10K resistor mod help

[jetskier2313]

I'm thinking about doing the 10k mod to the ICP and I'm wondering if the 10k is still the best to use? Also is this mod safe on a stock truck? Also is the mpg any better?
Thanks

the 10K is fine to use, I ran it for a while and I did see a very small increase in milage but you have to keep your foot out of it, yeah right...this mod is safe for a stock truck but you realy need guages the EGTs will get out of hand quickly under hard eccelaration and it will tend to make your auto trans run a little warmer than usual at least it did in my truck.

I alright i just did the 10k Mod and it works great, right now i'm using a 5.6K resistor and it has a noticable difference in power but the idle is lopy. I'm wordering if it ok to keep this set up with out gauges. I plan on getting gauges soon but not right now. Is this mod going to hurt my truck in any way? Should I just wait for gauges?

Thanks

It shouldnt hurt at all but i would get gauges asap you should be fine if you dont hold it wide open for two long just keep it under control. I did it and never had a problem with temp unless i was pulling a steep grade with a trailer

Alright thanks, I want to get gauges i just don't know what style i want. Has anyone mounted their gauges under the dash?

[sawyer1]

Yeah i believe people hav but I went with the pod guage on the a pillar that way i dont have to look down to monitor i can still see the road.

You want the gauges where you can see them without having to look too long.

Ok I have 10k mod installed for about a 5 days now. I used a 5.6k resistor. I have noticed a huge increase in mpg, acording to the overhead console. I haven't had the chance to do the math by hand yet, but before I installed the mod the overhead console was dead on. I was averaging about 16.5 without the mod and now with the mod installed it says 21.

Is this ok. I don't want to be hurting anything on my truck.
Do you think I should just stick with the 10k resistor?

Thank You

Please let us know how it turns out hand calculated. Thats a tremendous jump.
