4th gauge,which one?

I will be adding an A-pillar 3 gauge set soon and also want to add a gauge in the dash space next to the power point door (air bag turn off in the non-crew cabs). It looks like something is missing in that spot on the crews, so I would like to put a gauge there.

Two questions:

Which would be the next gauge on your list next to the pyro, trans, and boost?

Does anyone remember who installed a gauge in the above dash location? They provided a picture for FTE.

I'd want a good oil pressure guage or voltmeter.

I've got Water Temp, Oil Press, and Voltmeter on top of the pyro, boost, and trans. temp. I would suggest the Oil Pressure - my aftermarket gauge moves around a good bit but the factory one never budges from dead center. Just a peace-of-mind thing I guess...

I agree on the oil pressure - but may also want to consider a voltmeter or ammeter since there is nothing in any of the clusters to tell you what is going on with your electrical system. Just a thought -

Thanks guys! I was leaning towards an oil pressure gauge and since all three of you mentioned it, thats what I'll get. Thanks again!
