Suggested Upgrades for Diesels

[DieselD24]

Exactly which one did you get? Perhaps you can lead me in the right direction.

I got the black face, black bezel, orange pointer ones. 0-40 psi fuel, pyro, trans temp, and 0-40 boost. 3 gauge pillar mount and a steering column mount. Is this the info you wanted?

[DieselD24]

Yes, thank you. I'd like to get a 3 gauge pillar, but I'd also hate to relocate the Quad.

I added a link for different gauges in the above post. Here is the link again: /threads/3114-Dodge-Gauges">http://forum.mopar1973man.com/threads/3114-Dodge-Gauges There is lots of information in the link.

[DieselD24]

It wasn't on there, but thanks. Very helpful link.

--- Update to the previous post...

Trans temp is also a must for me as well.

I think bigger brakes should be on this list if you have a 24v.

[Heavyd1980]

are the third gen brakes that much better??? i know that you told me they are about 30% bigger!

[DieselD24]

Is there an upgrade kit available?Or do you just piece it together from other generations?

[Heavyd1980]

Cajflynn told me to get the brackets and calipers out of a wrecking yard and rotors from the auto parts store other than that it's a bolt on.

Whats the performax gauges? Do these gauges use an ECM of their own to monitor data?

I believe to upgrade to later year brakes, you have to go to larger wheels for clearance. I'm not hard on brakes & I have no issues with the stock size. When I tow, I'm used to anticipating stops & gentle slow downs from hauling a live load (horses).

edit Now when I turn the power up, I may think differently!

Great info guys! Good step by step process!

once you get your fuel pressure gauge in it will most likely tell you what most of us on here already have found out the hard way.. "THE STOCK LIFT PUMPS SUCK":spend:

Couldn't be truer. In my experience i installed my electronic gauge but it showed 0 psi and the odd time it would bounce up a little. I just assumed i had wired something wrong and it wasn't working, but not so:cookoo: That is how much fuel pressure i had:stuned: To this day I can't figure out why I didn't cook the ip cuz I ran it for quite a while like that.
