Gauges and Tunes
Hey all powerstrokers!
So.....I got an SCT tuner for my 6.0L, and HOLY CRAP!!!
And havent even custom tuned it yet, just used the preloaded strategy tunes.
That truck runs like new! Now for all you diesel guys out there, What are the gauges recommened to get to install on my truck to make sure i dont blow anything in my engine? I have heard boost, fuel pressure, and i dont know what all to get gauge wise.....All help is appreciated.

I installed most of my gauges before tuning, be careful without gauges!

I haven't done a ton of research, but it seems nothing coming close to the Torque app on the iPhone. Almost makes me want to pick up a Droid phone second hand cheap and just use it as a scanner.

Dashboss is intriguing, I was thinking about the SG2, but can't get past the little 1982 pocket calculator LCD screen.
