I'm Looking into buying Boost/Trans Temp/Exh Temp gauges for my 03 Cummins, Few brands that make a Factory matching kit. My only thing is buying the 3 and putting them on the A pillar you lose the Grab bar and I really like that. Has anyone mounted them on the A pillar and able to keep the grab bar? or where have you mounted them? and as far as brand goes, I do Believe in "You Get What You Paid For" but I just don't Justify spending $500 on 3 gauges and An A pillar kit (I.E. Autometer) When I could get the same style gauges with an A pillar for $180 from GlowShift. Opinions? Suggestions? Thanks! :favorites13:

A 03 Cummins is very cool in my book, as for gages like you said you get what you paid for.

mainly I just want to be able to keep the grab bar, but when you buy the kit it replaces the whole A pillar trim losing the grab bar

With a single gauge you can keep the handle,

A Double or Triple will loose the handle.

You can get a dual column gauge pod from Autometer for about $37. I've got the single in my truck and like it. That'd allow you to run the single gauge pod SRT-10 style pillar and keep the grab handle.
