My new [ to me ] truck, a Dodge Dakota '06, 2wd 3.7L 6spd, came with an aftermarket vacuum guage, I gather so the owner could monitor intake vacuum as a means to help boost cruising mileage.........
My dilemma, is can I seek help........... to rig an led circuit to be on when there is acceleration vacuum present, and light an led when there is, and have the led go out when vacuum is nil at cruising..........Without running afoul of forum rules regarding auto ad-ons,.
since it appears to me the guage is passive as "read only" and in no way controls or advises the ECU. I want to improve what is already done.
Watching the guage can be very distracting, and I figure an led will better suit peripheral vision .
