2002 PSD Gauges

[rgconway]

Hello,

Just bought a 2002 F350 CC, 7.3, 6sp, DRW. So far, a great truck. I will use for occasional towing, and plan to add EGT and boost gauges. With the manual tranny, I don't think a trans temp gauge is necessary, but I'd like to add 3-4 gauges the make the best choice. My question concerns the OEM gauges. I've read that the OP gauge is driven by a switch. Can this be converted to a proper OP gauge on a 2002? Is water temp also a glorifed idiot light? Can this be converted? If the WT gauge is for real, I may add OP and OT to package. Comments?

Thanks,

Bob
