Pillar Pod...........another stupid question

I know of some of the similarities with the super duty line and was having a hard time finding excursion gauge pods for the pillar, are they compatible? and is grey available?

AFAIK, A-pillar gauge pods are the same for SD's and X's. You might find one in grey, and if not, you can paint it to match. Some vendors will do the painting for a small fee.

How many and which gauges are you going for?

The Scangauge II will give you trans temp and a host of other things. Maybe run that in conjunction with an EGT gauge? I'm looking to retain my grab handle and have been looking at the Autometer gauges too.

Does anyone have a suggestion on gauges that will keep as close to possible to the factory look? In particular I am thinking of adding a trans temp and oil temp to my 2000 V10 in the 650 mod. I know the GlowShift ones have a green color - how close is that to the factory green? Anyone have favorites? These need to be useful but also look good...my truck will be on display often with a FD trailer attached and I often get questions about it.

Don't see too many people happy with glow***** in the long-term, spend the money on 'good' gauges. The Isspro EV2 series is pretty close to stock. Call Clay at Riffraff for the best package deal (painted pod, gauges, wiring stuff).
