With our new to us 97 F350 7.3 diesel; i want to make sure is well taken care and also, needs to last a good while.
Whats the word out there in adding boost,EGT and Transmission temp gauges.
Are these necessary to have? or a transmission gauge will be all i need?
I already added a second Transmission fluid cooler and filter.
I am not planning on adding any tuners or chip the engine at least in the near future.
A tranny gauge is all you need IMHO. If you truck is stock you're not going to burn it up with factory settings so you don't really need an EGT gauge.
You will know if you don't have boost; believe me! So no need for that either.
One of my trucks has gauges and one doesn't. There is not any reason to look at the gauges anymore for me. It's kind of like: ya, I have boost, ya the EGT is X; ya, so?
If you had a chip my answer would be different.
