got this from auto zone, a little fabbin and she was on there

Fill out your sig, we need details. oil pressure is a must and personally I would go with a water temp also, and a trans temp if you have an auto

Don't know how I forgot a pyro is a must also

 

[trapper]

What all is done to your truck, and what do you do with it. You may not need gauges

Its a 1990 F-250 4x4 5spd NA the only thing ive done is turned up the IP and its straight piped and all i do is drive it around soon i hope to be towing with it i just know the stock oil pressure gauge are crap so thats a deff im just woundering what everyone else has got

Because you have turned the IP up then you should definitely get a pyro. If you like to know what your engine is doing then I'd go ahead and get water and oil at least.

wheres the best place to put the pyro. probe on a non turbo engine

 

[Jbevs]

In the manifold is perfect. Within the first few inches of y pipe after the manifold is very acceptable. The passenger side is usually the easier of the two sides.

I put in 6 aftermarket gauges; see my sig. Especially since you turn the fuel screw a pyro is a must. I put mine in the driver side, either way the manifold will give you the most accurate results. I highly recommend the dual fuel pressure gauges. They will let you know if/when your filter is clogged and/or your lift pump has quit. A mechanical oil pressure is a good investment since the bricknose gauge is nothing more than an idiot light.

You can suppliment your factory gauges. After that, pyro a must, fuel pressure, vaccuum and room for a boost gauge, turbo is always an option, might as well be prepared for it

Learning what to expect from these gauges, fuel pressure and vaccuum, will give earlier detection of a problem. Remember, vaccuum is what helps you stop unless you are hydroboosted.
