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 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.

Duh.

But, oh well...

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.
