I am just now ordering my gauges as well. Everyone I have talked to said make sure that your gauges are all installed before you do anything dealing with fuel changes. mainly do to egt's.

What you talked about in teh 1st post wont effect your EGT's enough to hurt anything. You dont need to worry about them untill you start playing with teh full power screw unless there is already a problem.

With that said gauges are still a great idea to have even on a stock truck.

Its never a bad idea to know what your truck is doing, while going down the road. Gauges are always good.

Ok. Good to know guys. Maybe I'll just use the cash I have now the get the truck on the road. Then later when I sell my car to make it my full time driver i'll buy the gauges. For now it's just going to be the part time driver so I can go out and do some camping if I want.

If there is anyone that is around the Las Vegas to Salt Lake strip of I-15 that wants a hydraulic dump bed then I got one for ya. ha ha

They're pretty easy on our old Dodges, but in your Mitsubishi, I don't know. Do some research on the internet and mabey contact a guy named Doug Hackney, He built a sweet overland travle rig out of a Fuso FG 140.
Hackney BEV

Good Luck!
