Okay, I got mine now and kicked the tires a little today.

The first thing I noticed is that on my truck, the OBD port is located in such a way that the cord hangs down right in front of the clutch pedal. I had to kind of twist my foot to reach the pedal with my toes. I also bumped the cord out with my leg once. I'm thinking about seeing if I can relocate the OBD port for convenience. Anybody else had this problem?

Also, has anybody used this on a diesel? It was 3 fuel options: Mass air flow, IMAP, & direct. I assumed a diesel should use the direct method, but when I use it it just gives me 0.0 mpg and fuel flow of 0 gal/hr. However, at the end of my trip, the trip summary screen (I can't remember the exact name) said the mean fuel flow was 0.8 gal/hr, which is very reasonable. I also tried usring the MAF & IMAP settings, but they gave bogus numbers like a trip mpg of 700 mpg.

Anyway, guess I got some troubleshooting to do...
