latest 'must have' gauge - look
#21
I like that, is it possible to have that available with a white face plate as well to better match the Autometer Phantom series of gauges?
I think if I purchased one of these I would keep my triple pillar pod and then add the steering wheel pod for this gauge.
Could have used it tonight because I got a SES light tonight. Went to Auto Zone and the code was a 0406, something to do with the fuel level sending unit. Erased it and it hasn’t come back but even if it does no big problem but would have been nice to have one of these gauges to see the code and then erase it.

This is looking very good! I emailed Aeroforce with a few questions this morning and 3 minutes later had a reply.

Any ideas guys as to a logo or something Lightning related for the start up screen that Todd is referring to in his email?
I'm going to respond back to Todd's email to see what it will take to get the gauges into production.
Great thread Blue Bolt!

Hello,
I was reading on F150online(https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=206674) that your interceptor scan gauge will be available with a green display soon. While this is great news for Lightning owners such as myself, the ultimate would be if the gauge had the white face like the Autometer Phantom Gauges and your green display. Most lightning owners run the Autometer Phantom Gauges as they are almost a perfect match for our dash display. I noticed that you offer limited edition gauges that are unique to the GTO and Chevy SS. Would you consider offering a gauge unique to the Lightning by adding the white faces to the green display gauges?
I can tell you that if those gauges were available at this time I would take two right now and I believe that there are a lot of other Lightning owners that would purchase them as well. I truly hope you will consider customizing the gauge for the Lightning. Thank you for taking the time to read my email and I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Todd McWilliams

Todd,
The white face is a standard option, you can see them pictured on our web site. I think that we could do a special Lightning version with some sort of cool start-up screen with a Lightning logo, similar to the pictures I've attached.

If you wanted it Lightning specific you could use the Lightning bolt, or that and the word Lightning. It may be beneficial to simply use the SVT or Ford SVT logo in that it would be a unique gauge that could be used in other Ford SVT’s.
I offered to do some testing for him if needed. I have a 2005 Ranger XLT 4x4 (daily driver) and my daughters 2005 Focus. Not sure what kind of documentation comes with it but I also offered to do a write up on it, somewhat similar to the 36 page “Pillar Pod Gauge Install – Start to Finish” I did this past April.
I do a lot of that, or did in the past, in the line of work I do, process documentation, How To, process descriptions etc, that could lead anybody on how to do something and exactly what a process or piece of equipment is capable of.

Thank you!
Thank you!
Hopefully I will get the opportunity to do something with these OBDII gauges. I think the installation will be very simple but I may have an opportunity to write something up on how to use the functions and/or step by step. Like I stated before I have no idea what kind of documentation it comes with but would be very interesting to try out on all three vehicles here, the Lightning, Ranger and Focus and see what functions it will measure.
