Gauges

On my 03 I have Pyro/Tran/Boost what is the recommended combination for my 98? I am guessing Pyro/Boost/Fuel Pressure. Is there a reason to monitor Tran Temp in a 5-Speed?

Pyro/Boost/Fuel are the norm for your truck

I don't think a fuel pressure is that important in a 12 valve.

I am just running a pyro and boost gauge.

Why is Fuel Pressure not important in a 12 valve?

They are not as prone to fuel system failures as the 24 valves.

And the injection pump is cooled by engine oil, not excess fuel supplied by the lift pump.

And the lift pump is mechanical, ran by a cam lobe, not electric like in the 24 valves.
