Hello, first time posting other than declaring my jt ecodiesel had finally arrived in October, anyhow if you own an ecodiesel and already know about modern diesels and have engine monitoring tech than you can ignore this post. If you are a newby to the diesel world and jeep ecodiesels than listen closely, diesel engines today are complex and the manufacturers do not really have enough info gouges on exhaust gas Temps, dpf temp, dpf pressure etc. You can buy an expensive cts gauge cluster ($400) or you can buy a obd 2 Bluetooth reader on Amazon that plus into your obd port and have it send important data through a torque app on your smartphone that is very customizable and has many optional monitoring displays. You don't need the most expensive obd reader, I think mine was $30 and the torque app was $5 I think, I have had it for awhile. I always watch my exhaust Temps go down to a safe level before shutting the engine down or if I'm not going to be gone long from the jeep I just leave it running and lock it. I have some pics so you can see my setup. It's the cheapest way to go for monitoring regens and making sure your not going to cook your turbo by starving it from oil when you shut your engine off. I have the 67 designs single ball mount and it is the best mount I have ever had for my phone, props to them for making a quality product! In addition you do not have to be a tech guru to use the app and reader, just plug the reader in the obd port and pair it with your phone and open the app and start customizing. You will love being able to view all the tech data it provides!
