well, here lately I have been playing with the idea of getting a pillar and filling it with gauges. as far as I can tell, aero force doesn't make one for our years, so I was gonna see what y'all thought I should go with?

I was thinking one I'd make a/f ratio..not
sure on the other two. maybe teams temp?

thoughts?

i use all aem guages in my triple pod. i just like that they match my dash like stock. trans temp, a/f guage, and boost. they send 2 covers with them. you can make the faces white or black. with red digital readouts. and to me when you start throwing guages in they should all match. looks tacky when you start using different guages.

Only reason I didnt suggest A/F was because I dont think he was planning on running a cam or extensive motor work. Cody forgive me if you are running a tuner or plan on diving into the motor then yes I would suggest an A/F meter. I know most of your stuff looking through the mods were visual that I could remember. Looking at your build Zack you were planning on going into the motor so I agree the A/F was the wise choice, just dont know the plans for his.

Seeing as your running diff pump for boost could run a fuel pressure gauge to make sure your not dropping pressure at the topend of the power band.

or an edge juice with attitude, full LCD touch screen, customizable, and can show whichever guages you want, and, program you truck at the same time. makes sense to me to get one thing to cover it all...but if i were to pick 3 for a half ton, A/T temp, Fuel pressure, rear dif temp. Doesn't your stock IC have an oil pressure? i know in my truck it does, and my truck has boost, EGT, and tranny temp, i want to add Fuel PSI after lift pump, and if i can, after IP...than also add front and rear dif temps...

On a gas truck the only really guages that matter besides your stockers are tranny temp, A/F if you have a reprogramable tuner, and maybe vacumn for mileage.

Avoid the urge to over guage. Sometimes too much is just that.

i way disagree with this. never nothing wrong with monitoring everything that you can. it can only help you know what your truck is doing.
