Fuel pressure and HPO pressure. Have a look at ITP diesel. The rest are handy, but less so IMO. I am thinking of passing on the HPO gauge as I can log that with my AE.

Fuel Pressure is a staple.
Then Water Temp or (Oil Temp) and Oil Pressure.

fuel pressure 0-100, oil temp low as possible to 250, same with water temp, oil pressure and volts.

The new HPOP gauge, though, gives you registration of pressures up to 4,000 psi.

I'm getting ready to get set up with gauges myself, who has the best deal? I went to Isspro's site but they didn't have the pillar I want.

ITP has the quad pillar and matching paint -- call Dennis. I painted mine in the parking lot of the hotel I was staying at at the time.

I've been looking at the isspro on deisel manor. My next question was going to be if anyone has the pods already painted but it sounds like thats a no go. They have the 3 gauge pillar complete set for $299. Is that a good deal?

Yep -- pretty good deal. I paid $350 for mine, but I got the LED backlights & DiPricols. Dennis just threw in the quad-pillar for no extra cost, so now I have a place for that 4th gauge on the pillar (which I still haven't gotten yet )...

Painting it isn't that big of a deal. You can do it right when you get it so it'll be ready for your install. I did mine the night before. I put on four thin coats just to make sure I got no runs and good even coverage.

Anyone know the codes for the paint or how I could find out? Seems the sticker in the driver door is missing.
