Which gauges to get?
I'm looking to add one of those gauge holders that fits onto the A-pillar. I currently have the stock set on the instrument panel that came with the truck, just the basics.
My question is: what two or three gauges would be the most helpful for my use? I don't do any pulling yet, the RV trailer is a ways off and I don't have any add-ons that I know of. The 4x4 is for beach travel or bad weather.
Thoughts?

Read my thread https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-no-codes.html

Heh heh, your thread was what actually got me thinking! I'm old school and think in terms of oil pressure/temp, fuel pressure, coolant temp, etc. Stuff like fuel trims and OBDII is all new to me.
I bought a scanner for $130 at the local parts store a few years ago for reading my trouble codes, but I don't understand half of what it might be able to tell me. I have some learning to do with all these sensors and terms. So I'm going to read through your thread a few times so I can begin to get up to speed with the rest of ya.
Thanks for your input!

Thanks for that, Sir.
I'm one of the few that has a Windows phone which doesn't work with many apps designed for Android or Apple. It will be time for a replacement soon so I'll have to switch OS. I've seen others having frequent issues with ads and update problems on their Android so I had been reluctant to switch. I don't have those issues.
But I would like that App so I expect I will be leaning in that direction.
