Ok guys mods are this. SMARTY( ordering dont know which programing yet), 5" Turbo Back Exhaust, and intake thats it for now.

Im getting guages piller mount or cubby hole mount havetn decided yet.

I know two of the guages will be

1. Boost
2. EGT
3. ????

Here is my question. What should that 3rd gauge be for now? I have an Auto but im saving to upgrade that, Dave G or the like. I was thinking Fuel pressure or Rail pressure?

After I get these 3 gauges figured out the next mod WILL BE and ADII or FASS Platinum ASAP.

Ps. in the end I'll have both piller nad cubby hole pods filled with (not in this order as i cant pick # 3 yet )

1. boost
2. EGT
3.Trans
4.RP
5.FP
6.DP or whatever I feel like here.

Thanks guys NEED help ASAP

all on 2005 auto DD'er

 

nevermind guys Im gonna go jsut as my 1-6 list says. Im gonna keep all the pressures together in my cubby hole when I can afford them.

talked my self into it right after writing it. idea just popped into my head and went with it.

 

no oil pressure gauge?

THE most important gauge on a CR truck. A real oil pressure gauge.

 

really? never heard that before someone explain please why i need a different one?

 

The one in the dash is run off a 7 psi sending unit. So when you build 7 psi of pressure it sends a signal to the ecm and the ecm takes reading from the engine load,coolant temo and boost pressure and tells the oil pressure gauge what the pressure SHOULD be at that point. So if you would crack a injector body and flood the engine oil with diesel and still have 8 psi of pressure you would not know you have a problem unit the motor starts to knock due to lack of oil pressure but your factory gauge will still read 40 psi of presure

 

Excellent description, my short version is “it’s a idiot light that wiggles”

I have the over-mirror gauge mount, and all the following gauges, but haven't had the time to do the install.
Fuel psi, mechanical oil psi, EGT/boost, and dual temp ( will set for trans and rear end). If you look at my pictures, you'll see then mounted on the A pillar of my '01. All of which, I got from Genos.

 

If you want to have more than two or three gauges i recommend looking at the isspro performax. The daisy chain install is the way to go i only had to run three wires to the cab and now have six gauges. they are also the most accurate i have seen and the stepper motors are very fast to respond.

 

I have the 3 hole pillar mount! But wish I had gone with the top of dash mount! That way I would not need to take my eyes off the road.Also it is hard to see my exhaust gas temperature is hard to see at night witch is the one I watch the most when pulling my fifth wheel camper.
