So I just bought a new to me '99 Ranger. I think it has the 3.0 Flex Fuel (But don't know how to confirm this yet)

Anyway I want to use my SG in that to get a feel for 'normal' readings, and see that on SG.com there's an update to like 4.2, I have like 3.15 (*?)

Whats new/different in the new version? Worth $25?

Is there a code for oil pressure? Today the ranger had 0 or pegged L oil pressure for a mile, then it jumped to normal. I'm hoping it's electrial/gauge not a problem with the truck!


How accurate are the gauges if I just move the SG car to car w/o changing the setup to each engine type?

 

FYI I got this from LL:

- The ScanGaugeII now has a performance feature that allows you to record your vehicle's short trips and lets you go back and view 0-60 times, stopping times and distance.
- The engineers have designed a new menu systems that is easy to navigate and also a new user manual which is much easier to understand than the original
- The new software has corrected some minor bugs that were in the previous software, such as finding certain trouble codes (on rare occasion, some vehicles would display a P0000 code reading on the ScanGaugeII).
- There is now more enhanced X-Gauge capability
- Changes were made to units and now the ScanGaugeII can display KPL (kilometers per liter) and inches of mercury for the manifold reading.
- Currencies were added and now the ScanGaugeII can display Pounds, Euros, Yen, US dollars, and Yuan
- A feature was added that allows you to calibrated the ScanGaugeII in order to figure out boost [(if you vehicles reports MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure)] and horsepower.
- Average miles per gallon (AVG) and Trip Fuel Cost (TFC) were added as standard gauges
- A minor protocol (CAN long ID) glitch was fixed
- The compatibility issue between the SG2 and Mercedes Benz vehicles was resolved.
Unfortunately, we do not have oil pressure available for Ford vehicles.

 

The current latest revision as of today (11/05/13) is 4.12, not 4.2. The last MAJOR revision was 4.02. Mine is 4.06 and there were no changes from 4.06 to 4.12 that relate to a FEH.

IMO it's worth sending yours in...those are substantial updates.

 

Thanks for fixing it, I have short term memory loss aparently!
