    Autometer Gauges

    For pyro, the Navistar official recommendation is to keep it below 1250°F sustained (pre-turbo measurement). Many people run theirs higher for short bursts, but you don't want to see a sustained value over that. My OBS truck has a factory voltmeter, but it is practically worthless. I had an...

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    Okay, this update is actually for last week, when I finally put insurance back on the truck and resumed driving it after the winter. I've mostly been driving my TDI Jetta. I had an NHRDA race this past Saturday, and I figured I should drive my truck since it is normally more consistent than...

    Gauge questions

    Yup, gauges are generally not vehicle specific. One minor exception is the range of the gauges. For instance, the Duramax owners get low (20-40 psi) fuel pressure gauges, while we Powerstroke owners get 100 psi fuel pressure gauges. One significant difference in brands is temperature...

    gauges

    And you can be sure that they match the OBS and SD Fords since we used my truck and Joe's to match colors and fonts! Regards, Michael Pliska

    Question ISSPRO Performax Series users

    You've probably figured it out by now, but there's currently a $100 rebate in effect if you buy a Performax set (ESP controller plus 3 gauges). I'd consider an HPOP Pressure gauge. It can help diagnose problems, and it's just fun to watch (it acts like it's attached to a string on your right...

    Need for gauges

    On my OBS 7.3L I put gauges in before I started mods, and I was amazed that I could get the EGTs into the danger zone. Granted, it was towing, but I was still surprised enough that I would put a pyrometer on any diesel I planned to run. I obviously have a dog in the fight (see my signature)...

    Gauges

    Yup, in my own self-serving way I will also recommend going electrical, specifically ISSPRO EV². It's easier running the wiring (you can easily daisy-chain the power, ground and dimmer wires) compared to running the tubing of a boost gauge. It's also MUCH simpler than running a mechanical fuel...

    ISSPRO stands behind their products!

    Thanks for the feedback! We shipped one orfice to Crumm today (I received the PM yesterday after our shipping dept closed). Thanks, Michael Pliska

    egt???

    Just to clarify on the thermocouple probe failures. Are the failed ones you are seeing the fully encased style (where you can't see the welded thermocouple junction), or the type with the welded wire junction "dangling" in the open? Since ISSPRO changed to the encased style (at least 20 years...

    Final Production gauges in...WOOHOO!

    For everyone who has been waiting for us to start shipping the Performax™ line, that time is finally here!!! We actually started shipping a couple of weeks ago (and were not taking orders until that date). The wholesale/distributor orders are starting to flow in, and we're cranking away on...

    ISSPRO stands behind their products!

    Sorry I missed this thread! I guess with all the dang forums out there I miss some. Thanks for those who had nice things to say... If anyone needs the boost gauge orfice mentioned above, just drop me a PM or email me at michael at isspro dot com. I've got a couple hundred of them sitting...

    Where is the best place to mount Pyro Probe?

    Definitely install your probe pre-turbo! The 1250° F limits mentioned above are pre-turbo. The temperature difference between Pre- and Post-turbo can vary drastically depending on driving conditions (anywhere from 50°F to 500°F or more). The old wives tales about thermocouple probes...

    How can I make it stop??

    A "quick and dirty" improvement is to clamp the leaves together in front of the rearend. It helped my wheelhop but did not eliminate it. I found some ready-made spring clamps (squared-off U-bolt with plate) at the local hardware store. Anyone have a link to the L&L units? Regards...

    HPOP Gauge options!

    Daryl, I posted on a similar thread on another forum as well. We will have HPOP gauges as part of our new line which will start production early next year. We are also looking at offering a gauge which uses the stock ICP sensor in the interim (based on our existing EV series). I was holding...

    Anyone use this?

    I'll admit to having had Sport Comps before I worked at ISSPRO. I had the same issue with fogging, but they otherwise worked okay. In my slightly biased opinion, I like the look of the ISSPRO gauges better, with the lighted pointers and backlighted dials (rather than perimeter lit like the...

    Which gauges???

    Yup, Joe has it right. I am being told that we should have them ready by around July 17. Supplier issues sometimes push these dates out (this one has been pushed out already), but I will keep some pressure on them for this one. Thanks and regards, Michael Pliska

    Which gauges???

    Dennis, What exactly is it doing? Let me know, and we'll replace whatever isn't working! Thanks, Michael Pliska

    egt sensor

    Just to chime in as another Oregonian on this site... I don't live too close to Bend/Redmond, but I have been known to make it out there occasionally (especially if Joe & Chelsea are having a BBQ!). I second the issue of TDS - I will still go there occasionally, but I do not like it as...

    Which gauges???

    I really can't add anything to this thread, as everyone seems to have the correct info about our gauges. On the new line you will have the option of installing the controller box under the hood (it will be fully sealed), then just running the 3 wires daisy-chain style to your gauges. If you...

    Sent you a PM with some details. Short answer is that we have them planned but it will be a little while before the digital versions come out. Thanks, Michael Pliska

    A**h*le at Autometer

    Thanks for the welcome! It could have been Jim, he is one of our mechanical designers here, who also creates our neato-wazoo renderings of new ideas. I have not been here all that long (8 mo), but most of our team has been here a while (up to 27 years). I like to get out on these forums...
