What three gauges do you think are the most important or informative for an 01 CTD that does moderate towing?<br><br>Trans temp, fuel press, and boost.???<br><br>I'm looking into the three gauges that mount on the window post, seems like a pretty cool set up.

 

If you can only have 3 then the two essentials are pyro and fuel pressure. If it's a auto then a trans temps guage and if it's a stick then a boost guage. You might also consider the boost guage in the steering column mount for a auto truck. JMO

 

It depends if you have a manual you would want pyro,boost,and fuel. If the truck is auto then and stock then I would only worry about trans and fuel. It looks like it is stock in your sig. My .02<br><br>Scooter

 

It's an automatic trans. (sorry). I assume boost pressure is usually monitored on Manual rather that auto. With it being stock I won't worry with boost pressure...*saving a little money* <br>Thanks Guys.

 

IMHO you can line up the gauges following the values of stuff that will get hurt if things get out of hand:<br><br>Pyro ( Replacement engine $$$$$$$$$ )<br>TransTemp ( Rebuild tranny 2000 US$)<br>Fuel Pressure (New VP44 1500 US$)<br><br>Correct me if I'm wrong on some prices<br><br>AlpineRAM

 

Boost on a stock Hy35 isn't much worth monitoring, it hits 19.5 # max. Also the engine temps (pyrometer) won't get out of hand on a stock engine, however it is good to have so you don't shut your engine down to early. Even 600 degrees can cook your turbo pretty quick without the engine running.<br>Tim
