Time to pick out some guages - help please

So ive been saving up some money for pillar guages, now its time to pick out what i want.

Im running a smarty jr with an nv5600 tranny. All i probably need is pyro and boost but i like the look of 3 on the pillar alot better.

Who likes what?

Post Pics Please

Autometer has the new factory match gauges. that is what I am going with. I will get the pyro and boost. You can probably go with a rail pressure for a third.

I like the factory match gauges. Isspro makes a set that matches the 3rd gens perfect.

Mine:
Pressure: oil, fuel, boost
Temperature: Water, Trans, Rear Diff
Pyro

Depending on what I am or not towing, dictates what I monitor.
Daily driving & towing light: Oil pressure, trans temp, pyro
Towing med or heavy: Boost, Water temp, pyro

Depending upon hills, I may switch around, as well. And, yes, my gauges are electrical.

My customers love the new Autometer factory match gauges. The lighting is the closest to the factory cluster but you definitely need the LED dimmer as they are bright!

I would add a rail or fuel pressure gauge along with the boost and EGT.

I like the autometer kit I bought. It has everything you need to install except boost bolt.

I have Isspro and like them, match my factory gauges and work fine.

Got boost, fuel pressure, pyro, tranny temp.

You might want to mock up a pillar gauge setup before you install it. I had one on my old truck(an 06) and the pillar guages gave me a huge blind spot because they stick out so far. I actually had to look around them when making a left hand turn to see the road. I really wasnt that big of a deal but when i got my new truck i went with a steering column pod and dash pod and like it alot better. Just something to think about and my humble .02.

I think the Isspro are a much better match for the 3rd gen trucks, but those autometer do look sweet!
