Few Quick Questions
Alright guys, I've had my truck a couple of weeks and after browsing around this site I have got to do some mods to my truck.
I'm hoping to get some gauges very soon. Definitly going to do the pyro and boost gauges. Couple of questions --> What brand do yall recommend, where to buy them? Are they hard to install? About how much should it cost to have them installed?
Also, I'm planning to do the 6637 filter mod to my truck tomorrow. I currently have a stock replacement K&N filter, is the 6637 going to make a better difference? Also since it is paper and not oiled, won't it get wet and mess up when it rains?
Just some questions I thought of tonight. I would appreciate all advice from you guys. You guys seem to be geniuses in your own right when it comes to powerstrokes, keep up the excellent work!

This is the setup I used, It is from one of the sites sponsors, comes with good instructions, good price, free shipping, looks and works great.

Should be able to install yourself with minimal tools.
I have had the 6637 for over a year. I was also worried about water to begin with. I checked it several times after a drive in heavy rains and it just don't get wet. It will make a differance in the filtration you will get. The 6637 does not allow any dirt to go through, but does allow more air than your engine could ever need. Stock boxes with any filter funs the risk of allowing dust to get to you turbo and that ain't good. You are gonna love the sounds it adds to you engine.

i got mine from Garrett at PureDieselPower.. a site sponsor. i have Autometer Sport Comps and they are awesome. match the stock dash perfectly. i plan to get 4 more soon. the install into the truck is fairly easy, consists of drilling and tapping a hole for the exhaust temp sender, which is the hardest part. however it is not hard, just time consuming to do it right. the install of the gauges to the pod was already done, i paid to have that done, as i am not an electrician and hate wiring. you can do the install yourself, don't let someone take your money like that.
the filter, yes it is alot better than the stock one. it SEALS way better than the stock box will ever seal up. even being such a big open element, mine has not gotten wet or even damp in the harshest of rain storms.
