Question about the Outlook Monitor
i have a 03 and i just hooked up my Outlook Monitor . i am running it along with a TST R37. everything works fine on the Outlook Monitor except for the boost reading. i also have an Autometer mechanical boost gauge and it works perfect, the Outlook will not read higher than 16psi at WOT but the Autometer reads 45psi at WOT, has anyone ran into this before, any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

hey cade how many wires are in the Outlook monitor map sensor plug in on ur Outlook, because mine ony has 2 on the Outlook and there are 3 wires on my map sensor plug in on my truck.i had to get a new harness from Bully Dog, could they have sent me the wrong harness?

The Outlook gets its boost readings from the OBD2 port. If you plug any module in that does boost fooling like the TST then it will not read properly.
That is one of the main problems with reading data from the OBD2 port.

i was wondering if the boost fooling was messing something up, so when i take off my TST and go with the Diablo Predator/ Puck the boost portion of the monitor should work?

thanx everybody for the input, Qzilla u were right, just got off the phone with the tech dept. at Bully Dog, and the boost fooler in the TST is interupting the signal in the map sensor to send a correct boost reading thru the Outllok monitor, i greatly appreciate the help, thanx

Quad, When did they start reading the boost from the obd2? I know before the triple dog came out there was nothing plugged into the obd2 port. I thought that is why the MAP sensor got tapped into.
I didn't think about boost fooling messing with it. That makes more sense though...

I am not sure. All the ones I have ever had used the oBD2 port. The MAP sensor is used for fueling or de-fueling and that is why it gets codes and makes the truck do funny things sometimes??
Hard to say what they are doing exactly.

I have an outlook on my truck and I dont even have boost as one of the displays for just this reason it is way off never goes below 4psi and no higher than 39psi while my Isspro shows a max of 42.

Get a mechanical boost gauge for accurate readings, especially beyond about 39 psi regardless of how the Outlook monitor plugs. I like mine. Good source of info. The '06 trucks have even more functionality.
