Re:Gauges?

How about fuel pressure? tranny temp would be good too if you got a slushbox.

Re:Gauges?

On my wifes 2000 2500...there are 4 gauges. 3 on the A-pillar
transmission,boost,pyro and below the dash..actually its in the ash tray right now..is a fuel pressure gauge. The only thing I dont like about the fuel pressure gauge..its electric and it is starting to show signs of a bad isolator..
This gauge will be replaced by a mech. gauge.

FastSS:

I have egt, boost, transmission temp and fuel pressure. In my opinion, the three most important are egt, fuel pressure and boost. I would only really worry about the tranny temp if you are towing or highly modified. I have never had a problem with my tranny temp, but have had high egt problems and then there is always the dreaded lift pump issue (hence the fuel pressure gauge.) Just my .02.

I've got fuel pressure, boost, EGT on the pillar and tranny temp in a fiberglassed pod on the dash. All are digital. Very nice. Fast and accurate. The senders are VDO and are very high quality. www.dakotadigital.com

Re:Gauges?

I'm thinking of installing EGT, fuel pressure and boost gauges on the dash of my '03. Any suggestions on where to get a system that will fit--actually it doesn't have to be dash mount, just don't want to bugger the a-pillar. Thanks in advance, Bryan
