I am so happy that you asked this !!!


I also spotted that gauge-box and was wondering the same thing.

I would like to have at least two of them.

It looks almost as good as anything I could cobble up, without having to build my own.

I've already got the dual pillar pod with my boost & EGT and I have the tach on the steering column, so that pod would be perfect for mounting my trans temp gauge and air bag gauge/ controls.

The gauge pod looks nice- I'd use it for tranny temp, voltage, oil pressure, stuff that isnt crucial to performance and needs immediate monitoring pulling a load up a hill (which that truck had never done).

The "babied all its life" was a turn off for me. I had a creampuff I bougth in 2000- it was a gutless fuel guzzler. I got the injectors redone at 140K, and the guy at the shop said they looked and popped like they had 300k. Moderate to heavy towing, and 15K/ year for my buying.
