upgrades

I am new to the diesel world and am a proud owner of a 93 dodge w250 with the cummins, and i was wondering what are some upgrades i could put on and where i can get a good quality pyrometer and trans temp gauge for a good price. I tow a 30 foot 5th wheel ad drive the truck daily, i am not looking for outrageous power just a little more. The ve pump is turned up a little, at least that's what my mechanic told me.
any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to DTR.
I have ordered some stuff from DTR online store, or look into Geno's Garage catalog.
They have lots of gauges, filters, gaskets...

I've had my autometer boost and puro gauges for 6-7 years now with no problem. They are fairly cheap. About middle of the road as far as pricing goes.

Egauges.com is a great place to find gauges. I have bought 3 or 4 sets from them.

I just installed Autometer boost and Pyro gauges in my white crew.
One was used, and pulled off another old Dodge 12V.
The other I ordered of Geno's when stocking up of Fleetguard oil filters and getting a few aluminum PTO trans cooler plates for my '01 NV-4500 and the white crews Getrag..

DaxXx these guys are correct. But if you wanna save a buck or two go to a big truck salvage yard and get gauges for cheap, make your on holders. The older KW's and Petes had a world of gauges and switches, the freightliners and westernstars have a tub full of relays and relay holders. I'm cheap and scrounge parts lol. Good luck!!
