Nope, they dont make thos for our OBS trucks. thos are the step up from the atitude models, or the newer version, I am not sure which. OBS is stuck with just the tuner with the data stream. No one makes a tuner with a readout as we dont have signal capability built in. I know tthat they make a gague system that sends a all electronic signal to a center digital readout, I saw one in lima last year at the truck show, but for the life of me I cant remember who made it. I really dont care for it if I was going to have one myself, but it looked nice for a show truck.

Check these out. I think it might be my next gauge purchase. Not cheap but they do have (expensive!) options to add water temp and EGT (click the "sensor kits" tab)

those are nice, I looked at those when i was buying gagues for the 95 I just picked up. i decided to stay with the autometer pro series since they look just like the dash and ep the upgraded stock look. I wonder how bright they get to read them in daylight if the sun was behind you a bit???

If you don't want or can't afford an all in one guage what order would you rank in order of importance all the gauges that could be installed
For example
1. EGT
2. Trans temp (for those of use who are to lazy to shift)
3. Water temp
I get a little stuck after that on what should be next on the list

5. Oil pressure
6. ICP pressure

Boost is more than just for fun. When you start getting over 25 psi its the life meter of your stock turbo. Its also a great diagnostic tool and a good tell for what new mods are doing to your truck.
