I was looking throughthe sticky hoping to find an article on gauge installs and which gauges you should have to keep an eye on the truck I would like to have a boost tach and fuel pressure gauge but didnt know what brand and what measurements on the gauge i should be looking for. as well as install

 

anyone have personal prefrences as far as brands and were to in stall them

 

I use AutoMeter, they have a wide range of different models that will work. Isspro is another one I've used and like in other vehicles.

auto meter on mine, I've always had good luck with them.. I'm pretty sure there is something in the stickey to help you out.. Get a good test light and it will make the job easier.. I like to get my power then daisy chain the guages together.

 

i use glowshift gauges....nice and bright at night and very reasonable in prices....glowshift.com

 

Pryo is most important gauge. I did not see you list that one. I have isspro and autometer.

 

Most common size is 2 1/16 inch.

 

I like Autometer. The Dynafacts came with the truck when I bought it.

 

Westach . Aircraft quality and you can have several readings per gauge.

You asking where to install the gauge itself or the sending units?

 

the sending units mainly i purchased a two gauge pillar from auto meter and im going to purchase one of the three gauge as shown in one of the pics someone posted

 

Stickies will show best install for boost & pyro.

What are the gauges you plan to have?

 

2 1/16" boost, fuel pressure, tach pyro

 

What year truck?

Boost should be easy, just swap the plug under the intake with the fitting.

Tach depends on year and brand.

For the pyro read the sticky. Tapping into the exhaust manifold isn't hard but you have to do it right.

Can't help with fuel pressure, haven't done that one but it is next on the list.

 

its a 93 w250 auto, could comeone post the link to the articles in the sticky i saw the tach but couldnt find the others i must be just looking over them,

 

Hmmmm, you're right. I couldn't find it either .

Your '93 should be easy.

There's a plug in the head directly under the intake (like a 1/4" maybe??). Screw it out & install the barbed fitting that comes with your boost gauge (or buy at NAPA, Lowes, etc).

You already have wiring for a stock tach under the dash above parking brake. An Issopro will wire right in. Not sure about any other brand.

Both are super easy/quick.
