Dash Boss
Got a Dash Boss for Christmas and got it hooked up. Question for you guys. What are the most important things to keep an eye on. I have oil and water temp guages under the dash ans a 3 in 1 on the a pillar with ext temp, boost ans fuel pressure. I will try and get a picture of it turned on. Thanks

It does take a little while to get used to having that much info at your fingertips lol. After you've had it awhile it won't seem so complicated but I suggest for starters:
Engine oil temp.
Coolant temp.
(Displayed values will be what the PCM is seeing, and you can compare to your gauge set-up to verify it's accuracy)
Trans temp.
Injector Control Pressure
Injector Pressure Regulator
Battery Volatage
FICM Voltages (all 3)
That will keep you busy for a while
.
If you want to really "get into it" here is a nice spreadsheet Piolet typed up for us. You can go through the whole list and record the values if you like. It could come in handy if the truck starts acting up later.
