i have a 2000 edge comp im getting installed with a set of gauges..how long should a shop charge me for this? im also getting a low fuel light installed...one question i have is with the egt..they told me they are going to have to pull the turbo to put the egt in as they will need to take the shavings out before the turbo...i thought there was a place to hook it up...if anyone has info that would be great...thanks again everyone

 

They should be able to get the pryo sender in there w/o removing the turbo as long as they are careful to clean out all the shavings. I guess if you wanted to be 100% it might be necessary to remove the turbo, but little magnet on a stick they should be able to get everything out. These trucks already have a low fuel light as far as I know, I know my '96 does. Are you getting one that comes on at a different fuel level? Or might you be talking about fuel pressure?

There is no place to hook the EGT probe up other than drilling and tapping a hole as far as I know.

 

They should be able to do it with it on the truck ive installed a couple for friends and i just let the engine idle while i drill and tap the hole and it blows rite out.

 

thanks for the replys..yes i ment low fuel pressure light..how long does it take to install the tranny temp, boost and egt,low pressure light?? i want to make sure im not getting hosed..and they should install the egt BEFORE the turbo right?? thanks again..

 

so wheres the best place to put the egt??

 

before the turbo. they will probably take the turbo off for liability purposes...

 

what about the tranny temp?? is there a service port they can put it into?? or do they have to tap the pan and put it in there??

 

could i run the edge comp without gauges for a few weeks if i took it easy on it?? or would you not run without gauges

 

you can run the comp without gauges if you want just dont go above 3x5 after that you will be able to drop your fuel pressure to low

 

what do you mean too low?? wouldnt it be too high? also i was looking at the truck..my chip was not installed when i bought the truck..wires were run as it was installed before..im reading the manual and it says"supplied pin connector"?? is that the spade thats on the end of the grey wire?? or is there something else..also i believe the IP has been changed in the truck and the chip wasent re-installed so if the IP was tapped before would the wire still be tapped?? thanks again this sites great

 

The harder you accelerate the lower your fuel press gits. anything lower than 5 psi is bad for the I.P.

 

ahhh ok thanks...what do you think about the other question about the wire???

 

track the grey wire that comes out of the wiring harness for the comp. it should be connect to the IP wire. if it is not connected then the comp is only putting out about 65HP.

 

i dont know how to post pictures or i would..the grey wire in NOT hooked up to the IP. the black one is grounded and the grey one has a connector on the end but its not plugged into anything..since it was tapped before i was woundering if the wire would still be there or will i need to tap the new IP?? and what does the pin connector look like? is it the connector ont he end of the grey wire...thanks for the help

 

you should have a connector on the end of the grey wire. and you need a scotch-lock on the IP wire. then you plug then together
