BENEFITS OF DIESEL TRUCK GAUGES

These automotive gauges serve a variety of functions in the daily maintenance and upkeep of your diesel truck, ensuring that all of its systems are within standard parameters and functioning properly. Aftermarket truck gauges provide readings on your truck’s oil, fuel and air pressure levels to make sure they’re not running too low or too high. Temperature gauges give quick at-a-glance readouts on your diesel truck’s water, oil and transmission temperature to make sure they’re not running too hot. Specialty gauges such as boost gauges give you peace of mind when used for applications such as towing heavy loads. Volt gauges will provide you with readouts on your truck’s battery levels, protecting your truck’s electrical systems and electrical connections and alerting you in case power is running low. There are lots of other MaxTow diesel truck gauges that perform many additional vital functions as well. So when you’re looking for the best aftermarket automotive gauges, you don’t need to look any further than MaxTow which is your source for unique, high-quality and high-performance gauges.

WHAT GAUGES DO I NEED FOR TOWING?

When you’re in it for the long haul, there are several key MaxTow gauges that will benefit your diesel truck when towing those heavy loads. At the top of this list are EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) and Transmission Temperature Gauges.

An EGT gauge monitors the exhaust gas temperature of a diesel truck’s engine by using MaxTow’s Type K thermocouple EGT probe which is also included. With the additional strain that a tow puts on your truck, such as when driving up a steep incline, your truck’s diesel engine will be working overtime to keep up with that extra capacity. An EGT gauge can essentially warn the driver in the event of conditions that could potentially be damaging to the engine.

Transmission Temperature gauges read and display your diesel truck’s transmission temperature. Trans temp gauges during a long haul are extremely important because they will alert you in the event your transmission is overheating. Along with the issue of a blocked cooler, another one of the main reasons why a transmission can overheat is due to older transmission fluid, which can be far less effective at performing its function of keeping the system cool. When towing, the added pressure on the engine can cause increased temperatures, in-turn increasing the temperature of your transmission. That’s why your transmission temperature gauge will keep you up to date with readings that will indicate whether the trans temp is within its proper range.

Differential Temperature gauges are an example of some of the other most important gauges for towing. They help you to monitor the temperature of the gear oil in the rear differential of your diesel truck through the use of MaxTow’s Electronic Temperature Sensor with ⅛-27 NPT Threads which is also included. In this case, high temperatures can once again lead to premature wear and expensive repairs. As with a transmission temperature gauge, a differential temp gauge will keep you posted with the latest readings on your differential temperature in the event any adjustments need to be made while enroute with your tow.
