What third gauge should I Get?

[Rcpilotlv]

I have a egt and boost gauge already with a autometer pilliar. Looking to add third gauge... . Should it be engine oil temp,fuel pressure or rear axle temp. . I have a manual so i dont think i need transmission temp? Am i forgetting any gauges? what gauge would you add?

 

[LSMITH]

12V or 24V?

 

[chuck3]

No contest if its a 24 V. FUEL pressure.

 

[RBSOB]

Rc, just to clarify, on a 24 valve truck FUEL PRESSURE monitoring is critical Have fun, Jim G.

 

[RottnDogue]

If it's a 12v get the Boost... ... Not critical, but is fun to watch

What chuck3 and RBSOB said

Sorry guys for some reason my signature didnt come up I have a 2002 ETH ... .....

As stated above, if it's a 24v DEFINATELY fuel pressure. My recommendation is to put a fuel pressure gauge on even before an EGT or boost gauge on 24v's. JMHO

ok i got my signature backOo. Oo. Oo.

 

[Extreme1]

How about...

An altimeter?



A inclinometer?



"Rounds Remaining"Oo.

You may not think you need a temp gauge for the transmission, but I can tell you if I had one I would not have fried mine. I know I had heat build up before it let go but I had no way of knowing. Now I have a probe in the rear end, transmission, boost and pyro. I starting to believe one is needed for monitoring every device with oil and moving parts. Those units are not cheap and need looking after.



MHO.

As has been said above, a FP gauge is THE most important on a 24V, first even before a pyro IMO.

 

[Ted Constantine]

I sure wish I had a FPgauge rather than a bunch of other stuff I have and really don't NEED. I NEED a fuel pressure gauge.

Rcpilotlv,



I know it's been said already... but I would go with the Fuel Pressure Gauge. Sorry to be repetitive! Good luck, -Ken

 

[Phil Stuart]

Third gauge

ditto on the fuel pressure!
