ok i thought i was going to buy some guages off of the sale forum but i got to looking around and can buy new for cheaper.
im considering going with the boost guage pyrometer and fuel pressure guage.
how high should the fuel guage register? i see them for 0-30 and 0-60 and 0-100psi assuming the truck has a 100% stock fuel system what should the readings be? does the fuel guage add any insurance? or should i not be conserned with the guage?

the guages i have found do not say anything about including a thermocoupler or boost sensor, is it a given that there included or is that a seperate purchase?

do they make an apiller mount with 3 guage holes or is 2 the max?

TIA and sorry for the rambling post.

1600 for the pyro (http://www.xtremediesel.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=50)

There are 2 Boost Gauges

35 PSI (http://www.xtremediesel.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=49)

60 PSI (http://www.xtremediesel.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=559)

Both are priced the same, I suppose ya just gotta ask.

Autometer has a triple gauge pod, but since several vendors onsite offer them, Ya gotta go look for them yourself.

In the package you selected, both gauges come complete, but you will have to connect the Pyrometer and the boost, and that may require extra fittings. Like a T for the boost and a bung (dunno if it is supplied) for the pyro.
