Gauge Setup (continued)
These gauge options may not be available for all vehicles.
Pyro 1 & 2 (Sensor Docking Station may be required)
Both pyro 1 and pyro 2 measure exhaust gas temperature. The only
dierence between them is the location of the temperature sensor.
Used for defuel level settings, which protect the engine from
heat damage.
Availability and location of factory installed pyrometers vary
according to vehicle make and year. For all other vehicles,
pyrometer kits are available for purchase from www.BullyDog.
com. Bully Dog and factory OEM sensors are the only pyrometers
which will work with the GT Platinum. If pyro 1 & 2 are
unavailable through the OEM, go through the Sensor Docking
Station.
Speed
This option shows the current vehicle speed.
Monitoring this information can help you ensure that the speed
displayed on the GT Platinum and the vehicle speedometer
match the actual vehicle speed. Other important numbers, like
the odometer and fuel eciency, are based on this information.
RPM
This option shows the number of revolutions per minute of the
engine.
This will help you protect your vehicle and improve performance by
watching and ensuring that the RPMs stay within a certain range.
Coolant Temperature
This option shows the coolant temperature.
Used in defuel settings to prevent damage to the engine.
Not available on all vehicles.
Throttle Position
This option shows the throttle position measurement – it is
displayed as the percent open.
Used by the Driving Coach to indicate where changes can be
made to driving habits to maximize fuel eciency.
Intake Temperature
This option shows the intake air temperature.
Air temperature aects combustion temperature and engine
performance. Adding a Bully Dog Rapid Flow Intake (RFI) closed
air system will lower this temperature, improve performance,
and increase horse power. The Gauge Tuner (GT Platinum) is
designed to work with the RFI to get the most out of your engine.
Transmission Temp
This option shows the transmission temperature.
Used in defuel settings to prevent damage to the transmission.
Not available on all vehicles.
Load
This option shows a real-time measurement of the work that the
truck is doing.
Timing
This option shows a real-time reading of the timing position as
the truck is running.
MAF
This option displays information from the Mass Airow Sensor.
Used by the Engine Control Module (ECM) to determine how
much air is going into the engine. The ECM then sends the
correct amount of fuel for optimum engine performance.
Fuel Econ.
This option displays a real-time measurement of the vehicle’s fuel
economy, shown in miles per gallon.
Determine when your fuel eciency peaks or dies to improve
your driving habits and your bottom line when visiting the pump.
Fuel Flow
This option displays the amount of fuel being used at any given
time; it is shown as a percentage.
Not available on all vehicles.
Boost (Turbo equipped vehicles only)
Current turbo boost pressure.
Barometer
Current atmospheric pressure.
Injection Pulse Width (IPW)
The time the injector stays open for each injection event; usually
displayed in milliseconds (ms).
Battery Voltage
This option shows the current battery voltage.
