98rammer,no problems with the electrical senders yet.

I am hoping to do this same thing to mine when the transmission is finished. Still waiting on the rest of my parts.

I don't know how I missed it the first time around, but that is a very nice setup.

One question, I understand the importance of the line pressure, can someone explain the importance of monitoring the TC pressure?



Thanks,

Ryan

Iceman,good work. I would like to have 200PSI guages myself,as 150PSI isnt enough for my truck

. Did you talk to Bill K about your pressures,they seem a bit low. Id check them with a known accurate guage.

 

[**ICEMAN**]

just thought i would bring this back to the top for the ones who missed it.

i did this back in 2002.

gauges

ICEMAN! Looking Good. Oo.

 

[Snow man]

ICEMAN,im glad you got those pressures moved up a bit. Have those guages been troube free for the most part?

 

[**ICEMAN**]

snow man,,,no problem at all with the gauges.

but then again,,i only put about 2k miles on it in the last year!!!

I've been going thru and researching stuff. How's your gauge setup holding up?



Thanks

Guages

All guages are still working great. Want pics? send me email address.

 

[**ICEMAN**]

my setup was working just fine.

i removed my heat exchanger for the twin turbo install and decided to use maunual gauges for line pressure and t/c pressure(couldn't decide where to tap the elec senders in).

i also got new autometer 2 5/8" 0-150 psi gauges(wanted to match the rest of the phantom series gauges in the truck)



i have the vdo gauges,senders and custom made hose shown in the pics at begining of thread.

if someone wants it all ?,,pm me and make me an offer.
