Gauges (Need Opinions)

Need some opinions on the gauges. I am studk between the western Diesel gauges with the pillar pod and the Autometer gauge set. Leaning towards the WD I hear they match the stock gauges best, What do you guys think? Is one better than the other? I know with the Autometer you have to weld in a boss for the pyro and this is not true with the WD set.

I had the Autometer gauges on my old 2002 truck, and loved them. Alot/most guys have the autometer gauges. They are NOT cheap (At least the one on my truck wasn't) Mine was $480, and it had a Pyrometer, Trans Temp., and a boost gauge, and a flip toggle switch as well.

Good luck on your choice, but I say go Autometer !

What is the flip toggle switch for? Got mine (Autometer) with pillar for about 350-375 with competition EGT probe from Geno's garage.

The switch lets you chose what setting your chip is in. For example, with my Diablo Delta chip, which has 3 settings, and flip with switch on the go, and it will light green for Max HP setting, and flipit again, and it would light red for tow mode. The third setting had to be done with the engine off, and in N.
