gauges

[crazyfool502]

new to the diesel world and i really would like to know what gauges to run on my 7.3 psd for everyday driving no heavy pulling?

Boost, pyro (EGT), and if you have an automatic tranny, trans temp. all stuffed in the triple pod (you'll need these down the road, trust me!). Buy the Autometer Ultra-Lites and you got yourself a good looking set-up IMO. If you want to spend a butt load of cash, go buy Bully Dog's gauges.

Bully Dog:
Pyro- $234.99
Boost- $60.99
Trans Temp- $69.99
Triple Pod- $82.50

Jegs:
Pyro- $89.99
Boost- $44.99
Trans Temp- $64.99
Triple Pod- $59.99

why????

I got my triple pillar, boost, pyro, tranny temp for $250
autometer sport comps, they match the factory stuff very well, good clean install.

That's what I asked. A kid I work with brought his dads truck in today so I could look at it. He has the Quad pod with the boost and tranny temp, but he installed 2 pyros, 1 before the turbo and the other after the turbo. He said that this is a must for serious sled pulling. I think he's on crack myself.......

Where'd you get such a good price on that set up?

[purduefarmboy460]

black cloud is a good place to start, I think they start at $279

I got my guages thru a private dealer on the net and was asked not to advertise for him. but if he read this and new there was lots of business, I'm sure he'd be interested....

I'm debating on the 4th gauge right now...
