73ferdf250highboy - Writing is one of my hobbies, but I appreciate feedback that it's not dry.
Lex2002 - Mounting has been my concern since you first shared your plan. I suspect you may end up regretting the hassle of the install vs. the ease of installing a more expensive option. The question could end up being "How much did you really save?" I could be wrong on this, so I'm watching with curiosity.

Ill tell you this though...the 2 digit display for the HYDRA CHIP is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too bright. Even when you dim it. I gotta put some window tint film over it or something. I can see the image reflected in the side window as if it was a heads'up display in a Vette.

Mounting those will be awkward, but I can see the appeal of a smaller caliber Buck$Zooka clip.
Unless you're wanting to look at the LPOP pressure, the oil sensors on the truck take care of the critical oil criteria and put that info on the OBDII port.
My choice is dual-pyros, fuel pressure, and OBDII for the rest. I still have a gauge on the bench that needs to be swapped in, but I'm getting close to done with gauges. Pay no attention to the steering wheel - it is fully functional:

My steering wheel was so bad I cut the leather off of the entire top half of it. I had already recovered it once, but the leather didn't hold up as well as it should have. One of these days I'll strip and recover it again, maybe with some fancy design and better padding next time. Or I'll just cave in and buy one; steering wheels are a colossal pain to stitch.
