    you could always get the adapters that hook around a fuse and let you tap into it that way.....

    That's what I was thinking of doing, but what fuse should I hook it up too? Had it hooked to the ignition fuse in my old car, but there isn't one in this truck

    you would just hook to it as you would in the fuse box in the truck..... but you could use number 16,or 29..... 16 is the wiper motor fuse and 29 is the radio.....
     
  10. so that guage does not power up from the obdII connector?
