Gauge suggestions

I have a EGT on the pillar but that's the only gauge except for the factory gauges. What would you put in if you could start from scratch. I don't need a tuner yet, I'm happy with the truck as is, all stock except straight exhaust. The pillar gauge is autometer white face pyro. If you have a suggestion on this and where to buy. I would appreciate it.

thanks

Mud

Agreed. The top two gauges to have are EGT and Fuel Pressure. Followed by ECT and EOT or Tranny Temp (If you pull heavy).

Look at this package:

Ford SuperDuty Gauge Pods

I didnt buy as a package so I ended up paying more, but 3 plus the pod $150!

These look good at night, I got the white face use the light blue, almost matches the dash at night.

i have a triple pod pillar with the "standard" (pyro, boost, trans). i want to get a fuel pressure gauge and do a custom insert cut out in that area above the fuse panel near the air vent. i've seen some photos of members with gauges there and it looked real good. i use autometer phantom II gauges and it matches my stock gauges well. most people think it came built with the truck.

Most economical and less clutter is something like the edge insight or diablo gauges, just plugs into obdII port and monitors everthing else you want except fuel pressure. Plus it can be set up with high temp alarms that change screen color and auible alert..

this will depend on year of truck. my edge insight will not moniter everything. it does EOT, ECT, boost, but not sonething simple as oil pressure or battery voltage. mine is a early build 2004.
