Accessory Guide - Got Diesel?


With a glance at the X Monitor from BD Power, you can know if a truck's exhaust temperature, turbo boost, and transmission temperature are within the proper range. Tell the monitor what settings are not to be exceeded, and the easy-to-read fluorescent numeric display will flash if one of these functions goes beyond the specifications. The X Monitor also stores maximum-operating values for review, and the display brightness can be adjusted for comfort level. BD Power, Dept. TT10, P.O. Box 231, Sumas, WA 98295; 800/887-5030.
