I'm looking at getting a 3 guage cluster for my 98. 5 24V CTD, which has the tach, oil pressure, coolant temp, volts in the stock instrument panel.
I am going to do my first heavy/long haul in early May, and I am thinking I want at least the transmission temp and pyrometer, but I'm undecided on the third. Which would you recommend, a fuel pressure or a boost guage. I am leaning toward the fuel pressure, because I read about the amount of damage a failing lift pump can cause in these 98. 5 to 02 engines, but why would the boost be so important in a stock (so far) engine?
Thanks,
