    Why the hell are EGT/Pyrometer gauges so fing expensive? and they don't come with a probe.

    All my trucks have always had Pyrometers already in them except this new Century that I bought doesn't have one?

    Local parts stores want 110 just for the pyro gauge and the probe is another 50-60 bucks?
