Turbo boost and Trans Temp. gauges

[JDelOlmo]

All,

I installed a pillar pod for the EGT, Boost and Trans. Temp.

The only one that I connected was the EGT, and I am not sure to the best location to tale the Boost reading and the Trans. Temp. Any ideas or a web site where I can look at step by step installations?

Thanks

Not sure which truck you have, but boost is easy on third gens. Geno's Garage sells a rifle-drilled brass "boost bolt" for $7. 50 which replaces any one of the intake manifold bolts adjacent to the valve cover. It has a 1/8" NPT female connection on top of it. I installed mine on #1, easy to access and it works fine. There are many views on transmission temp sensor location if you search the third gen posts. I have a dipstick (pan) sensor on my Westach but this is not available on any other brand to my knowledge. Good luck with the DIY, the only way to go in my opinion.

Quickest and easiest (IMO) way to connect your transmission temp sender is with a Acu Temp fitting from Geno's. About $32 and gives very good readings without having to open any lines or the pan.

Yup- use this adapter for the trans and the boost bolt for the intake- both avail from Geno's, and easy installs.

That's cool. I am in the military and I am stationed in Rota, Spain right now. Let me know where in Spain he's from!

Oh! BTW, my 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 CTD, 4X4, 2" front leveling kit, on33x12. 5x17 Dick Cepec's turns heads everyday. People tell me that my truck is too big for the little streets here, but the way I look at it is the town is too small for my truck.

All the best!
