Another Gauge Question

Ok look at my sig I am looking at the 2 & 3 gauge combo from Diesel Manor . Do I really need a fuel preesure gauge? Is there anybody whos has them cheaper. I like the Isspro as they seem to match the Oem preety close. Thanks for any comments.

I'd check Vulcan Performance. I think they have the guage packages cheaper than Diesel Manor. I don't think the fuel pressure guage is absolutely necessary, but I do think it's a good idea.

You can never have enough gauges...

For your application, I would recommend EGT, boost, and fuel pressure.

Make sure whoever you buy them from sends everything you need to install them!

i agree. fuel pressure is nessasary, tranny temp is good to but fuel is more important. you could always put mickey mouse ears on the steering coloum.

A fuela pressure gauge is a good idea especially if you add a programmer, the more extreme programs will draw your fuel pressure down to zero, and that's not good.

Trying to decide which place I am buying the gauges from. I have a feeling I will be adding a fuel pump as my truck seems to really fall off above 2200 rpm. I had the in tank conversion done a year ago. but it has not run the same since.
