I use VDO. They match the factory gauges.

thanks for the replies, I like the look of the pillar guages better than the grab bar, Im 6'4 so i don't use the grab handle very much anyways.

The ISSPRO EV gauges (available from Motorhaven) also match the factory instrument panel quite well, at least in my '04.

There are pictures in my gallery showing the 3 gauge A-pillar setup. The whole package should be right around $300

ISSPRO EV's (Red pointer)

Their a nice match, and are 'well' backlit like the OEM gauges.. Easy to read numbers/marks.. Plus their priced well and are a good quality.. Theirs a pic of my EGT mounted in my gallery on my old 03..

..............HP.............

Hewitt Industries of Huntington Beach Ca. make the gauges for many aftermarket sellers including Gale Banks and for the aircraft suppliers like Aircraft Spruce. They are great to work with. I went thru their manufacturering plant and everything is top notch. I purchase a dual gauge EGT for my 04 one side for pre turbo and one for after turbo. Look them up www.hewittindustries.com

Sorry. The guy who made them up and had them available on The Diesel Stop.com went out of business and they are no longer available.

I've got the single pod, a-pillar w/ Cobalt by Autometer.. It looks cool as heck and I can still use the handle if I need to... Can't even really tell there is a gauge looking from Drivers window.. but for the people in the slow lane, can see that Blue glow, and know its over...

Hrmm, So you mounted the single pod below the handle? You got a pic of your install per-chance?
