gauges
i was wondering if anyone has installed mechanical gauges on there a pillar instead of using the digital ones u get with ur programmers. i am intrested in installing them in my truck like i had in my 06. i hav never seen any 6.4 with gauges mounted on the apillar.

Mechanical guages are not as accurate as the digital stuff. Also, with all the sensors, they are all monitored digitally.
It can probably be done. but with something like a Scangauge II, it is small compact, you can mount most anywhere and it plugs directly into your ODB port. I have well over 30 functions that I can monitor if needed. I like the mechanical gauge look as I farmed for half my life and still like the look. But functionallity, the digial monitoring is faster and more precise, and as you get older, easier to read! I need the info and not the look anymore.

The Edge Insight CTS monitors EGTs as well as several others on the market. I like the OBDII readers. I also like having the driver side handle on the pillar. Here is a pic of mine just after install.

Yes, it does monitor EGT's. It will monitor before the catalyst, after the catalyst and after the DPF Temps. Anywhere that has a sensor, it can monitor in real time down to 1 sec intervals.

Mechanical gauges to me are a choice that does denote a better look and has the old style feel. I can relate to the OP and mechanical guages, it seems to add that "super duty" feel to your truck.
