I think it was bismic that had post about this, why it was better to leave the valve plugged, it lets the fan run at higher rpms, can't remember exactly. Just wondering if i should leave the valve plugged in but out of the intake.

I took this pic on the truck's maiden voyage after installing an auto-pilot system from NASA.

(One hand was on the bottom of the steering wheel.)

I want/need one, how much are you selling yours for?

I dont need the EGT probe because i have pillar gauges with an EGT gauge already.

Also dont need the pod/holder thing because my gauges would be in the way.

I am selling it local on AZPSG for 199
I would throw in the custom pod I made if it would work for you?
I used it with mt Edge attitude also( same display size) to keep it out of the sun and prying eyes
http://www.pwctoday.com/photopost521...m/P7020006.JPG

I wasn't trying to sell it in thus thread so sorry for any hijacks??

I also run an external EGT warning alarm digital gauge I think it is better as a standalone item
