For owners of the robust 7.3L Power Stroke diesel engine, understanding your vehicle’s vital signs is paramount to ensuring peak performance and longevity. Modern technology offers an accessible solution: OBD2 gauges. These compact and user-friendly devices plug directly into your OBD2 port, turning complex engine data into real-time insights right at your fingertips.
Imagine having the ability to monitor critical parameters like transmission temperature, oil pressure, and boost levels without complex wiring or modifications. Our selection of 7.3 OBD2 gauges makes this a reality, offering a seamless way to stay informed about your engine’s health. These gauges are designed for easy installation and provide a wealth of information, empowering you to proactively manage your 7.3L Power Stroke.
Real-Time Data at Your Fingertips
Our 7.3 OBD2 gauges are engineered to deliver instant data from your vehicle’s factory sensors. Simply connect the included 6-foot cable to your OBD2 port – typically found beneath the dashboard – and you’re ready to go. The straightforward, menu-driven interface allows for effortless navigation and data display customization.
- Extensive Parameter Monitoring: Access a wide array of factory sensor readings. Monitor crucial metrics such as:
- Oil Pressure: Keep an eye on lubrication system health.
- Transmission Temperature: Crucial for preventing overheating and extending transmission life, especially under heavy loads or towing.
- Air Fuel Ratio: Essential for optimal fuel efficiency and engine performance.
- Knock Retard: Detect potential engine knocking issues early.
- Intake Air Temperature: Monitor air intake conditions for optimal combustion.
These gauges are designed to read both generic and enhanced OBD2 parameters, ensuring comprehensive data access for your 7.3L Power Stroke.
Customizable Display and User Experience
Understanding data is as important as accessing it. That’s why our 7.3 OBD2 gauges offer multiple display options to suit your preferences and monitoring needs.
- Versatile Display Modes: Choose from various display formats:
- 2-Parameter Scrolling Graph: Visualize data trends over time.
- 4-Parameter Display: View four key readings simultaneously.
- 8-Parameter Screen: Get a comprehensive overview of multiple sensors at once.
- Peak Recall: Quickly review maximum recorded values for monitored parameters, helping identify transient spikes or issues.

Beyond Monitoring: Performance and Control
These 7.3 OBD2 gauges aren’t just about reading data; they offer features that extend to performance measurement and even vehicle control.
- Performance Timers: Built-in timers allow you to measure:
- 0-60 mph acceleration
- 1/8 mile elapsed time
- 1/4 mile elapsed time
Track your vehicle’s performance improvements after modifications or simply satisfy your curiosity about its capabilities.
- Data Logging and Playback: Record and review data logs to analyze vehicle behavior under different conditions. This is invaluable for diagnostics and performance tuning.
- Bi-Directional Controls: Gain limited control over certain vehicle functions (function availability varies by vehicle, consult user manual for 7.3L Power Stroke compatibility):
- Cooling Fan On/Off Control
- Intercooler Pump On/Off Control
- PCM Reset
- DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) Read and Clear: Identify and clear check engine lights.
- Tire Size Correction
- Gear Ratio Correction
Expandability and Customization to Match Your Style
Our 7.3 OBD2 gauges are designed to grow with your needs and allow for personalized aesthetics.
- External Sensor Inputs: Two additional analog inputs allow you to connect aftermarket sensors beyond the factory offerings. This is ideal for adding gauges for parameters not natively monitored by your 7.3L Power Stroke’s ECU. Explore our wide range of sensors on our SENSORS PAGE.
- Customizable Appearance: Tailor the gauge’s look to match your interior:
- Interchangeable Faceplates and Bezels: Easily swap out faces and bezels to achieve your desired style.
- Numerous Color and Material Options: Choose from a variety of face and bezel colors and materials to create a unique look.
Warning Systems and Expandable Control
Stay ahead of potential issues with programmable warning lights and expand control capabilities with optional relay outputs.
- Programmable Warning Lights: Set up high-intensity warning lights that trigger based on single or dual parameter algorithms (e.g., warn if transmission temperature OR oil pressure exceeds set limits). This provides immediate visual alerts for critical conditions.
- Relay Output (Optional): Expand the gauge’s functionality to control external vehicle systems. Activate nitrous systems, auxiliary fans, pumps, and more based on gauge readings or user commands.
Compact and Versatile Mounting
The standard 2-1/16” (52mm) size ensures seamless integration into a wide range of mounting solutions.
- Universal Fit: The 2-1/16″ size is a standard in the automotive gauge industry.
- Extensive Mounting Options: Utilize our selection of gauge pods or third-party pods and mounts for flexible installation in your 7.3L Power Stroke.
