HOW MUCH BOOST ARE YOU RUNNING IN THAT THING..then again i have no idea what kind of boost a normal deisel puts out.. i just didnt think it was more then like 20 psi.. lol
I'm not sure... I think I'm making around 19 lbs or 20 lbs of boost at stock. But I was told to get prepared to make up to 35 lbs of boost with EFILive, but that's only gonna be after the tranni mods

i would just use that one for the time being.. all you need to do is tap into the intake or intercooler piping.. then when you are ready to upgrade the guage all you need to do is unscrew the fitting on the guage and hook up the new one.. least you wont have to run the line again.. i might suggest putting a dimmer on the light for the guages thought cause sometimes at night they can get on your last nerve during long highway drives..
what other guages are you putting in there.. trans temp and air intake temp would be good ones..

Very nice truck, Glenn. I really like the headache rack. I'm still undecided on installing my rack (which is similar to your first pick, only slightly taller, steel, and black), or getting a topper. A topper would be so much better for me, but I just love the looks of headache racks (well, except the one I got, lol).
What kind of plow are you installing on the truck?

Thanks Jimmeh I'm looking at a few different styles of plows. I want one that I don't have to cut my lower valance under the bumper. So far The Boss plow is the one

A bone stock Duramax (VVT turbo) will make around 28psi. Without turbo mods they can make upwards of 40psi by changing the tune. A fixed turbo is running around 25psi without mods but with one simple change can be making the same 40psi.
At John, as much as I like the 7.3L, they do not like high boost like the newer 6.0/6.4/6.7. The reason is the heads. Those 2 valves just cant flow like the newer ones 4 valve design.

Well I just love my truck's new look... I was tempted to post these pictures in the SHOW TRUCK thread LOL
I found an awesome deal on a set of 4 American Racing Rims, they are the Dale Earnhart Jr Signature Series. The set of rims came with 4 Toyo All Terrain Grapples (6 months old )

One thing I noticed that looks kinda out of place are the sport mirrors. They look good, but a 3/4 ton needs some tow mirrors....

I know ..... Some guys like them, and some guys don't. I'm OK with them... I guess cause I don't like that model year of tow mirrors. So I can live with these

Wow I completely missed this thread lol. I like the headache rack, wheels and graphics. They all look good. Have you considered a leveling kit?

Ya I bought a 3" leveling kit but never installed it. I think I'm just gonna leave the stance as it is. Buddy of mine races, and had to remove his leveling kit in order to maintain control of his truck on the green light launches

If you need me to, I could find a good home for that sucker lol. No seriously. I'm a little jealous that your truck has the 3.73 rear end. Mine has those stupid 3.42s.
