I like these. http://www.dieselmanor.com/isspro/EV...-black-red.asp

They match the OE gauges nicely. You can also get the colored bulb covers so they the background lighting is the same. For my 2002, I got the green.

Hope this helps.

I got the pillar pod with 3 Isspro gauges. On the pillar you just a quick glance away from seeing what you need to know. Got mine from Dieselmanor and installed em myself, great instructions and kit!

If i ever had a manual truck, I would get just the cluster bezel with boost and pyro. But since im an auto i got the 3 gauge pod on the A pillar. Works good.

I used the black gauge and green bulb covers and it matchs the factory gauges.

Not to hijack, but are all A pillar pods created equal?

I think the pods are close, some are prepainted, some not. The gauges are where differance is.

I just took out my Banks set and put in a set of D-Pricol Optix. They match the interior perfect and besides I found out my Banks guages weren't accurate at all. I replaced the tranny sender about 2 months ago and it was going out again.( temps were running high AGAIN)

What gives, I've got a pair of D-Pricol Optix EGT guages mounted in a cluster pod. No problems seeing 'em, if that's what your getting at.

IMHO, the D-Pricol Optix guages match the factory guages better than anything I've seen, look like they were born there.
