Gauges for a new 2022

[Turbo Terry]

HO Aisin. Will be stock in the box. No mods. Do I need boost and egt gauges. What about fuel pressure and transmission temp gauges Thanks

If you are leaving stock you don't need any gauges. If you want something just because you want to know what is going on, get a Insight CTS2 or 3 and use it. It will display any parameter the computer monitors.

Just drive it, play with the radio and other goodies.

It already has boost and trans temp on the cluster.

EGTs aren’t needed and fuel pressure isn’t monitored, or needed IMO.

Good I’m to old to do gauges Thanks

Good decision, leave it stock, don't mess around in these high tech electronics.
These vehicles work perfectly from factory and monitor everything internally, if any parameters go out of spec it will Inform you or go to limp mode if needed.

I good code reader would be nice to have since such as AlfaOBD on android with a OBDLink MX Bluetooth dongle. This will allow you to change some of the parameters on your truck as well if you want to. See the following thread on TDR; Alfa OBD II Capabilities Thread - Please Post what you have done. | Turbo Diesel Register

Yes bone stock. Sounds boring but ok. I promised my wife . Dealer can work on this one

Yeah, if only my truck had a bunch of extra gauges it would have lasted 600K miles...
Oh, wait, my truck has lasted 600K miles without any extra gauges!
Wow! What do you know about that!

I've been meaning to ask if you're still on the original lift pump? If so, how many hours on it?

Lift pump? Yes.
Hours? Thousands.
New high pressure pump at about 400K

Mine has so many screens and choices of what gauge to put where, you can laterally spend hours moving them around and choosing which screen to look at. No need for anything additional

In my 2004, I added a turbo temp and transmission gauge . The turbo temp was handy to monitor shut down temps.
In the new truck, I'm considering an EGT gauge solely for shutdown temps. The EVIC has all else I need.
For now, I'm just idling for 3 to 5 mins at a rest area. It would be peace of mind to know what the temp is.
