important gauges
Please tell me which gauges are the most important to install in my 1 ton diesel & why?I am referring to additional aftermarket gauges that will help me save trouble later & help to solve running problems.

Welcome to DTR Go to the upper left of this page and click on usercp and fill out your signature so we know what your rig is. It's hard to say what gauges you need without knowing what you're driving

Fuel, Fuel, Fuel.... Did I mention fuel? Take it from some one that DIDN'T do it this way and paid for it!
If you're Fuel pressure drops, you won't be moving, so your egt (exhaust gas temp) won't be an issue, nor will you be creating boost....
If you're towing and stock I'd get Fuel pressure, Trans, then egt and then boost. The order after fuel isn't really going to matter as you'll probably end up getting those 3 in a package (boost, egt, and trans temp) with an a-pillar pod to hold them. You can do 3 on the a-pillar and one on the steering column or have someone make it so you can do all 4 on the a-pillar w/ fiberglass...

Thanx
So, Fuel pressure,EGT(ex.gas temp) & boost, since I am not running an automatic tranny is what I need. Should these be mechanical or available with sending units & which is best for the buck.
