I installed exhaust,trans temp, fuel pressure and boost glow shift guages over the weekend.

I have the 99 dodge 2500 with the cummins. I tow a 27ft elkridge i think it weighs about 8500 to 13000.

My question is iif i am towing up a steep grade what temps and pressures should I be aware of,thanks in advance for any info.

 

I believe exausst temp shouldnt exceed 1250 or so for long periods of time. I am sure some others will chime in with more info for you.

 

Thanks. I noticed you have the fass fuel system. it seems expensive would you recommend it? I really would like to upgrade the stock lift pump.

 

You should not exceed 1250 for long periods of time. But with that said Glowshift Gauges are not known to be very accurate.

 

bummer

 

but at least you have something on there for reference. a fass in not cheap, but neither is an injection pump. So in the long run the fass is cheap compared to things that can go bad. I would say get an edge ez and save for a trans.

 

I have had no probs from my fass system. I wish I would have learned about it before my lift pump died abd killed my injection pump. I have the edge ez and would recommed it also. It gives a little power boost and 1 or 2 mpg.

 

Im running the Air Dog 165 and love it! but on the same not i have never delt with Fass so i cannot give my input on their setup.

 

I would stand by Autometer gauges ran them for years in drag cars.

 

i have never had luck with any autometer products period. i have had 3 different type of autometers in my truck none have lasted over a year without going back to autometer. im running glow shift now and they seem so far to be as good or better than autometer. i know this i took them all out of the box and they all worked, that was a major improvement over autometer. i had a fuel psi gauge go back 3 times before it would work and when i finally got one that did work it lasted 3 months before it died again. but stock turbos and towing settings keep it under 1250-1350.if your gonna go higher than that keep it under 10 seconds at those temps.
