Well I had just ordered a scangauge II, then canceled my order when the ultragauge was mentioned so I can think it over a bit. I will be towing about 5000 lbs for a few longish trips next year, so would the scangauge be worth the extra price for the trans fluid temp gauge? Or should I just save a few bucks and go with the ultragauge? Will be both work in an older vehicle if I get a beater car next spring?

My grille block is duct tape over cardboard as I test that very stuff out, so if I have to remove it I won't feel bad. You might consider doing something similar.
That's a great idea. I'll start mocking one up tomorrow out of cardboard before I start work on a more finished product. Thanks for the tip.
