What Guages?
Quick question – I need to know what gauges I need, to make sure everything is running well. If I get the three pillar cowl mount ( I'm running a Predator tune now ) what 3 gauges do I get?<O

you will need a boost and a EGT pyrometer guage, if you have a 04 thats all you'll NEED since you have a trans. temp guage already. Its best to mount the egt thermocouple in the drivers side manifold. this is a great instruction page
desielmanor has a good instruction page

I agree factory tranny temp=WORTHLESS!!
'03's have them too.

Hey Smokin 6.0 looks like the instruction page link didn't make it to the board. I am getting close to adding a pyrometer. I would like to see a good set of instructions. Any chance of anyone out there with some good suggestions?

Maybe I've got the Thurs. blues or could be I'm just confused, but a few posts ago someone said that '04's had/have a tranny temp. guage? I have an '04 350 6.0 and I didn't know that I had one. Anyone care to straighten me out?? Thanks!JB

When at the shop last night I asked about just adding a pyro gague and they tried telling me it would run $500. "For only $250 more you can buy this edge with attitude chip and it has the pyro gague plus does ...."
I think they were trying to take me for a ride, I can not imagine a guage runs $500??

Autometer sells a complete set (trans, pyro egt, boost) part number 7075. They sell on ebay for around 250-300 complete. The part number states it is for 1999-2003 model Super Duties, but I have been told by several dealers that they work in the 04 and 05 models.
Google the following "autometer a-pillar 7075" without the quotes

With the Edge,the Pyrometer probe (Thermocouple) still needs to be installed, bringing the cost up conciderably. I've been quoted $900+ for triple guages, do it yourself.
