If you get the full length pillars, they are beautiful. They are not like the old single and dual pods that left an ugly edge. The holes are cut to 2" and the gauges are 2 1/16", so you have a 1/32" inch friction to hold it down.

You would be the neighbor I would ignore and not bend over backwards to help. Loud and obnoxious is not the best way to make friends.

I am a beta tester for them right now on the 6.0L truck, so I have a test version of their EGT probe and add on cable. It is working well for me. I currently run a 6 parameter screen with coolant temp, oil temp, trans temp, exhaust gas temp, intake air temp, and voltage. In the future I hope to get either oil pressure, or fuel pressure working if not both. The oil pressure sensor in the 6.0L is simply an on off switch, so we will have to go with an add on sensor for that. We may be able to get fuel pressure from existing sensors but we haven't got it working yet. Here are a few pictures of my current setup. It allows you to keep your grab handle, and you can adjust the color to match the factory gauges (mine still doesn't quite match, but I haven't had time to mess with it enough yet.
I assume since you are looking for EGT you have a diesel. What year truck do you have? The dashhawk only works on CAN BUS vehicles, so that means 03-up trucks with the 6.0L, or 05-up gas engine trucks.

Beerstalker, sry for the late reply. But that is good info. So, how much would a unit like that cost fully configured like you have it there? Everything ties into the OBD-II but the EGT and oil press, right?
The only reason why I'd perfer gauges to that is how easy something like that could walk. I'd image it would take much.
lonewolftx, how well do the ul's do at night? Do you have picks of while there illuminated? Also, had a change to view your gallery. Good stuff man.
