Another Gauge question
Riffraff Diesel: RDP Triple Pillar Gauge Kit
Looking around and looking around, Im thinking about settling with Clays set up. Is there any problems with these gauges? Does anyone have actual pictures of it in your truck? Pictures on a site to me tend to look different that reality. Ive always been a fan of auto-meter gauges, but not knowing if I need mechanical, or what not, I really lost.
This is about the cheapest I can find on gauges since I have no clue what to look for. Now going to talk to Clay and see if its possible to add the quad gauge pillar instead of the three so I can have an extra space for something later on.
Was going to do an exhaust first, but reading most of you guys post it seems the gauges should be the start to everything.
Any input, opionions, or other options are welcome to be heard.

I would not call that settling, ISSPROs are some of the best gauges out there. Most of the pics you will see on this forum of gauges are the ISSPRO setups.
Clay sells Autometer as well if that's what you preferred.
You could do exhaust before gauges, but definitely gauges before tuning. Gauges are good no matter what though tuned or not, so that you can understand and see what is going on better. For the 4th gauge if that's what you did, I recommend either a fuel pressure gauge, or a scan gauge with fuel pressure sender added, great option that will also allow code pulling and some live diagnostics, as well as BUZZ tests.

But after straighting that out. The interior color for the pod, where is the color code I will need to tell him? Door seal sticker or what? And im guessing ordering these the best to match the dash will be all black with the red pointer right?

Yea I know the pods arent expensive, but since im planning on adding in the near future, I dont see the point of wasting money buying 2 different pods. Just my thinking.

I get lucky every once in a while. Thanks. Those look a lot better than what I thought. Talking to one of my friends that drives a cummins and hes running auto-meter gauges (he knows everything about vehicles), and he said if he had a chance to change to the ISS pro gauges he would in a heartbeat. So I guess thats what Ill be getting.
So now on to the color I need. Where is the tag that has the interior color code? I have a 00 F250 4x4 Lariat.

Yea your prob right. I can alway go 3, then when I order that I can put it on a steering column pod so I can still use my visor.
