Default The thing a ma gig!

I don't know exactly what to call this thing a ma gig but it is located on the dash of my 1999 379 model Petercar!
It tells the driver what is going on in regards to the Caterpillar engine!
It looks like a little rectangular digital clock with a small screen which lights up displaying messages and readings when ya press one of the four little square buttons.
Could ya call it a mini in cab Caterpillar engine read out computer?

If any of you good folks know what the heck i'm talkin about,please let me know cause I'm huntin for one of these used thing a ma gig's!
The one I got in the truck ain't workin,so I needs to buy another one!

If anyone has got a used one for sale that fits in my 1999 Petercar,please give me a hollar,cause I'm a buyin!!!!!

Tell me how much ya wants for it and I will arrange to have it shipped UPS
to me, the shipping is on me!

Thanks in advance folks!!

Hey WILDBILL,

I don't know the exact term for it, but it just a read out for the computer. I have one in my Volvo now.
Pretty neat to know what is going on at the touch of a button.

Mine will give me diagnostics on everything to do with the truck, from the brakes to the instrument panel.
It will go as far as to tell the replacement part number if it is bad!
