Scan Gauge II

I am looking into one of these. I have a 99 f150 4x4 5.4L. I want it mainly for water and trans. temp.
Does anybody have one of these and how do they like it?? Would anybody recomend one??
thanks-

I have the Scan Gauge I and like it,I've turned the check eng light off and read codes on other vels.The Scan Gauge II does more and some time I'll get the newer one.It has helped me on my driving and gaives me numbers to read and not just a gauge to read with high or low on it.

I love mine so far. The TFT (Transmission Fluid Temp) is a fun gauge to have, and the trip computer built into the unit is top-notch.

def. worth the money guys. saves gas like a SOB! do a run like you normally drive and see how much your sucking down compared to backing off just a hair. goes from 17.5 mpg to 22.2 in an instant!
