Good to know. Still new to this diesel world, so I'm learning.
Now, where to mount a single gauge...... pillar? I like the idea of the E650 dash conversion, but I really don't need a gauge pod when I have Torque for my few and far between trips.

The app alone will not measure EGT because it is not something that our trucks already monitor internally. You will have to get an EGT probe to put in the manifold and a gauge or digital display to read it. I am not sure if there is a way to get Torque Pro to read the signal from the EGT probe.

My experience with EGTs while running empty is that you don't have to worry about it unless you're running a really hot tune. Despite my best efforts, I'm unable to get my truck past about 1100 when it's empty. Back when my up-pipes were leaking badly, EGTs were normal when empty and only spiked noticeably when I hooked the RV up to it.

Fuel pressure is the only other one that you need a gauge for if you want to monitor it.

I would like more MPG, but I'm satisfied for the time being. I mean, it is a nearly 9k pound vehicle.

Since then I went to a single gloshift pillar pod. Fit was poor.
I now have an Autometer quad pillar pod. Fit is good. I have 2 open spots for future use if needed.

This may be but look at how long you need to to be. It is a metal rod inside you bend where you want it to go.

I took off the access panel below the steering wheel and used an existing bolt. I was going to cut the panel so I can put it back but never did. Need to finish this.
