    I'm not sure if this question belongs here,if not the Mod's will put it away.I ordered the Power Harnesses from "Diesel Freak" for my ol' Freight with a C-15.I'm going to put them on,my "Paranoid" little brain started and now I realize I have no clue if I'll get dinged or an O.O.S. for it when they see the "dial" for the adjustable on the dash.I will/would try to place it in a more out of the way place if it's a violation,but it wouldn't be quite so user friendly if I need to tuck it under the dash.Anyone whom is more familiar with the Regs./Laws on this would be appreciated.T.I.A.

    Doesn't the emissions go off the engine not the truck? Kinda how a glider works. Either way I like your combo!!!

    With this I'm gonna keep it around 3-5 so I'm not going to blow much smoke,cept on big grades of course. I've already had the E.C.M. Tuned up so I guess they could prob. ding me if they dumped it,but I'll just try to keep cool, I just wasn't certain of the Regs. of an "aftermarket" mod like this one,so i just thought I'd do a bit of C.Y.A. deffering to an incredibly knowledgeable group, such as yourselves, that are on this awsome Forum.Thx. again all...Shift+R improves the quality of this image.

    That boost wire you're talking about has been discussed on the forum a lot and general opinion is its no good for your engine. Doesn't add any power but dumps a bunch of soot into the oil . Just run the fuel temp wire and leave the boost gauge with the dial off the engine.
