I say- better get the basics covered, that way you won't be kicking yourself when PMS kicks in.
take a look at my gauge setup in my gallery.

[QUOTE=mudmaker]Have any of you guys run one of these.

i just bought one today, monitors everything your truck has a sensor for and can record i believe for 60 seconds so you can go back and look at things. It reads and clears DTC's as weel, even monitors your HPOP! They are also working on an upgrade so it can do cylinder contribution testing and things of the like. I also have a set of dipricols/tranny/egt/boost.

Or must new gauges be added ?

The oil pressure gauge is controlled simply by a switch. The oil pressure sensor in the HPOP res is just a switch that sends the signal to the dash gauge. At 7psi+, the gague reads normal, below 7psi, it reads zero. Doesn't really serve a point IMO.
I've never had the factory temp gague move past normal either. I do have Autometer gauges that read temp as well, so I know what's really happening. At ~ 160-180 degrees of water temp, the factory gauge will read normal, and mine just sits there all the way up to a highest temp of 210* that I've seen. I'd hate to know just how hot it was getting if the factory temp guage actually moves higher than normal.
