I was wondering or maybe taking a poll of your DIC ( ok sorry enough) but what do you leave on as the display? I like to do the Ave MPG to see how high I can get it. But will flip to see what my trip mileage is on this tank. Maybe that is why I drive more gently now, I see what happens when my foot gets heavy the numbers just fall.

12 inches errr um I mean Instant MPG. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clown.gif

You dang Canadians always over inflate what is the rate 60% now?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif

Avg MPG. Why I don't know, I guess I keep it there hoping it will go higher than 13.8.

I think it really keeps me in check, cause/effect

Vehicle odometer, guess it's just habit....http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif


Max's display would just depress me.....http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif

Usually on Ave. MPG as well.

Off

Usually, instant MPG.

Sounds like Max might need a recalibration. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

I'll second the OFF mode.

Mine is usually on instant MPG, so when I see 2 MPG I let up on the pedal. It kinda keeps the mileage up. Max Power, don't you use the metric system up there?? Inches and centimeters, it's all the same.

Instant MPG

I keep it on "instant MPG". When the instant MPG is very low, then I look quickly in the rear view mirror to see if it was a Dodge or Ford truck I just passed... http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif

Max,


Is that in Limp Mode or Turbocharged?

MPG means nothing on a modded truck so I just leave mine on the odo

I third the OFF

Avg MPG. Why I don't know, I guess I keep it there hoping it will go higher than 13.8.


Welp! I finally got 14.mpg when I reached 500 miles on the odometer. I have been hoping for more. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Disapprove.gif

AVG Econ... Usually look at 17-20 depending on fuel blend...


It looks too bare to be off.

odometer

Well the whole reason I got mine was to "play" with it. Nyuk. I am always flipping the buttons to the different displays. Usually between, range, trip, avg economy, and odo.

Odometer usually but sometimes Avg MPG

What's that? You like playing with your DIC? http://dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif

I always leave it off. I think that's the best part about having it, no LED display in the center.

He payed for it, so he can play with it all he wants.
LIfe is GOOD

I switch between instant and life mpg. I keep hoping I can get my life mpg to break 19, but i've been stuck in the high 18s for awhile. I can't stand to look at the odometer unless I am calculating mileage, because it saddens me to watch the miles roll away.

I am the same way, I do about 3k per month so it adds fast. Go Diesel go diesel

jump between avg mpg & instant mpg . . .

Quit playing with your DIC's and drive the darn thing! Thank goodness they dont make a DIC remote control, nobody would leave their driveway.


Seriously, mine is set to instant.

A fully functional DIC is another word for happinesshttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

Wow, thought I lost my DIC. I hooked my boat up for the first time and turned my lights on to test my boat lights. Well I went to get back in and for got to turn my lights to auto. As I took off I looked down and my DIC was not there, what even freaked me out more was my trasmission display was gone too. I thought maybe I shorted something out when I pluged my boat trailer in. Dumb me turn the lights back to auto and poof my DIC was back where it belonged.

Odometer

I have been leaving mine on Avg MPG. Heck, if I had this on my gasser, it probably would have gotten better mileage as well!! I tend to drive easier when I see how much the avg mpg drops when my foot is in it! But it sure raps out nice for a stock diesel when getting on the freeway!

If you play with it too much, you'll either break it, or go blind !!http://dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif

Rob,


Just a little nearsighted so far, but thanks for the warning. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif


Dave

wow my first post that went to a second page, and all because of my DIC

Most of the time it is on Instant MPG, at times I switch to Total Miles.
