Guage install

[dzldpatriot]

Santa brought me a set of Autometer Z series gauges... f/o psi, egt & boost. Installed them today in the A pillar mounting pod. Thanks to the many postings on these items, my installation went smooth. Mounted my boost probe in the air horn, pre-turbo mount for the pyro and the "modified" banjo with flex hose up to the f/o sending unit.

So far I look ok with f/o psi, idling around 11-12. When f/o psi is checked at WOT are you guys doing this under load or in the driveway?

I've owned the truck for close to 2 years now... no complaints, love it! Closing in on 30k, fluid changes (trans & coolant) around the corner. I've been a member of TDR for roughly the same amount of time.

Enjoy the threads and the education that goes with them. Hope everyone is off to a good new year. Thanks again, the gauge pod is .

WOT runs need to be done loaded as possible, and on the road...

... kinda thought thats what the answer would be Now I'll need to find an open stretch of road with nobody hiding in the medium .

You don't necessarily have to go WOT for a prolonged amount of time to see if it looks ok or not. I good go-pedal-to-the-floor for a few seconds will pull your PSI down in a hurry.



p. s. my neighbor has had a 99 since 99 and I finally convinced him to hook up my Briarhooper gauge. His pump was completely dead (gauge showed a vacuum), he didn't even believe it so we had to walk back over to mine and show him that the gauge worked.
