Lots of smart folks here but I honestly still have problems wrapping my mind around the need for a boost gauge. I appreciate all the comments on the topic.

I bought my gauges online after doing a lot of $ comparisons. I did pyro, boost and volt- no tranny since I only tow a MasterCraft tow boat. I bought the AutoMeter Sport Comp series. I purchased the pod online from MotorHaven. I searched and compared for hours and those dealers had the best prices. MotorHaven gives you a color-matched pillar pod for less $ than any others I have found. The parts came in just yesterday, and look great. I'll install them in the next week or two if I can stay off the slopes. Tranny temp is recommended if you tow a large trailer. Google is a great place to start your search if you want to look for yourself- just enter keywords such as “ford diesel performance”, or “ford diesel gauges”. Good luck!

I liked the AutoMeter gauges better- personal preference. Not available at the haven as far as I can tell. The pod was still cheaper with shipping than at RPM. Can't wait to install them- anyone know if the pod is a direct replacement for the a-pillar or if it goes over it? I didn't see any fastener slots on the back of the pod- wonder how it is held in... I'll find out. Perhaps I'll just duct tape it to the post; maybe use some bailing wire too... After all, I am an FAA certified Airframe and Powerplant Aircraft Mechanic. Maybe I’ll try some RTV...
