Digital Dash Configuration

[Lerker]

I think I love this new digital dash, but a configuration issue is chapping my arse.

I'm trying to configure the Tiles page so I can monitor critical temps while towing. Like the Gauge Summary page on previous models. This way, I don't have to flip around screens to see what I want.

With five tiles to play with, I'd like Oil Temp, Coolant Temp, Boost, Exhaust Brake, and Trans Temp.

BUT, for whatever reason, Trans Temp is not available for me to display. No problem with those others, just no Trans Temp. The manual says it should be there, but it's not. Common sense says it should be there, too.

So, can it be displayed? How? Do you others have it available on the Tiles page?

Kinda silly that you can pull up oil temp, which is fake, and not trans temp, which is real.

Hmmm..I’ve got the 5 tiles set up, and trans temp is my first one on the left.
When you’re in the regular non-tiles display, when you scroll to the vehicle info screen (the one with tire pressure, oil life, etc) is trans temp in there?

its there, mine is on the bottom left.

Yup, I certainly have it in those pages, which is why this is uber frustrating. Not surprised at all to hear you have it.

You know, the other weird this is that I don't have Gear Display available under the screen setup. Not sure if you (or others) have that, but I watched a youtube video that showed it as a selection. And of course the manual says it should be there. But not on mine.

Is this a alphaobd fix?

Gear display is a configuration in alfaobd, and if your truck wasn’t configured with it from factory, it can take care of that.
But alfaobd wouldn’t have anything to do with trans temp in the tiles.
Mine’s a hemi, so I don’t have boost gauge in the vehicle info screen. I’m curious if any other Cummins owners with the digital cluster don’t have the trans temp selection in the tiles.

How bright is the digital dash at night? Is it obnoxious like the early Freightliner RV ones that looked like you had a flashlight in face.

I have an HO 3500. I can pick Trans Temp, I have it on the right side vertical bar graph. Can select it for the left side, lower left and lower right.

@Lerker is referring to the “tile” display of the all-digital cluster on some 23+ trims.

 

[Lerker]

Yup, exactly, the new digital dash. Would love to know if other diesel owners are lacking????

Regardless, with Jimmy having it with his hemi, I feel like a simply programming issue is either jipping me, or all Cummins owners.

I’ve got the same problem. I had a 2023 and reported the issue to my dealer and he was not aware of the issue. I just got a 2024 and hoped the problem would have been resolved and its not - programming is the same as the 2023.
I too wanted the dash to show current gear which is an option when I scroll though the programable dash it won‘t let me select that option.

i’d definitely like to know if you’ve found a solution to this problem - beyond frustrating.

Nope, sure haven't. I was tempted to go back to the dealer to look at another diesel with the digital dash, just to know, but lost motivation.

Not sure if you saw, but up there ^^^^ a few posts Jimmy says he has it with the hemi, but I've yet to hear anyone with the diesel say they have it.
