Thumbs up I found the Wide Band 02 sensor I am going to go with...

AEM has new Wide Band sensors with display. Basically all I wanted to do was monitor my A/F's using a wide band. No plan on logging or going with an aftermarket computer so this was perfect. Easy to read digital read out, fits in a 2 1/16 gauge pod, and comes is different colors including white faces with black ring. It also has a sweeping LED that changes color when you go from Rich to lean. Also AEM has been in tha game for a long time and we have used many of their products so you can count on a quality product! I just orderd one in and will post pics of it when I install it as well as do a write up on it when I see how it works.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that you can run this in place of one of your stock 02's!! It comes with everything you need so that it doesnt throw of you computer so you wont throw a code. I will be most likley just welding a bung and but this in totally seperatly but am not sure yet. Makes no difference either way.

Awesome! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it. I'm in the market for one right now and not quite sure which one i want to go with...kinda in between the AEM and the LM1.
I"ve always been amazed at how so many L owners are so scared they're going to run lean and blow a motor yet no one wants to drop a few bucks for a wideband meter. Seems like pretty good insurance to me.

It looks like a nice unit, but it is the wrong A/F ratio's for our truck

11-17 is the wrong range for me.

My A/F ratio on the dyno is a 10.0 so if it doesn't go down to 10 it is no good for me.

here is one I am concidering

You should be able to find them for about $450 US. Thats is a great price! But I have seen it go for as much a $630. Full retail is $660 I think.

Yup you are right. This one does only go fro 11-17. However my only purpose for this gauge is to make sure I do not run to much of a lean A/F. So I am not concerned with anything under 11. If you are using this for tuning then the Lambda one will solve that problem. But like I said in my original thread I do not worried about logging or tunning or anything. Just want to know if I am running too lean. (Safety measure)

The only reason I do not like the DynoJet one is I do not want an anologue gauge. I think have heard there are coming out with an LED gauge. I know the LM1 unit is going to have an LED display in about June.

10.0?? Damn, I htought my truck ran rich

Does anyone know if the AEM's digital read out continues to read below 11? Above 17? Would seem reasonable to me.
