Hi all. Would a puller pod that only goes up to the grab handle work? As the airbags above that. You can see the line in the cover where bag rips out

Guys can anyone with egt gauges give me an idea of max temps and normal running? I have a pyro fitted and wondered what temps others were seeing. I have one which can be set at the temp which triggers the chip to go back to oem tune. Currently set to 675c. I would be interested to find what others are seeing at wot with a load on. Mine has a data log but so far never exceeded 675c.

I can get over 600c if i hammer it up a big hill with a trailer on. Normally runs under 350c at 100kmh and a couple hungy round town. My probes is in the dump pipe just after the turbo

Thanks fracturedranga thought 675 limit was a bit high, might knock it back to 550c for safety. My probe is in the dump right after the turbo. 3" exhaust helps too. Any others?

Hi,
I got the pod from Autron who also supplied the gauges.
It was black, just painted it to match the interior.

Thanks Paul, it would be nice to find one already painted. Might ask fracturedranga. I think Redarc are doing the Autron gauges now.

the top one is coolant temp, oil temp and auto trans temp, the bottom is egt and boost.
fro the auto trans i just got the standard sensor removed and taped up and the redarc sensor put in its place, drove home and had no dramas with the trans and no fault codes or light so it seems ok.
what is everyone else seeing for trans temps? mine just on the drive home was sitting at 95 degrees and taking off hard from the lights saw it hit 100 briefly. is this normal or am i going to have to get a trans cooler? im running 33's with 4.11 diff gears.
also what have people been setting there warnings at?

Fab'd up a holder for my redrac Dual Battery Monitor G52-VVA for the waste of space next to the climate control in my 2014 SR5 Hilux.

Hey Cam they are $375 on eBay at the moment.
If you keep and eye out you can get one for cheaper. I got mine for $230 from an auction on there

Yeah that’s what I found too. But why are they cheaper than what’s advertised on the Red Arc page?
Just wanting to make sure there Arno bogus ones out there.

Just be aware that anyone selling redarc products on ebay is not a redarc dealer and the products will not be covered by redarcs warranty!

I have Redarc gauges that have had warranty issues.
If not purchased through a Redarc dealer NO Warranty.

Find a reputable seller and ask them before you purchase if they will provide the warranty.
I contacted who I purchased mine though after Luke let me know about the warranty issue and they said they will honour the warranty. I have it in writing now if anything goes wrong.
Just couldn’t justify $460 for one gauge

Can someone please tell me the location (or picture) of the oil pressure sender and the best way to swap it out for an adaptor to add another pressure sender to the VDO gauge? 2017 KUN26 D4D.
