Well, I finally gave in...I bought a used Juice on eBay. $306 for a standard version 4.61. A pretty fair deal I think.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif


I plan on installing a triple gauge pod, then installing the box. I know I could have bought the Juice w/Attitude version, but I really like the A-pillar gauge look (cool factorhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif) and I don't really need the extra HP that is available with the Attitude setup. I want more power, but I'm not going to do any racing, I just want to step up the performance and "fun factor"!


Now I need to order my gauges. I am about 95% sold on the Autometer Lunar series in a triple pod, but I have a couple of questions: Is the tranny temp gauge a good choice for monitoring my rear diff w/a Mag-Hytek cover and is there anywhere I can get a color matched pillar pod?


I will soon join the ranks of the http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif crowd! I can't wait to see what everyone that is Juiced is talking about!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif


Thanks!

Congrats !!!


If you do alot of towing then the differential temp gauge would be a good idea ...I would op for a OIL temp gauge tho not a tranny temp gauge ...


I believe one of the advertisers here offer painted pods ... Check the vendors forum ...

I ran a rear end temp. guage for a while and never experienced the guage moving that much even when towing. My 2 cents is to not waste your time probing the Mag-Hytec, it don't look the best with the probe sticking out the back side of it anyway. A good place to order your painted pillar would be from www.atsturbo.com (http://www.atsturbo.com), I ordered mine from there and they done a fine job of painting it and being very careful shipping it.


Also remember horsepower is an addiction,http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif so be ready to send that box off for an ATTITUDE upgrade.


Good luck

I think the oil temp gauge suggestion is a good idea.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif My question now is canI use the trans temp gauge as an oil temp gauge, because I cannot find a gauge that is specifically "oil temp"? Where/how should the probe be installed?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Ermm.gif


Thanks,


Kevin
