-EGT probe you need a drill and a GOOD tap set for the exhaust manifold
-for fuel pressure i used a banjo bolt off the fuel return from the VP44
-tranny temp/pressure runs off of test ports on the passenger side of the tranny, 1/4 pipe threads i believe. (unless you run one in a line coolant line)
- for boost, i run mine off a fuse, but if yours is mechanical, you will need to drill and tap your intake horn. BUT MAKE SURE YOU TAKE IT OFF!! you dont want metal shavings in your engine. The exhaust manifold really doesnt need to be taken off if you are careful, but the air horn should be taken off IMO to ensure NO accidents
and this is assuming you have all piping and fitting that came with the gauges and assuming they all fit where they are supposed to

Have all that in the Cave, We've done lots of them!

Bad idea, you should read off the trans cooler line straight out of the trans, reading at the test ports gives you inaccurate readings(only reading in that gear, 1st gear port, 2nd gear port you get the idea.

Just use a Boost Bolt, i have an extra in the Cave

My brother just got a offer to buy his truck so he is looking for a first or second gen, quad cab, perferably a long bed, must be a MANUAL (no auto, he is hard on those
) transmission, 4X4. If you know of anyone that is selling one please let me know so I can pass it on to him. The buyer is very, very motivated to purchase his truck, actually offered him about 5k over what he paid for it, so he said the only way he is selling it is if he finds a CTD that fits these requirements.

Hey Scott, can I park the 5th in the drive way again? If so, I'll be there Fri. night and Sat. It may just be me by my lonesome or Krysten may com along, don't know about that yet. Cindy has some presentation/lecture to give Sat. so she won't be attending. I got plenty of barley pops left over from the Mason Dixon Dyno event.

Go ahead and bring Krysten, it'll give my girls someone to play with while they are there. I'm sure the wife and kids will be coming with me on Saturday.
Scotte: my girls said that goofy guy that squirts the glowing stuff on everyone needs to be there too!!! (speaking of Glenn, does he have a login here yet?).

I'm going to miss you guys but I need to dig my poop pipes out of the ground and replumb the septic. I have a brand new 1/8-27 I can drop by thurs or fri. Meant to leave it there but forgot. Who ever is helping Boots just let me know and I'll bring it over. I usually drill with a T drill and tap 2/3rds the depth of the tap. I love taco dip with Frito's, what a week for the septic pipes to go?

Ok so lets wait a minute, Jeannine won't be home Sat so i wasn't on planning on an all out party, just a wrenchin day with the guys & then a bonfire.
Nothing spectacular.
Brad you can bring your truck and we will just drop the t case right on your trailer. that way if you need parts you can still get the truck home.
Todd you can bring your camper but bring it Sat, i don't know exactly what's going on Friday night. Don't want to push my luck with the Boss.
