Alright, like i said, i'm new to the game. I had just heard the name before. So i should expect to spend around 400$ on gauges? Including the pod? I'm curious as to why my father doesnt use gauges. He has an EFI live on his 04.5 duramax, and he has no gauges. And is there another chip y'all would reccomend besides a TS 6 position?

But the Allison tranny is a kick *** transmission. But what would cause it to over heat? Hes a general contractor, and hauls around a T250 bobcat and after that hes generally pulling around 18k pounds. (6,000lb trailer). And I've heard nothing but good about the TS, and i'm thinking that getting a fixed chip is kind of a gamble. Some get a good shift out of it, but some shift super hard to where its jerkin you around. Kinda like a dodge automatic!

Well my problem is that i don't want to blow my motor, or turbo. So i don't want to run it that hard. I know for sure i won't turn it above the 80 hp setting. I've got a buddy in California with a 96 7.3 and he runs his on the 140. I'm just not as much of a risk taker as he is. I'll get the option, but i won't use it. And you guys all reccomend Isspro gauges? And on his duramax he's got a tranny temp gauge that came stock, and is on the dash. So he really just needs a boost, and egt gauge. I would think he would want a boost gauge being as how hes got a larger tubro mouthpiece. I was thinking of calling the shop that did all the work and asking why they didn't put them on in the first place. (We bought it from a guy who did all the work)

And, what would be the significance of a boost gauge? Besides the fact that it would look bad ***.
