Spring time is just around the corner... Like many of you, I've got a very expensive car that I can't drive because the OEM gauges have failed. With little sign of help from the mfg on the horizon, for me, it's time to start considering some alternatives. I'm not prepared to replace the...

Now, will our government return the 49 million dollar fine they levied against Toyota? I'll bet not... mardyn

deal if it works.... mardyn

x2... Has our gauge issue fallen off the radar over there at Ford/SVT? Any information at all forthcoming? mardyn

I heard it will be built on the Taurus chassis with FWD.

Yeah, they're (Ultra Gauge peeps) are at a bit of a loss to explain it.... without a car or FGT PCM to examine, it appears that the unit is incompatible, at least for now. .and this thing was gonna' be such an elegant temporary solution to my dash gauge failures while we await for an actual...

My SCT unit worked fine last time I had it on... I'll check it tomorrow and verify it can still communicate with the car. Thanks for the help. mardyn

Here's the device I'm trying to use: http://www.ultra-gauge.com/ultragauge/index.htm Tried it on my '04 Chevy Z71 & it linked up immediately, no so much so with the FGT. The techs over at UG are on it as well. mardyn

Hmmmm.... possibly, tune is by Torrie, but I can't really see that aspect denying the scan device access to the PCM. Good thinking... keep those suggestions coming. mardyn

I recently purchased a OBD device to use with my car, but for what ever reason, when plugged in, it can't seem to communicate with the PCM. Is there some programming trickery in our FGT processors that must be dealt with for access? Tried the unit on my truck and it works fine. Any thoughts...

I believe the Pros have a device that will pull a vacuum on the windshield/chip/crack and upon release of the resin, it all gets pushed/sucked into the void in the glass. good job over there. mardyn

Thanks for the number... my FGT Optima is headed toward my gate opener just as soon as I can get my hands on the replacement. mardyn

Yeah, it doesn't get driven much at this point, when I do drive it, I'm using my SCT Live Wire display to monitor some of the pertinent engine parameters. And again, I'll mention that I too am not looking for any free/warranty replacements from Ford SVT, but I do expect them to resolve the...

I'd be curious to know how many FGT owners are currently running their cars with failed gauges... Can anybody beat three? Speedo, Temp & Boost are all currently out on my car. mardyn

Congrats to everyone that carried the FGT flag at the Texas Mile... were there any "lesser powered" GTs running down there this weekend? The TTs and Whippled cars seem to get all the glory and attention cause of the big numbers... How did some of the other "stockers" fair on the Mile? mardyn

I've let a few people drive mine... my wife, a friend who worked for me, another friend who does the annual state inspections... that's about it. I've got a couple other friends that I'll let take a drive, but I know a bunch more that wanna' drive it, but never will. Oh yeah, step daughter...

My dislikes are that ridiculous sub-woofer (and its placement, not to mention cost) and of course our mysterious gauge issues. mardyn

My temp gauge has now failed too, in addition to the boost gauge and speedometer.... the continued silence from Ford/SVT on this issue is deafening. mardyn

Wow, that was a steal at 71K... mardyn

That is beyond cool... Did Lee elaborate on the cost to build one of those these days? mardyn
