Manual Transmission
 

Do you need to monitor tranny temp on manual transmission? If so, do they have a plug you can just hook up to a gauge? I've ordered a chip and am trying to figure out if I need that gauge or not?

Thanks

It is not needed. You can watch it but its not one that's needed. If you want to watch it you can drill and tap the PTO cover and put the sensor there.

Is it recommended or is that really just for auto trans? And if not, is fuel pressure something that needs to be watched? Or what other gauge would u recommend besides pyro and boost?

High Pressure Oil Pump

How do you hook that gauge up?

If you're looking for a 3rd gauge to put in a pod, Scan gauge... It reads everything your PCM see's and displays it in a 2 1/16" gauge for you...

Just wondering... I'm kinda new to all this but what do you watch the PCM for? Does it show codes or run diagnostics? And are they more expensive?

The PCM is the trucks computer... All the inputs it sees are sometimes nice to see yourself...

The gauge also scans for codes and does cylinder contribution tests and buzz tests...

Just a thought.

What about fuel pressure?

You can get a fuel pressure gauge if you want... The problem is that the pressures bounce around a lot and it won't be long before you kill a sender which aren't cheap parts...
