Default Guage install on the powerstroke.

Looking at digging into it if not tomorrow, sat. but really would rather have someone else there that's done it, or is electrically inclined to be there as I absolutely hate wiring, anyone done this on their diesel?

Guages are autometer boost, trans, pyro.

Need to get this done this weekend as I'm scared running my new tunes without guages to moniter what's going on.

Boost and pryo are easy.. Trans you may need some fittings. I know my 97 F150 has a temp sender fitting in the factory line....

The trans is the easiest on the 6.0, uses a stock hole in the trans to screw the fitting in. I'm just not one for wiring/drilling/tapping things on a 32k truck but I'm going to advance to get my wire, bits, and taps now and hoping for the best..

My manifold was surprisingly soft, tapping for the EGT was really easy. I used a boost bolt for my boost gauge so I didn't have to tap anything.

this is by far one of the best mods i ever done on my truck. if you really want to see what your engine is doing i highly recommend one of these gauges Technical Information it reads every sensor in your engine and you can read and clear trouble codes with it.
