...this may be something everybody knows or not many of you but I'm sure it will be news to some. Anyway with the truck off, if you hold the odometer reset button and turn the truck on, keep holding the button until you see the word "TEST" appear, now let go. You will now be able to monitor numerous different stats about the truck while you drive. Enjoy.

yeah it was cool when I found it....

I use it every once in a while, esp the tach reading, I like to know where my engine actually shifts, not the INACCURATE stock tach

 

I didn't know it... will that work on a 2003 L? Thanks

 

It works on my 03.

 

I cant even see my readout

 

cool, I' just tried it out on my 03 and yes it does work. I should be seeing the DTC5284 with engine off, right? doing research on this one now......

lightning66, i like the guages but i am sure if I had them I would lose focus and rear end someone. "well officer, you see I was looking at my boost gauge trying to see if it was hitting 16lbs of boost with this here new blower and BAM! I didn't even see that Geo Metro"

 

Ya, thats a cool feature, but how in the heIl do I set up the car so the lights dont turn on when i open the door?

 

Inside the cab or the ones on the outside (top/back of cab)? Whichever it is, I would also like to know the solution for this.

 

Fellas, I believe you'll have to either wire a manual switch in-line for them or buy a Chevy and use the "dome override" feature.

 

Not going to do either, I was just curious.

And I got rid of my Chevy to get the L. Much happier with the L
