Suggestion for 3rd gauge on manual tranny truck?
Picking up a 96 Dodge 12V 5 Speed.

Getting a set of gauges shipped out so I can install them in Houston for the trip home towing my truck.

Going to run boost & pyro for sure.. What should I run for the third gauge? I was thinking oil temp..

Any suggestions?

Thanks

My Cobalts are gonna be Tranny Temp/Boost/Boost/Pyro in the 98...but I'll have two chargers

I would say tranny/diff temp if it's a towing rig...but from what I've heard, they're not required!

Too bad no one makes a counter that you can just click a button to work. This way you would be able to keep track of all the Duraslacks and Powerchokes you have outpulled or beat in a race

Now there's an Idea!! Blue get the fiberglass and bondo out we need ya to incorperate a bale counter into an apillar guage. I'd go fuel presure if it was mine, or why not a 2 guage pod?

Get onboard air and some air horns and you could put air pressure!

I don't trust the stock gauges. Besides pyro and boost I have fuel pressure (great to know when to change filters) and will be getting an oil pressure (everyone knows how consitant the dodge sender is).

Down the road an air pressure gauge for OBA.

Alright. Just give me the word and I'm ready to start. Got my fiberglass, bondo, spot putty, spray paint, and a fresh case of adult beverages.
