OT First pull (post gauge install)

Well we took a 300 mile (1 way) trip to the deer lease in the hill country this weekend and although i still dont have my pyrometer gauge hooked up (dont ask) i never lacked power, loved watching my boost gauge while passing up slackers, but it hung around 6 psi at 75mph pulling a 10' trailor with my four wheeler and the back of the truck loaded through the hills. Transmission stayed around 175 and barely got over 180 on steep climbs.

Does the trans temp and the boost sound about right?

Shoot Clay an email sales@riffraffdiesel.com or contact Ed, ford parts guy on here for one. They are spendy!! But your tranny will like it!

You can also find them on ebay, craigslist, and even at a junkyard for a deal...

Sounds about right on the trans and boost. Get your pyro hooked up and you will be surprised how fast the EGTs will climb.
