Extra Gauges
thanks all! Went with a set of Auto Meter Cobalt digital EGT, Oil Pressure, and Water Temp gauges. I'll run these for now since the plan is to do a ZF-5 swap at some point.- mckenziedg

Extra Gauges
Not planning on much towing at all. Mainly used as a hunting truck. I might tow my Isuzu Trooper twice a year (if it ran and if I had a trailer). Thinking I’ll just go with oil pressure for now and add the trans temp later if I fell the need. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- mckenziedg

Extra Gauges
Sorry to bring up an old thread.... I'm going to try and put in a triple gauge pod in my 86'....will be doing the pyro and water temp. Was looking for suggestions on oil pressure vs trans temp (I've got the C6). Thanks in advanced- mckenziedg

Looking for a Vacuum Control Valve 6.9 IDI
Like the title says, I'v looking for a VCV for the 6.9IDI. The **** for the transmission broke off, I tried to glue it back but it's not holding. Transmission won't shift out of 1st gear. If anyone's got a lead or a parts engine that would be fantastic. Also mine only had one screw holding it...- mckenziedg

Looking for some suggestions. Just replaced the IP and injectors with new return lines, olives etc. (thanks Mel and Russ). When I bought the truck it was running off of one fuel tank plumbed directly into the midship tank. Recently installed 38gal rear tank and re-plumbed all lines through the...- mckenziedg

Rebuild, Power Stroke or Cummins?
DT360 would be interesting......but I vote Cummins swap for aftermarket support and parts availability down the road. Of course being different and building an IDI is a nice idea. Welp I've been vague and not helpful, my work here is done.- mckenziedg
