brand amzn.to/3Xif2lJ

I run the scan gauge D for my diesel I just wish the screen was a little bigger safe travels and happy New Year
May they will make a scangauge 3 for the diesels
