What I find most useful is coolant temperature, especially combined with an audible alarm. A burst hose or failed clamp can lead to an overheated engine very quickly, well before you'd catch it with temp gauge or even an idiot light.

Can't disagree with your point, which of course applies equally well to any suspension modification you would make to your truck. Keep in mind that the SG3 is designed to be mounted to the windshield (using a suction cup), and I doubt the Scan Gauge folks did much crash/projectile testing on...
