Pillar Gauge Cluster recommendation
Looking for recommendations for a Pillar Gauge cluster on my '04 F350 DRW 2 wheel drive.
I know Fuel Pressure is #1, but what else?
Boost maybe? or anything else.
Also a brand of gauge for the cluster. Any kits that are already out there with multiple gauges.
Is there a ScanGuage that does Fuel Pressure and Boost?

Also is there a scan tool out there that is affordable that reads the codes from diesels? Not the little cheap "Check Engine Light" ones at the auto parts stores, but one that I can use that will show other codes that do not come up on those.
Will the Scan Gauge 2 do this?

A SG2 will read most of...if not all codes. I went with a 3-gauge pillar from RiffRaff:
Riffraff Diesel: AutoMeter Pillar Pods
Then put Fuel Pressure, pyrometer and boost Isspro EV2 gauges in mine.
Pyrometer:
Riffraff Diesel: Pyrometer 0-1600F
Fuel Pressure:
Riffraff Diesel: Fuel Pressure 0-100 PSI
Boost:
Riffraff Diesel: Turbo Boost 0-40 PSI
I haven't had mine in long enough (less than a week) to give a fair comment...but I like how it looks in the truck. He pre-painted the pillar before shipment...the color match is so close I think it's just the difference in new paint & older sun faded. If you do go ahead and order from Clay @ RiffRaff, you need to make sure you specify your using 'em on a 6.0L truck. The fuel pressure test port on the 7.3L is completely different...and from talking to him, until now most of his Ford business was 7.3L crowd. I can say this, his customer service is outstanding

they look great and I can't wait to install. I also bought a fuel rail adapter, but that isn't something you have to buy. I just did to make the install easier

Ordered my ScanGauge II on Friday, should have it in a day or two.
Anyone have a link on the Glowshift cluster and which Gauges come with it?
ScanGauge II was $159 on Ebay with free shipping.

That gauge won't work. You need the 0-100 psi gauge. contact the seller and see if they can change your order to the higher psi fuel pressure
I love my setup. I spent 3-4 hours last night soldering and running wires for mine. Ran out of wire, so have to pick up some today and finish the install
here is the setup I bought. lets you pick your gauges

It does come with a 100PSI Gauge. Whew.. Ebay Lister said he copied and pasted it wrong. Paid $210 for a 3 gauge color matched pillar cluster with a Pyro, Boost and 100 PSI Fuel Pressure gauge. Also as stated, I bought a ScanGaugeII.
