Bill..The OEM gages are not much good. The RPM, Boost and speedometer are close, The rest are useless My Transmission temp can be reading 200 on the external gage and the OEM gage has not budged. As I recall the parameters on Trans temp are 150---170. We monitor Pre turbo EGT and tranny temps at all times. I also like to monitor Boost and coolent temps on hard pulls. Alarms are set at EGT 1200, Boost 35, tranny temp 170. We have never seen this thing get hot..
We hit all those numbers pulling Fancy Gap in Va (6% 8 miles.) we backed off to 55MPH to stay within parameters. e highl recommend the gage(your choice, for towing.
