SO Sad
I am depressed today my baby (1996 F250 PSD 4x4 Crew Cab) is in the hospital. She went in for a gauge implant and exhaustoplasty. Hopefully she will be released tomorrow.
Seriously I am installing my first set of gauges and have no idea what to look for. What are normal operating parameters?
Mods will include Superchip programmer with the towsafe program installed, 3" downtube to 4" exhaust, Tymar filter, and of course the guages (I know these dont affect the power but I wanted the 30 cool points you get for having them and I really think I need them for safe towing)

I'll tell you what's normal for my truck, but since you live in a warmer climate, you might see a little variation.
At 2000rpms in OD, I see 625*F on the pyrometer, 3.5psi boost, and once the truck is totally warmed up, I see about 125*F on the tranny temp gauge. Realize that I've got an aftermarket tranny cooler, so you could easily see 150*F on the tranny gauge. I would expect your boost and pyro readings to be similar.
I hope this helps.
