gauges
 

i have put new gauges in my 91 w250 5spd 4x4 what oil press and temp is everyone running i have manual gauges im not a big fan of electrical gauges thanks for any input

Autometer and ISSPRO have the best rep, but are expensive. I been using mostly Autometers in my trucks with no problems. A few years ago they replaced a defective out-of-the -box pyro for me quickly, no questions asked. You can get all the gauge brands at egauges.com for less than most other places I've seen them.

You read the post? :D

im running all autometer now oil water and alt still waiting on my pod and pyro have you ever wired in a tach on a first gen??

You need a Diesel specific tach for diesel trucks. If you look in teh sticky you will see a thread I did on installing my Isspro.

Upon "re-reading" the post, I see the OP "have put" not "have to put."

Duh.

But, oh well... :w2:

Oil pressure should run around 30psi hot idle and 80psi max cold at speed. A healthy engine will run 60psi hot on the highway. Temp will be variable according to load, but the thermostat should have it at about 180, unloaded.
