    Glowshift Gauges?

    question, I have been reading that the IDI should never see over 1050 EGT. so where does the 1300 come from?

    Glowshift Gauges?

    Thank you for the info. I may actually go with a ISSPRO pyro juat to be safe but all others i will just use gliwshift. I will never be towing with this truck, its a weld rig for me. The most it will ever have on it is 2000 lbs and will regularly have less than 1200 lbs on it from day to day. So...

    Zf6 swap?

    Thanks for all the info guys. I have decided to keep the ZF5 as it sounds like there wont be any significant benefit. I will be going with 3.55 gears though. I am not ever going to tow with this truck. It is a weld rig amd never has anything over 2,000 lbs on it and regularly has less than 1200...

    Glowshift Gauges?

    The probe is installed about 3 inches before the turbo. I personally would have done it right after the turbo but its already there. So i should be looking for it to be below 1300?

    Zf6 swap?

    I currently have the ZF5, after i put 3.55 gears in the rear i want to do a swap to a 6 speed manual. Would this be a hard/involved job? Is there any fabrication or adapters needed?

    No vacuum normal?

    I am completely new to the IDI world and have very limited knowlege of diesel engines to begin with so I am learning as I go. so nothing you say will come off as smart @ss to me. its all new information as I have always built gas engines, so the basic principals are there but I lack the details.

    No vacuum normal?

    glad to hear that, so I can just thread in the arm on the waste gate and once I get to 12lbs I should be fine right? I will wait until the EGT guage is installed to pump up the fuel anymore, I already have it up 2 flats.

    No vacuum normal?

    I got my boost guage installed today. It is all installed 100% correct, no bends, kinks, cracks, etc. I am getting right at 10PSI max boost at full throttle off the banks sidewinder. But i never show any vacuum. Is that normal? Boost starts to build at about 1200 and maxs out right at 2000 and...

    Glowshift Gauges?

    I got a pleasant surprise while i was digging around under the hood today. The previous owner has already installed an EGT, oil pressure, and boost guage. He must have kept the guages for another vehicle as the likes and wires are all neatly wrapped and zip tied to the firewall. That makes life...
