hello all.

what brand of air fuel gauge would you guys recomend?

i was thinking either an autometer or the one you can get at kragen..

i just wanted some opinions on what brands everybody has had the best of luck with.

Go with the AEM UEGO wideband. I've had buddies run the LC1 and it was not as nice as the AEM, and the Kragen one is trash.

Why do you want one? Do you plan on boosting your motor, or going a standalone?

Just becuz i would like to know how my truck is running.

And eventually i plan on trying a standalone or the do it urself megasquirt.
That wont be for a while.

Thanks for the input

You're truck will run between 14.6-15.5 on a daily cruise. Or it should. Full throttle it'll drop to low 11's. Or, it should at least.

This is on a good running 22RE.

I run the PLX Devices SM-AFR + DM-5 AFR Combo. Works wonderful, albeit, a bit on the pricey side. However, it has proven invaluable for tuning, etc.

You just need to weld an O2 bung on your exhaust for the wideband sensor.

I love my LC1, set it up and calibrated it once and its worked perfect for a few years now.

I relocated the emergency flasher switch.

Thank you guys a lot. All the information i can get is great.

Thats another reason i want a gauge. Is because i get about 188 to a tank of fuel. Ive heard of people getting 250-300. And sometimes when im cruising i can smell the strong exhaust smill in my truck and im pretty sure its running rich.

Btw my engine just went through a full rebuild and has abt 3500 on it. With cam and bored out... Sooo. It better be a good running 22re. Lol.

Although the PLX is infact a good device, I think it's a bit out of his league for necessity in this project. Hell, the AEM UEGO is a bit pricey to just have to look at. I am currently running the AEM without a standalone right now because I need to see how the motor is running when it sees boost on the stock ECU, for I can't tune or touch it. However, a full standalone has it's own AFR (or Lamba, if that's what you prefer, like I do) gauge in MegaTune.

I absolutely agree with you. I've run the LC1 with a few buddies, and there was no problems. I just personally think the AEM is a little nicer of a unit.

here's my AEM. Interchangeable faceplates, and tunable output settings.
