Hey guys im excited to maybe get to go to of the g2g soon. just had all replaced injectors thanks to Full Force and Riffraff, turbo rebuild and AIH plug as well as CCV kit done Thanks to Chris AKA the "Diesel DR." and am in the process of rebuilding the tranny. just wondering if and where I can get a kit to do my EGT gauge and maybe another like trans temp or boost? any suggestions would be very appreciated, as well as info on a g2g somewhere near Victoria TX

 

You need to get with Clay at Riff Raff again. He will hook you up with all you need.

 

As fate so happens...
Billy i just put a new set of gauges in my truck...
I now have a spare 3 pod a pillar and a 1pod steering column mount.
I have the boost, trans, and diff temp gauges.
The gauges are old and beat up but they work.
If you go ahead and get new gauges... maybe you can use the pods and save a few bucks.
We can paint match... o r....


Maybe rhino line them as a experiment? Lol

Man i hope the trans thing turns out to be something simple... im hoping for a torque converter drain plug fell out kinda situation. Maybe start a new thread with words like "transmission" "puking" "burnt" " "fluid" in the title...that might get Mark K's attention.

Thanks again for letting me put my hands all over your truck's goodies. Its dirty, greasy... but refuses to quit. Bolts cooperate with me on your truck... and i have to say it again...

After the hard miles this truck has been through... the stock uppies are solid as rocks. Not a leak 1. And the turbo r&r was the absolutely smoothest and fastest i have experienced. It was like alien magnets were just pulling the truck back together...

Ffd does good work with their injector rebuilds and im sure you will love them. Cant wait to hear how much of a difference the new sticks made and the new impressions of your seat of the pants dyno results.

 

Oh and for the gtg's...
Sometimes they get burried in the forum here... so be sure to check waaaaaay down on the main forums list in the texas chapter. I know Brother Ted (twg1966) mentioned he wanted to do a general social gtg the beginning of the year... but someone might get a wild hair with the lack of cold weather and decide to put something together on short notice... so the chapter page is better for that kinda thing.

 

What gauges did you go to?

 

I got the ones from Bob G. (Bobbydiesel)
They are the Glowshift max tow double visions.
Fuel pressure (finally!)
Boost to 60psi
Oil, coolant, tranny temp
Twin pyro's (one for each side)
Still need to wire in the old pyro for downpipe (i want to keep a closer eye on heat soak)

So far i really like them.
Had to turn them all the way down for night driving... talk about bright and easily visible.


The ones up for grabs if Billy wants them are Autometer sportcomp gauges.
