2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Most important to monitor? Gauges ??

[Robert101]

What are the most important peramitars to monitor that would require aftermarket gauges??



I have a stock 1999 2500 and have not done any performance mods, I just want to be able to monitor the numbers that might show me a problem ahead of time...

I hae been told I need a Fuel Pressure Gauge, EGT, and boost... .

yes or no??



Thanks

Sounds like you already know what is important, and you have it in the correct order.

Also add transmission temp gauge if an auto trans. If you have a manual and tow heavy, it still wouldn't be a bad idea, but not as critical.

If you can only get ONE GAUGE make it the EGT!!!!

Most important gauge on a bone stock 99 24v would be a fuel pressure gauge, NOT the EGT. He will have a pretty hard time exceeding the temp limit, but the FP gauge will tell him that his lift pump has already died.

So true on the fuel pressure. I forgot no mods.
