Gauge readings

[Ironmerganser]

Ok....so I am going to install my 3 gauge A-pillar this weekend. Was wondering what are the "normal" operating specs for each gauge? What I'm trying to say is when the truck is running, what is the normal boost reading? What is normal trans temp? What is normal exhaust temp?

Thanks guys!!!

Boost should be between 25 and 35 usually. Trans temp should be ambient temperature +100 degrees. EGT will be around 300-350 at idle and should never exceed 1300 for any length of time.

All these vary from truck to truck, but they should be close to these values.

Agree with flop ussually cruising down the highway bout 5 lbs of boost. However i've never seen over 150 degrees on the tranny down here in texas. Egt runs about 800 cruisin spikes to 1100 when ya get on it.

Spikes to 1100??? LOL You need more fuel...1600 is where the peg is on the gauge... I think I need a 2000...
