and mechanical oil pressure gauge will work.
anything over 7 lbs pressure hot idle is good.

I like the $20 or so Ebay Chinese digital gauges. Easy to run, seems to be accurate(at least as best compared as I can), and you don't take a chance on leaking oil in the cab(because leaked oil is a pain to clean up). Also, easier to read the small increments(when you've got a range of 10-40 normal running pressure and your gauges go to 100PSI, you are only reading on 1/2 of the gauge)

The tach will mostly likely not be compatible with the IDI and the three other gauges are so small that they won't tell you a whole lot.


I went with Glowshift Max Tow gauges myself, not the cheapest but not the most expensive either. They have been reliable so far and I like the look of them. The Isspro and Auto meter stuff was just too much money at the time and I didn't have very good luck with the last set of cheapo gauges I bought.
