My next set of gauges are coming from these guys:

I think 6 inputs in 3 gauges, 6 read-outs, would be just right for me.

Seem priced with the Autometers, not as bad as Glow-Shift...

I'm showing $250 for their boost/pyro combo kit. Boost goes to 80, but what's up with only having 3 numbers for pyro?

Do the glowshift ones cost that much?

Here's what I had in my Dodge the first time, though it was a 35psi gauge:

Westach makes it, though their prices are up to about $300 for the gauge kit.

You can get it in Celsius or Fahrenheit. My guess is the *F is XX.X times 100.

Just ran 2 tanks of fuel through the '96.
I got back-to-back 19 MPG with consistent speeds over 65!
530 miles per tank, 27 gallons to fill, exact same pump at the same station and both fills at the same level in the neck.

No, I'm not mad at this truck ONE BIT. :D

got her going, shifts nice and smooth, took 5 gallons of atf at this point :shock:

made the lines out of 1/2 stainless, bubble flares on the end. Parker pushlock for the jumper lines, original temp sender mounted in the line is relocated at the filter head (auto guru's, think I'll have any issue with the temp drop from the trans to there?)

cooler is wired up with a relay, with the sence wire going through the thermostatic switch.

all needs to be tidyed up, all temporay untill I get it registered and I know that the cooler is enough to keep the system cool.

mounted the cooler on the passenger side under the bed, upright

filter right in front of it

then down and over the crossmember

back into the trans

You should have turned the cooler a 1/4 turn, so the air flows over it. It saves on the fan by cooling naturally and helps in general. As for the fan sensor, I would put it coming right out of the trans, so that the fan kicks on as soon as hot oil is detected. It kinda gives the cooler a head start before hte hot oil actually gets there.

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.
