well im going to ask for a set of gauges for christmas and wasnt sure weather to get mechanical or electronic what kind do you guys run and how do you like it? by the way im planning on getting autometer ultralite 60lb. boost, pyro, and trans temp.

 

get the electric fuel press and the rest mech. i got all autometers and they work great.

fuel pyro boost and trans temp.

friggin trucks starting to look like semi dash inside

 

ok thanks that helps but got another question does anyone sell a 3 gauge holder for the A-pillar for a 95?

 

I like my Dipricol on the dash, they are all mechanical. My boy and me like watching them at night when we're hauling something. Just watching the hands go up and down.......simple pleasures!!

 

Sure, lots of people do, here's one example from Diesel Manor:

US Diesel even has an Autometer gauge package:

I have both Autometer and Isspro, both are good (and both have had issues), Diesel Manor also has a gauge kit with all Isspro gauges:

For the tranny temp and EGT, most guys run electrical. The boost gauge is usually mechanical.

For a 24-valve, most people run a mechanical fuel pressure gauge, with no isolator. Electric fuel pressure gauges are great and easy to install, but when you get an erratic reading the problem is that you're always chasing down issues with the isolator or sending unit. On a 12-valve, fuel pressure is not that critical to monitor because the lift pumps on these engines are very reliable.

 

ok thanks for all the help so far

 

i have another question about the trans temp. what temp range should i get? will the 100-250 be good enough or get the 100-340?

 

Either range should be OK. Mine is the one that came with the Isspro gauge package, it runs 100-280. I think the most common recommendation that transmission experts make is to pull over and let the trans cool down if the temp reaches 200-220.

 

240 is supposedly meltdown anyways, so anything with a temp range much higher than that like the 340 is kind of pointless because your tranny is gonna be worthless far before that temp anyways.
