And got a triple guage pod for my guages!! I've had my trans temp and fuel pressure guages on the floor for a long time now. Perhaps you've seen my (Guage mount for tightwads) picture in my gallery. Anyways, my FP guage took a dump on me so I had to get a new one and good thing too. The old one has had problems since it was almost new and apparently it was always reading low. My FASS really puts out 18psi versus the 16psi the old guage was showing. I'm still running the Westach guages, because I'm still a tightwad , but I do have all white faced guages now. They match the factory guages in the day but at night they don't.....

What really sucks is that BOTH of the bolts holding my SRT-8 single guage pillar on were spinning inside the door pillar and I had to break it to get it off!!!!! What a STUPID design!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dodgezilla, Good to here....on the floor is not the safest of spots on these trucks...I have a 4 pod waiting to go on above the mirror...plus I have the SRT so five gauges....I won't know what to do then. ks

And I did not take any pictures of it either. There's a thousand pictures of guage pods throughout this site....

If I had two more guages I think I would mount them behind the steering wheel on the column.....

I also straight-piped it today!! It sure is loud that first time you start it up that way. Now let's just see how the neighbors like it. It's definitely quieter than the two straight-piped Harleys up the street so....

Every Diesel I have ever had I have straight piped but I have to say the third gens make the most sound. Every one talks about drone being bad. Mine isnt bad - just took a 1700 mile round trip 10 day beach vacation and the only time it was bad was for all the wannabe powerstrokes, duramaxs and gassers I would pipe along ocean BLVD

It especially sounds loud hooked to a sled and hitting aound 2900-3000 RPM in second gear. I have been researching some exhuast info to see if I should go to a 5 inch with some sort of muffler for better flow. Diesel power mag. has an article in it this past week. I think I am still going to stick with what i got though.

I guess your trans is working OK now, eh Dan Marino??

my autometer phantom FP gauge stays pegged at 15 with my FASS 150...never moves unless fuel is low and then it will drop to like 2 or 3 and then shoot back up to 15 again.

does autometer make a gauge big enough for my application?

Dan Marino

First TQ converter I had was bad. Second is a killer. In fact I have killed 6 powerstrokes and two D-max. Got the badges in sticker form on my tailgate and the checks to go with it Talk about a conversation (argument) starter!

As for my defuel TQ management issue -no luck at all. BD anti defueler didnt help me So I am manually shifting every time I drag or pull. I got 4th place last night vs 18 trucks. Winners went 285' 2001 dually, 272' 2000 dually 247' 2003 shortbed quad and I went 244' One and two were bottle fed.

autometer now has a 0-30psi electric fuel pressure gauge. pricy though.. i plan on using my 0-35psi boost gauge with an isolator for fp reading when i mod my system [gonna see if i can split the case and relable it], and getting a 0-60 boost gauge [in the crystal ball i see twins ]

yeah i finally found the autometer 0-30. the autometer dealer said it didn't exist...lots of problems are surfacing with them now.

sounds like a good plan using the boost gauge!

Dodgezilla,

Check out the autometer dash mount guage holder. It does not require that you take your eyes off the road and keeps the guages hidden from passers by(red lights in the rear view).

Too late now Runamuk. It's done and I really like the pillar mount system....

You have changed so many things on your truck since I last saw it I'm going to have to swing by your place sometime and check it out!

Dodgezilla

Dude, this thing changes daily!! I get bored too easily.....
