The 5.0L V8 F-150 needs its own entry. AeroForce’s broad Coyote listing has conflicting year wording, so this page uses a bounded engine/year combination documented in Ford’s brochures.

Use one Flock 52mm Gauge with the OBD-II setup available on the Flock gauge product page. The readings returned by your vehicle determine which display options you can use.

What to monitor on this engine

Start with coolant temperature and RPM for the 5.0L V8. Add oil pressure and oil temperature for engine monitoring, plus transmission-fluid temperature for the six-speed automatic.

Installation approach

Check a reversible 52mm mount before committing to a dash or pillar location. Leave the diagnostic connector accessible and assemble the readings you want in a single display.

Start with standard OBD-II readings such as coolant temperature or RPM, then add custom manufacturer-specific PIDs in the gauge settings. You can also connect wired sensors to display additional measurements.

Custom PID settings

The following OBDb custom PID definitions are compatible with the current Flock firmware. Enter the request, CAN header, formula and unit shown below in the gauge’s custom-PID settings.

Configure your gauge

Use the Flock user manual for setup and custom-PID configuration. The gauge displays whole-number OBD readings.
