Ranger Mods

Anyone else ordered one from the US recently. I did on the 4 august tracked with USPS to Perth on the 22nd and nothing since. I have emailed customer support twice with no response.

Got mine a while back without issues.
They are usually good with support
All you can do is keep trying, I think the US is a bit crazy at the moment with the virus & fires.

Never had an issue and ordered 2 the other day and had them within a week.

You emailed Fedex or Ultragauge?

I'm about to buy an Ultraguage MX1.4 (need to access ATF temps in my Ranger XLT). I see there are a few online sellers in Australia, but where do most of the users here purchase them from? Are there preferred overseas sellers and how much should I expect to pay if purchasing from US.

I got mine from here.
What you see is US$ plus freight

Order placed.

Thanks RossPat.

I placed the order on Monday 14th December and the UltraGauge was delivered on Monday 22nd December. It got from Oregon USA to Sydney within 36hrs with FedEx and then took 5 days to be delivered from there to Adelaide by TNT. Overall not bad, but room for improvement on the Aussie end!

I also ordered a bracket and vertical surface mount from Stuart at the same time. It arrived on Friday 18th which surprised me. I expected longer from Australia Post, LoL. Thanks Stuart.

Setup and programming went well with just one hitch. The UltraGauge couldn't determine a protocol when connected to the rear OBDII port. It just kept scanning until it went into low power mode. It did this several times. I changed to the front (white) port and it scanned the 11CAN protocol and downloaded 56 gauges immediately. After setting everything up and entering some custom gauges I set the Force Protocol option to force it to use 11CAN and tried it in the rear port again and it worked fine. Did anyone else have this issue?

No issues with the rear port reading, it just worked.

G'day
I finally got around to buying one just before Christmas. $32 US express delivery, with some other bits. Only took 4 or 5 days to get here.
Stewarts ink jet mounts are fantastic. Only took a couple of days to Wollongong.
Just trying to figure it all out now. Amazingly small.
Cheers

Thankyou mate!
Going to order tommorrow!

Unless you are going to stick it to the top of the dash then I find the vertical mount to be a better option in most cases. For the price of an extra adaptor I would just order both mounts.
