EGT Gauge
Hey Ken,
I plan to purchase gauges soon myself. What brand gauges do you reccommend? I have the factory trans temp. I know I'll need the EGT and Boost. Is there any other that I should consider. I want to install the required gauges before the superchip upgrade, exhaust and air flow upgrades. I own an 02' F-350 PSD,CC,LB,SRW, True Blue w/grey leather.
Thank you for your time,

I just orderd egt and boost gauges for my stock 2002 F-350 cc. I like Autometer gauges, I found them at Summit for a good price( I think). I orderd the dual gauge pillar mount that is factory color from pmt ( that was the only place i found them in color). I hope to have all for the weekend. I will let all know how I make out.

An EGT guage is also known as a pyrometer. You might find it easier that way.

EGT Gauge
The pod and gauges are easy to mount, the most trouble is drilling the exhaust elbow between the exhaust manifold and the turbo, be sure to start with a small drill bit and go larger until you get to 1/4"(if you use the autometer).I got to drilling the 1/4 with an old bit and it broke, but I could just get enough of it to get it before it fell into the manifold.Oh another tip is to mount the pod to the existing apillar then mount it to the truck,very easy.I think western diesel has a good set of directions on their site.
