    Greetings Gurus! NEEEEWbbb here! uhh
    2007 KW W900. Added some OEM gauges it did not come with, therefore not enabled in the CECU / ECU.

    Where do I find the options to "ENABLE" these parameters? so they can be monitored by the dash gauges?
    what program?

    Specifically:
    Fuel filter, Ammeter gauges. Would also like to add Air filter restriction and Pyrometer gauges.
    I have attached the following Info. from the build sheet.
    Thanx!!

    The software is Paccar ESA. The programmable options will all be in the "Program" tab.

    Are you a owner/op, do you have a small fleet, or something else? To get ESA legally, you'll need an Eportal account, which we pay $300/year for. To do that you need a dealer sponsor, which seems to be hit/miss whether or not they care to help you. For a single 2007 truck, it's pretty pricey for what you can do. Your CECU is pretty limited to instruments only, newer trucks it controls much more, so easier to justify. You may be better off to do the install yourself and pay a dealer to activate them.

    Grape, (any relation to U-Tube AdeptApe? heh. Anyway, yes, Just one truck.The prices i'm seeing are about 1500 w/ the Nexiq CAT ET 3 interface. Compared to what the dealer charges JUST to hook up plus hourly charges, and beiing at dealer mercy as far as location, hours, and avilibility... 2-3 dealer visits could easily cover the cost of the system...?

    W900 should be the more conventional CECU controlled cab?
    Need to hardwire the sending units to the cecu then enable the gauges with ESA.

    No relation to AdeptApe, but I've watched some of his video's, they're pretty helpful.

    Be careful with the "diagnostic laptops" that you find on the internet. They are almost surely illegal cracked software that come with clone adapters that eventually stop working. A real Nexiq USB link2 will be about $750 by itself, add a cheap laptop and the programs that you need. I sent you a private conversion about a few things.
