First experience with DPF regen after installing Scanguage 2.

[SargeDiesel]

I have the ScanGauge 3 and agree it is better than the 2, I just greatly dislike the amount of space it takes up for the Jeep… it blocks a big enough section of the windshield to be annoying, and doesn’t really fit anywhere else.

I have mine mounted using the included window suction cup. It sits in the corner of the windshield sandwiched between the a-pillar grab handle and the upper dash speaker grill. Its completely out(mostly)of site unless you are looking for it.

I will try to get a better pic tomorrow if it ever stops raining.. lol

Even though JScan can monitor a couple functions, I don't think its purpose built, detailed or has the capacity/potential of the Scangauge.

IMO, if I had a JScan, then I would use it, but if I was buying a stand alone device just to monitor my diesel engine, then hands down, I would buy the SG3. But I also have a Tazer and use it for similar JScan functions.

Most of what I monitor can be done with the off road pages. Soot level is important and really the only thing I want to “monitor” until it’s tuned.

This thread has had me reading into jacan, and I really do like the ability to force regen if needed. - probably going to pick up this capability once I figure out what obd2 reader thing is worth the $$. (Something to consider if your keeping the emissions equipment).

edit/update. Picked up the obd Mx+ and jscan and gave the force regen a try. holy hot…. @SargeDiesel

Exhaust tip temps

Enough to dry the cement post rain

Yeah, I definitely think being able to force a regen would be a nice feature to have.

I'm still in the process of trying to figure out all of the SG3 codes... I was going to post all the pics I took of them and make a "fill in the blank" list after the abbreviation... but it would be a very long post... the information has to already be available somewhere... just no where I've been looking... ha ha

Here are a few examples of some of the codes:

I don’t have my JTRD yet, as it’s still at the dealer, but I planned on getting the SG 2. I don’t know the size of it, but I planned on putting it between the rear view mirror and top. Will it fit in there? If someone could check, I will get this thing ordered up right away.
Thanks

Yup. That where i installed on mine. The cable is just enough to reached too.

One feature that i wish on SG2 is to have the back light flashes a few times when regen kicks on, which i think can be achieved with reprogramming the software.

Another quick question. If you’re plugging in the SG into the OBD port, what about plugging in a tazer and leaving it in? Is there a splitter of sorts to have both in?

The tazer plugs in above the OBD2 port- no issue.

Yep, totally different plugs. OBD2 for SG, SGW for tazer

Awesome. Thanks for the answers.

I have the Banks iDash mounted to the pod they make to the grab handle. It does it all!
