Anyway, I dunno what trans mods - I saved up for BTS and BABIED that sucker for 80k (even with chip). Prolly VB and cooler upgrades? The BTS is freakin' amazing - I wish I coulda done that FIRST! :

OP one thing you should know is there is a fitting you will need to purchase for screwing into the back of the fuel bowl. Isspro is 1/8 NPT on the sensor

I got mine at a hydraulics shop for $3.50 and replaced the oring with one from Bob's kit

hahaha. psd syndrome is addictive. ohh well, it gives us something to do. knock on wood the transmission seems pretty solid right now, so maybe when i get done with the engines performance then ill work on the transmissions performance. the cooler will probably be the first thing, especially when i start seeing rising temps in its temperature. hopefully the tax return is what i expect and i can get everything in one swipe. but we'll see. i'll drive the thing till it drops, then fix it up and drive it some more. especially till the new diesels get better gas mileage then what we get.

that was kind of rhetorical, the only thing that stops the engine performance mods is the depth of the wallet

How do you guys feel about glowshift gauges? Junk in a month? Anybody have personal experiences with them? I like the lighting and the prices seem pretty good. Just checking a few other products out besides those mentioned is all.

That about sums it up from the people I know who made that mistake. I'd do the $300ish autometers before those. One guy sent his gauge(s) back a few times before buying 'good' gauges.

Would you consider your factory gauges 'temporary'? If they had an option for cheeeep gauges from the factory, would ya have picked it? For me, $600 for gauges that should last as long as my PSD seemed like a good investment!

Good point. I saw another person had some on here and investigated. Their prices are unmatched anywhere, but for obvious reasons.
