Hey im ordering a egt guage, boost guage, and tranny temp gauge from geno's garage, and the triple guage a pillar mount. Is there anything i need besides these?

Get the 60psi boost gauge....

Oh yeah, you need to get a hotline with the fitting for the tranny temp gauge. You can get them from www.dieselmanor.com. I can't remember the place I got mine.

Get the 60 psi boost gauge and also a wiring kit if they are DiPricols. Don't order the boost bolt because they automatically include it with the order even though the invoice doesn't show it.

Save some room just get the Quad Comander it is sleek and you can moniter everthing at once and set alarms, for trouble, without always looking at the gauges.

Right now i got the 60 psi boost gauge, i already have my manifold taped for the egt thermocouple, so what exactly do i need. Would it be better to go with the commander?

The Commander is nice because everything is in one spot but I couldn't stand seeing the numbers jump around all the time especially at night. I prefer the look of analogs and you can glance at them and no if you are okay. You kind of get used to where the needle should be and you can just glance at them and know you are okay.

A total list would be:
~ gauge mount
~ EGT gauge
~ trans temp gauge
~ 60 psi boost gauge
~ boost bolt (already included with any Genos boost gauge order)
~ some wiring to do the install
~ zip ties
~ wire loom
~ 2-3 hours to do it right
~ couple beers for afterwards ()

I love the Comander, you keep your grab bar and just fit the mount right underneath. You can choose what it runs. You can see 4 gauges on the screnn at one time. You set it up the way you want. So take a slice of bread cut it into 4 pieces Top left is PYRO Top Right is Tranny Bottom Left is Boost bottom Right is engine temp. Or use fuel pressure as one. Just a great single set of gauges all wrapped into one.

Do you got the custom mount or the universal mount? How is the universal mount that it comes with? Should i get the pillar mount?

If you decide on a Commander get the pillar mount. Most people have to work on them a little though because the mount doesn't fit close to the stock pillar by the windshield.

Overall the Commander is nice. I just prefer analog gauges. Guess I'm old-school.

Na man its cool lol i like the analog too i just think i like the digital ones a little bit more and its all in one!

So if i get the commander all i need is the commander and the pillar mount right?

Big T

Do get the pillar mount ties in nicely. Mine fit like a glove one little piece of double sided tape and everbody was asking when did Dodge offer those on a diesel.

zack birge

HAha do i need to get anything else along with the commander and mount?

On TDR there is an article talking of reaction time of some EGT gauges. Westach was less than a second. Some other gauges took 4 seconds for an accurate reading.
Check it out.

Comes with all you need. If you want to monniter fuel pressure that is another part you will need but it just plugs in with the commander call Larry in the DTR store he will get you all set up. It is buy far the best set of gauges for me!!.
