EcoDiesel Best Practices

[grimmjeeper]

While you've got your credit card out, buy a PedalMonster to go with the iDash. Best two accessory purchases you'll make for the EcoDiesel. The PedalMonster seems like classic snake oil, and I'm a suspicious person, but you'll be sold after a test drive.

You will have had dozens of regens in 35K miles. The Jeep doesn't tell you that it's doing a normal regen. It only tells you when it's wanting you to complete a regen cycle because you've interrupted too many and your soot level is too high.

The only way to see the normal regens is to get an aftermarket scanner like a Scangauge or a Banks iDash or something like that.

I have about 35k on my Jeep and the dash has never indicated anything about a regen. But I see them all the time on my iDash and I try to let them complete as often as is convenient.

What makes the Banks iDash the superior choice over ScanGuage2 ?

and what specifically makes the iDash *play nicer* with the PedalMonster other than being the same brand ?

I couldn't say which one is superior.

I have the iDash and it works well for me. I have no experience with the ScanGauge so I can't comment on whether it is better or not.

The iDash and PedalMonster work together in a way that you can adjust the PedalMonster via the iDash controls and the iDash graphically depicts the PedalMonster actions when you get on the throttle. Also, Banks makes an A column mount to better integrate the gauge. With the column mount the iDash looks factory, whereas the Scangauge always looks like it was tacked on. Functionality-wise the Scangauge is a fine instrument, but it always looks out of place.
