gauges kits?

Hi,

Looking to adding a few gauges to the ram. As she sits right now it looks like the previous owner added a pyrometer since there's a cable coming off the header and the cable is running toward the drivers side firewall but is cut off.


Anyways, I wanted to get that cabled hooked up (ETG?) boost? Other recommendation?



My truck doesn't have a tuner but that's in the works coming soon, This is my first cummins and i have tons of questions and still learning. Hell i replaced my fuel filter today what a horrible and annoying spot.

Thanks!

count your blessings on the fuel filter. try doing a ford or a dmax. you will be smiling from ear to ear with your dodge.

looks like the previous owner drilled it in the correct spot so thats a plus.

WELCOME TO DTR!

That is a pyro probe, but if it was cut, it is worthless. Besides, when you get your new pyro gauge, it will likely come with a new probe.

My 03' is the second truck I have had ISSPRO gauges in with good success. I currently have mine in the cuby hole with an Autometer mount but will be moving them to the pillar with a Lazersmith piller plate.

Anybody got a spec for the lift pump fuel pressure. The SM shows a pressure for the gas engine but nada for the 5.9! We're talking a stock 2006 5.9.
