Gauge Pillar install done, boost gauge ?
How much boost do our truck run stock? Just curious, mine barely makes any boost at all at idle and about 15lbs when i got in the throttle hard. And what are normal trans temps?
Thanks

Perfectly normal...

You will not have any boost at an idle... And you will only see about 18 max on a stock truck at WOT.

Trans temps should not be over 100* above the outside temps. That's what Fullcrew says, he's a Ford trans guy. Mine runs about 180* pulling a 15K 5er in my signature.

My truck usually runs tranny temps of anywhere from 125-165 with it being cooler when I'm cruising down the freeway and higher if I am in stop and go traffic or something like that.
