Any recommended fuel gauge mine currently has on with plastic line going into pillar I'm not fond due to if it was to break might make a mess

I have always installed and built my own trucks but also have learned its sometimes cheaper to buy one already done so I maid a exception and let him save me the money

So its not good to have two chips doing timing at the same time .... who new

Yes that is one thing he did tell me thanks for telling me

I installed an isspro ev2 FP gauge in my pillar. electronic so no fuel is in the cab. You can get 1/8 copper tubing and run it to the gauge, lil more durable than the plastic line.

Like RAW said your egts are within the safe range. But if you are worried about them, instead of different injectors you might want to look into a three piece exhaust manifold or water/methanol.

Water meth isn't something I would suggest. It isn't a permanent fix, needs constant fill ups, and tuning it in can never time consuming. The same money could be put into permanent, zero maintenance upgrades. Exhaust manifold, Camshaft, intercooler, etc.

My electric AutoMeter fuel gauge was about $250. No fuel in the cab, easy install, and quick to respond.
