I heard that it is filled with 500 candy horses. However, the guy he got it from couldn't get them all out and gave the piñata to Charlie. Brian is coming over to get all 500 horses out and maybe more.

Good one!

I can relate to being broke, but I don't have to work Sunday.

Why don't you guys just rig a 747 dash in you trucks?

Opinions from all.... Been trying to monitor Primary boost pressure and am in need of a more accurate less psi gauge... I was thinking of buying a 0-35psi boost gauge (ultra lite to match the others) from Genos and also getting their "cubby hole" gauge mount... Thought there might be enough room for me to mount my arming switch as well as my low level LED and pump intensdy LED for the water meth system...

What do you think??? Too many gauges? So far over useless? Perfect spot?

Let me know!!

I can hear mike now.... Ooo Ooo we could use stainless here and aluminum here!! It would be great!! 6 pyros, 2 diffs, 2 boost, 4 tires air psi, tranny temp, oil temp ,coolant temp, transfer case temp, coolant and oil flow rates, fuel flow rate, fuel psi, rail psi, hmmm... Of course on board air and backpressure supplied from exhasut brake, voltmeter, ammeter, I'm sure he would find more!!

Well, I will have a permanent in-cab drive pressure gauge installed for Ardmore... and a test gauge to monitor the water jacket pressure (engineering a BOMB to prevent freeze plug blow-out).

Preventing a problem that does not exist??? Or is that a 3rd Gen thing?

It's a 3rd gen thing. Sudden romps on the go pedal when the thermostat is closed tend to increase pressure to the point of blowing freeze plugs out. There's an interesting thread mike started in the 3rd gen high performance section called H20 pressure that you might wanna check out.

Yes, and apparently it also happens when the engine is fully warmed and the t'stat is open...
