The Attitude is reading boost from ECM that is reading voltage from the MAP sensor to calculate. Pretty much limited electronically to around 40psi readings, maybe a few pounds more. I would not trust readings over 40psi on the Attitude display or on my TST R49 remote for that matter. You will be able to go higher boost than that with the Silver 62 so I would get a 60psi analog boost gauge if it was me.

Ive had both an attitude monitor and mechanical/electrical gauges and I really like the manuals better. Now im currently looking into some Dakota Digital gauges when I redo my gauge setup soon.

The gauges look cool and tend to get more people to notice and race you. I had mine in the a-pillar (3) and liked them a bunch but could not read them all of the time like I wanted so I switched to the Commander monitor.

The monitor is great for it's ability to go back in and check your min and max level's and also the warning feature is nice as well. I removed my gauges from the a-pillar but may reinstall them in the future for the "cool" look.

Is this the C2 boost gauge you see on summits website??

I don't know any reason it should not work on a Dodge Cummins...

ON EDIT:
The analog electric is not recommended on Dodge Diesel and is not needed, all you need is the mechanical model like above.

I have more than one see through credit card that I can attribute to the mod addiction, little discipline and no common sense when it comes to saving money.

I prefer gauges that also monitor.

SPA's have a peak recall feature and user programmable over-temp/over-boost alarms (along with a ton of other programmable features). You also get two parameters monitored in a single 2" gauge.
