seyser Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Was there ever a factory boost gauge offered for the R models that matched the other gauges? Jeremy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53944-oem-r-model-turbo-boost-gauge/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmackattack Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Yes they had one. I have not seen one for sale in years. the one I saw in a company truck I drove did not have numbers on the gauge. it just had dash marks in what I assume 5 or 10 psi increments. I bought an aftermarket auto meter for my R model as I could not find a factory gauge 7 years ago Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53944-oem-r-model-turbo-boost-gauge/#findComment-403669 Share on other sites More sharing options...

seyser Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 I think I found a gauge. The gal at the local Mack dealer searched all R model gauge part numbers which began with 7MT and came up with 7MT232 for a 0-50psi manifold pressure gauge. I’m guessing this will be the correct one. I was able to locate a picture of what I think it looks like. I plan to get one on order, dealer quoted $118. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53944-oem-r-model-turbo-boost-gauge/#findComment-405066 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtymilkman Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 That's what mine looked like. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53944-oem-r-model-turbo-boost-gauge/#findComment-405076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobert62 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 $118 doesn't seem to bad of a price for a quality gauge. It's also nice to hear someone took the time to help you.

Lmackattack Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 That one looks a little dirrerent than the one I saw in a old R model. the one I saw was just like that but without numbers. I thought it was odd that it did not give a number reading. just dash marks that I had assumed were 10 Psi increments Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53944-oem-r-model-turbo-boost-gauge/#findComment-405081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
seyser Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 I ordered one and should have it by end of week. I’m glad they’re still available. I’m pretty particular with things and matching gauges is a must. My truck was missing the plastic filler cover over the extra gauge hole so i figured instead of finding one of those I’d put a boost gauge in. Who doesn’t like more gauges anyways right !? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53944-oem-r-model-turbo-boost-gauge/#findComment-405085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
