91 W250 Cummins 12v 5.9L, manual 5 speed 4X4, Stock Stock Stock

Minium I would suggest is - Boost - EGT (pyro) and Tach. I have used Auto Meter and had good luck with them.

Pyro and Boost to get started. A Fuel pressure guage also comes in handy when messing with the fuel system.

366 Spring
M&H M4 Fuel Pin

i have an oil pressure guage as well, but i'd say muskrat hit the nail on the head

just arrived:Air dog II fuel pump waiten on the reast of the kit, that air dog didn't send

thats a good start. but if its an auto transmission in these trucks, a trans temp gauge is a MUST.

i have a 0-20 psi gauge its a crappy one from kragen auto parts. but the one i plan on getting is a 0-15. i believe anything over 15 is bad for the pumps so no need to go that high anyways.

as for what kind, i got my eyes on the autometer ultra lites those are what im ordering this week

Just get em all.

Its ok, not great. Made it from scratch from a flat metal shelf and a piece of aluminum.

what tach is that and how do you make it work with the diesel?

does anybody know if this will work on our ve's or not. http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo....ULCAN_TEST_KIT

If you are talking about my tach its a EV series Isspro tach. It actually hooks to the factory pcm tach wire harness that the 92 and 93's have. Isspro, Geno's garage and E gauges.com should all be able to get them. Isspro will sell direct.

It will work if you buy there 1/8th inch pipe threaded banjo bolt. It does say not for extended use. Just to hook up and check then take back off. Just ask them to make sure as I am talking from no experence.

i have an auto meter 15psi fuel pressure guage

Good work Richie
