Has anyone put a Banks IDash in their Roxor? My display on my 2018 is messed up and I’m curious how many parameters can be monitored on the Roxor.
I have one installed on my 2015 F250 super duty so I am familiar with them
 
I am so new to the community I havent picked my Roxor up yet (Monday cant come quick enought) but know Diesel Freaks sells it specifically (Roxor Idash Monitor 2018-2022 - Diesel Freak - Diesel Freak) but you'll need the OBD2 adapter I believe. I don't think Wade is in this forum but I do know he is very responsive in the Facebook group - I am sure you can ask him directly (or even call DF and talk to him) what exactly is monitored.

I am as well curious what it can measure, specifically the MPH would be nice

Easy plug and play module. It’s very customizable and the only drawback I see is no oil pressure reading unless I overlooked it. The other notable feature is it will scan and clear codes. Lastly the speed reading is erratic with about a 5 mph swing

They are a very nice gauge! unfortunately the ECM doesn't report oil pressure, so the gauge won't display it. The only way on a Roxor to see oil pressure is with a mechanical gauge. The sensor on the Roxor only reports yes or no pressure to the ECM.

Note: This unit does not work on 2023 and up.

So it can measure vehicle speed?
 
Yes. And, you can always add other sensors if there is something that is not being read.

The interesting thing about the speed is that my speed would fluctuate on the OEM Speedometer. When I put that backflow valve in my speed stopped fluctuating.

Can it track odometer?

I'd appreciate it greatly, I have a project idea. I want to possibly get rid of the factory configuration, and put the Idash inside the dash, right in front of the steering wheel

After looking it up, Idash can track the odometer. In theory one can junk the original gauge, put a new flat sheet of metal on the dash, and cut out a hole right in front of steering wheel to put the Idash in

Would require a whole new sheet of metal for the dash to relocate the holes in order to still look clean

Here's something to consider before you do that. The alternator exciter circuit runs through the needle style speedometers.

Most of the time that can be fixed. Have you tried having it repaired?

I have not, scared of losing it in the mail. Plus the battery won’t charge without the cluster and this is my daily driver
