Durametric
Anyone know how I can make my durametric read temps in Fahrenheit and not celcius?

That is why they call it a DuraMETRIC. Conversion is not that difficult no? Manual that is.

Never thought about it that way before - that's funny! I just always thought of it as the other definition of metrics, as in a system of measurement.

LOL I bought the product in the US, I live in the US and would expect it to be Farenheit. Math is not my best subject. Maybe they should make a DuraUS!

Conversion of celsius to fahreneit
Multiply by 9 then
divide by 5 then
add 32.
You would think that the Durametric would have a conversion feature but possibly not. Hope this helps....

So, you like the British system of measurement, which by the way, isn't used in Britain? So tell me, what's the British unit for mass. Hmm, don't know? So why follow a system that makes no sense and no one uses?
By the way, mass is a slug in the Brit system. Do you also have a set of witworth wrenches?

trimer - I totally get it. It's like my outside temp reads in F, while all the rest of the dashboard except the analog speedo is metric. Even though I'm equally comfortable using F or C, it still bugs me and I would like it to be in C.

Truce. I apologize if I have offended you with my sarcasm, but seriously, the metric system makes so much sense and is really easy. 100C is boiling, a meter is about a yard, 100 km/hr is about 60 mph, a liter is about a quart.
Try it, you'll like it.

Agreed. Metric just makes sense. The Imperial system is just plain bananas 
Sorry Trimer, I have nothing useful to contribute
