Trying to set my new G-Tec and in orger to get HP ratings from it, I have to enter the weight to my truck...with 1/4 tank of gas and myself at 180LBS....any ideas?????
Do these things work all that well?

 

Mine weighed in at 4650 with 1/4 tank of gas.

As for accuracy... 0-60 is close (.1 or .2 roughly). ET for the 1/4 is close as well, but mph is normally 3-5 high...

 

At the track and on their certified scales, mine weigh's in at 4,630 lbs. But, that's with me at 170 lbs and the tailgate, hitch, spare, and jack removed. Try checking the SVT info or your factory paperwork.

@-Cool--- I didn't get the manual with this as I bought it used...just from playing with the push button switch, it looks like I have to turn it on and off at 60....please tell me that is not so...how does this work.
If I hold the button in and release it, it starts a count upward untill I hit it again...shouldn't it be automatic?

 

Dayum... for once I actually have a manual close by... you got lucky.


- When the G-tech flashes "Accl" press the button once. It will flash, and a couple seconds later it will activate the acceleration mode.
- Set the switch to the middle setting.
- Push the button. It zeroes out and displays -Go-
- Soon as you mat it the timer will start. It will blink the 0-60 time when you hit that speed... either ease off at that point or keep into it and the timer continues for 1/4 times.

Almost forgot horsepower mode... more complicated
- Turn it on. Take it off the bracket in your hands.
- Press the button once when "Accl" is showing.
- Change the switch to the left position.
- Input weight... basically hold it level, press and hold the button as you tilt it up or down, watching the display till you get the right number showing. let go of the button.
- Put it back on the bracket.
- Push the button, wait for -Go-
- Take it up hard to redline. Slow down and check the readout.

 

2-cool, you Da MAN....thanks...saves me countless hours of testing to try to figure it out.
I noticed they did not have a manual on line at their web page either.
Thanks again.....gotta go run to the store and check it out...just as soon as the directions quit printing...

 

2COOL, I must be we tar ded.....I figured out how to set the weight, but only get flashing numbers and a dash on the left side.
What am I dooing wrong, I don't get "Accl" or "go"?????

 

Once you get the weight set, let go of the button. It will flash the weight for a few seconds then will go to showing G'force numbers. So basically set the weight, let go of the button when its right, and then go ahead and put it back on the bracket while its flashing. Wait for it to go to numbers, then push the button once to get it to -Go-

 

When does it flash "ACCL"?
Does the truck need to be running?
