I am planning to buy some gauges for the truck. Most likely Isspro Ford match. But what ones are most useful and common to run? I was thinking boost, EGT and fuel, but I am curious as to what others are doing...
Aftermarket gauges...which ones?

If you intend to limit yourself to three choose egt, trans, and fuel pressure. Boost is fine for reference but doesnt tell you much more in my opinion.
If you can swing 4 gauges that would be better.

depends on if you have an auto or manual. If you have a manual then egt, boost, and fuel psi. If you have an auto then all those and a trans temp guage

I am open to running more than 3 - kinda the number that immediately popped into my head. "Whatever gives best information" is how I look at it. So EGT, fuel, trans, boost (reference) is good?
I am somewhat new to diesel - not trucks in general (lots of gasser experience) so trying to learn what is most important on these.

It's an auto...so I will be sure to add in trans temp.
I concur here with a vote to go with 4 EV2 gauges.
Boost is like the "Fun meter" so I say get it to measure you fun just in case the turbo sound or g-force isn't enough.

or go with 2 of the interceptor digital gauges
I have autometer ford match and the boost gauge doesn't fit in the 4 gauge pod very well due to the fitting on the back. it really doesn't fit at all in the pod

lol @ "boost is the fun gauge"
Thanks for all the input fellas. I was looking at oil pressure gauges and the ones I came across were specific to the HPOP - is that the one you meant, or is it a different one?

Isspro EV-2
0-1600 or 0-2000 EGT
0-40 Boost
100-280 Trans Temp
0-100 Fuel Pressure
PERFECT set up for a Ford 7.3 truck. Gives you ALL the info you really need, that the PCM does not offer in a good way (or at all).
No issues with tubing fitting in the back of Isspro gauges, full sweep, full electric gauges. Built in warning lights, programmable triggers...
No better gauge on the market.

Performax offer more options, and an overall cleaner install...
With the Performax line you mount the ESP or "Brain" under the hood, then all your sensor's run to it. Then you just run 3 wires into the cab to control up to 17 gauges. Not three wires for each gauge, three wires for 17 gauges.
You have Peak Recall, Data Logging, Warning lights and such. You can easily add and remove gauges, move them around to other areas...
If your drag racing you dont really care about trans temp, but you want to know exhaust back pressure, remove the trans temp and plug in the ebp gauge... bang, you have an EBP gauge. Hook up to the RV to go home and throw the trans temp back in... Just an example but...

Whether he does or doesn't I'd tend to agree with him on the EV2
I love mine and they look great.~Mitch

I'm definitely leaning in the direction of Isspro or the Autometer Ford match stuff (I'm anal that way) - but I've got a friend trying to convince me of running an Edge CTS instead. I'm old school though and I like my gauges. So, I'll decide soon.
