What Guages to get?

I am looking to get guages and wanted to get some opinions on what other people are using.

I got the DiPricol EGT, Boost (35lb) and Trans Temp Gauge and mounted them on a dash pod about two weeks ago. Everything works fine and looks great. I got mine from DieselManor and also got their Transmission Temperature line adapter. Total cost was less than $500 including shipping. They even threw in the boost bolt for free.

gonna do dipricols myself later this year. mainly because they match the stock gauges and i like fact that they have a "red zone" on the gauge face itself telling you when you are about to exceed temp or drop fuel press too low. easy on the eye's when all you have to do is glance at them to see how close to the red you are. i'm going with pyro, 60lb boost and fuel press.

I'm not towing on a regular basis, so a transmission temperature gauge isn't a priority. I went with the two most important gauges in one, EGT and boost. I really like having the two gauges in an optimal location and still keeping the grab handle. The Quad fuel/rail pressure gauge set up is really cheap and recommended if you start adding any mods that increase fueling demands.

DiProcol's are spot on to the factory look. Issopro's are less expensive and pretty close to the factory look. I understand that both are good. I myself am planning on buying the DiProcol's this weekend.

I installed the ISSPRO's - EGT, Boost, and Fuel Pressure and the DiPricol Rail Pressure. Had ISSPRO made a Rail Pressure gauge I would have intalled it. The ISSPRO gauges resemble the factory stock gauges over the DiPricol. I gave up my entry handle to a 3 gauege pillar and mounted the Rail Pressure gauge in a single bullet pod next to (outby) the bottm pillar gauge. That is a dead spot anyway so filling it up with a gauge just made sense. Didn't really need a tranny temp gauge with the 6-speed, although they do make the Fast Coolers for your tranny so you could install a tranny temp too.

Man, that is awesome! Any idea on what a system like that would cost? The capabilities that would open up would be almost endless. --Eric
