Welcome aboard Tyler mate!
Nice looking rig you've upgraded to there, well done!
I've learnt on here that an EGT gauge is very helpful for engine longevity. Exhaust Gas Temperatures should I believe be kept if possible under 550 degrees in your ZD30 beast, great trucks for sure mate!

G'day Tyler.
Welcome to the forum and glad to have another West Aussie on here.
Nice set up.
It might pay to ask any questions in the appropriate thread, as not a lot of members read this one.
There's quite a few members on here from down your way, and inland from you, and occasionally we have a meet up.
I'm in Merredin.
Take care out there.
